Sealevel

Sealevel is as close as you can get to the ocean. The closest table is about five metres from the North Cronulla swells, and on stormy days the windows are sealed shut to protect diners from what would otherwise be a thorough drenching. The water-facing side of the restaurant is almost completely glass, and curved to facilitate as much of the view from as many tables as possible. Nathan Allouche is head chef, responsible for the Modern Australian menu with French and Italian accents.
