Built as a changing shed for the swimmers at Balmoral Beach in 1921, the elegant colonial building housing Bathers is the best-looking locker room we’ve seen. Brunch in the café involves homemade beans and ham hock or who-cares-about-calories cakes and fruit mocktails. Owner and chef Serge Dansereau runs a very smooth restaurant operation too. Fine dining dishes include pork belly and calamari that melt in the mouth and light prosciutto-wrapped jew fish as picks. Up there as an ultimate brunch spot.

Quality, precision and views will sweep you away. Priced accordingly.
What a setting. The sand is within toe's reach and the view from this beautiful old changing room is straight out to the heads. Come before night falls to catch the full glory. While the adjoining cafe offers a casual bite, the restaurant really turns it on with food-themed art, gilded service and a dignified atmosphere to match Serge Dansereau's sophisticated food. Classical French technique meets an enthusiasm for new flavours in the enticing contrast of seared Moreton Bay bugs and crisp pork belly, Asian mushrooms and a consomme poured at the table. There?s an emphasis on seafood, but meatier dishes shine, too, and the assiette of farmed Macleay Valley rabbit in liquorice sauce is a masterpiece of subtlety. Ditto the velvety rewards of roast venison with potato pur?e and porcini sauce. A North Shore favourite for eight years now under this Sydney cooking legend, it?s a great place to wow out-of towners. Don?t leave it just for them.
