Located in Mosman, Ripples at Chowder Bay is on the Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Harbour foreshore walk and offers magnificent views of Clifton Garden’s Beach. Its opening marked a momentous occasion, as it was the first time in over 100 years that the general public could enter this historic space, once reserved for secret military operations to defend Sydney Harbour.

The space includes alfresco dining on the deck as well as two private dining areas: AquaMine Room and the White Room.

Ripples at Chowder Bay opened in August 2007 and can accommodate up to 104 a la carte diners and 100 people for private functions inside. This fully licensed and BYO restaurant is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week and breakfast Saturday’s and Sunday’s. Our Chefs have designed a modern Australian menu with an Italian influence. Ripples at Chowder Bay captures the essence of relaxed Sydney dining by the water.

Ripples at Chowder Bay - User Reviews

Janetj:

We had lunch at Ripples at Chowder Bay today and had a lovely lunch. The food was a high quality and well presented, and the service was excellent. We couldn't have wanted for a better place to celebrate my father's 75th birthday. review 02/05/2012

Carol Griffin:

I just love the whole experience of Ripples at Chowder Bay-walking across the beach to the restaurant (you can go via the road as well) the beautiful big relaxed deck with magnificent views or the lovely heritage building if you prefer inside. I had a birthday dinner there recently with 10 friends. Most of us started with the very fresh scallops with pea puree mint and pancetta. For mains, we had veal saltimbocca with parsley and lemon butter-just the right amount of tang, confit of duck with sour cherry jus; Spanish mackerel, all excellent and I love the crispy baked rosemary potatoes. The passionfruit dessert with coconut biscotti was rich and creamy. We went BYO and the bill was just over $600 for 11 of us which I think is good value. The staff were attentive and did not get huffy when we were the last to leave. review 29/01/2012
