PROFILE OF THE RESTAURANT BY DE GROOTS MEDIAIt’s not often that you stumble across a world class venue with a stunner of a restaurant within its midst. Ironically called The Restaurant of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, this relaxed fine diner sits near, if not upon, the waters of Rushcutters Bay. Alternatively choose to dine on the deck area has a jetty which leads right up to the club, making The Restaurant the idealistic spot to watch the boats glide in after a race or a harbour cruise. Many of the yachties park at the jetty or steer their boats right up to the pond right in front of the deck. Besides the yachties dressed in polo shirts and boat shoes, hints of the ocean permeate your dining experience with the lapping water and the sea breeze working as continual reminders of your harbour-side position.
Although the view is best enjoyed during the sunlit hours, glimpses of the city lights at night time can be seen over the bobbing yachts. Day or night, however, the food is superb. With a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the ice bucket you can’t get much better than this. As a registered club, visitors need to show valid photo identification on entry but due to the specific nature of The Restaurant,
