Harbourside dining doesn't come any better than this!

Our cafe and restaurant is located on the forecourt of Fort Denison offering postcard views of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. Sit back, relax and watch the Harbour activity whilst enjoying a delicious lunch and glass of Australian wine.

Fort Denison is situated in the middle of Sydney Harbour. Return ferries depart regularly throughout the day from Circular Quay and Darling Harbour.

Took our UK visitors here the other night for the Sunday Sunset Jazz dinner. It was the perfect way to spend our evening. Unbelievable views of beautiful Sydney Harbour, the bridge and the Opera House. There's a $20 return ferry trip from Circular Quay to get there which includes your national park entry fee. The restaurant, while quite pricey, is nevertheless very reasonably priced when you take into account the location. Hubby and I shared a $25 tasting platter for our entre, and each had $38 salmon for our mains, both of which were wonderful. The owner bet us we'd share a chocolate cake for desert, since we'd ordered all the same so far. And when we did, he shouted the whole table a glass of Moscato each. And that chocolate cake was delicious!!.. very worthwhile losing the bet!
The jazz singer was great too, lovely voice and songs. She was a bit loud at first to the point where we couldn't hear ourselves talk, but there was no problem getting the volume turned down.
Top night!

Fort Denison Cafe And Restaurant

Ultimate Sydney

Thursday, July 22, 2010

Fort Denison, in Sydney Harbour, has great historical military significance, reflecting an interesting past on a convict-built old stone fort. Catch the ferry to the island or better still, whiz over on a water taxi and spend a grand day out. No one’s been held hostage at the old prison for years but you probably won’t want to leave, especially the restaurant whose food and service stacks up with the best in town. Tour the Martello Tower before sitting down to lunch on the forecourt. The cannon fires loudly at 1pm sharp to let nearby boats adjust their maritime clocks and signal time to dine. Almost 360-degree views make this the perfect spot to relax and soak up a bit of Australian history while tucking into oysters topped with shallots, a steakworthy of soldiers and warm sticky date pudding. At ease!

Sometimes a memorable meal is about more than just the food, especially in the middle of the Harbour.

IN THE late 1920s, my then teenage grandfather, Ian, paddled his handmade canoe from Drummoyne to Fort Denison to clamber over the 1862 sandstone battlements. He was unencumbered by the rules and caution its current custodians, the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), now enforce. Eighty years later, he has returned, paying $17 for the park entry and ferry ride. The island's nickname, Pinchgut, is a reference to the bread-and-water rations convicts endured on the island. Our visit is voluntary and in search of food. The guide leads us to the ramparts for the firing of the fort's 1pm gun. She offers Ian the honour but he declines with a wry smile, having spent World War II performing precisely that task.
