Sydney: Where to Eat: On the Water: Catalina Rose Bay

Catalina Rose Bay

This restaurant, one of the grand dames of the Sydney restaurant world, is for those who prefer more serene water views than are on offer at such trendy seafront spots as Otto’s or Icebergs. Few experiences match watching the quaint little seaplanes take off just outside the window as you feast on roasted snapper, but do look out for the enormous resident pelicans.
