East Coast Lounge Chowder Bay

Trish Touring

Beautiful cafe / restaurant overlooking Sydney Harbour at Chowder Bay. We had coffee & a delicious brownie & I’ll definitely be back for lunch or dinner (or both). Nice & quiet - even though it was busy. You can even do some knitting whilst waiting - if you can take your eyes off the lovely view.

Palm beach, St Barts, The Hamptons, St Tropez: all places that would come to mind when you walk inside this little cottage. Although out in Chowder Bay, on Sydney Harbour, the styling may feel like you are in a far away location. But why you would need to be, when you have such a beautiful outlook on our own shores. Take a seat by the window for your brunch and watch the ferries drive past, or simply take in our lovey harbour. This part café/part high tea function space/gift shop features a fire place, couches, small and group tables. You can dine here for breakfast or brunch with a friend, or you can book a group lunch or high tea for around 60 guests for a birthday, high tea or similar. There is a welcoming looking space in the middle of the room by the fireplace, perfect to enjoy that cup of tea with friends. We were here in the late afternoon and decided to share a charcutterie board, featuring a variety of meats: salami and pastrami with lavosh crackers, taramasalata, olives and two cheeses of our choosing. We went for the triple brie and truffle pecorino. Certainly a generous serving. We also got and crispy baguette breads warm and flavoursome Sobrassada Jar. You can also purchase toasties, muesli, Ploughman's Plates and more! This went perfectly with a glass of bubbles (prosecco) and a “Dad and Dave’s Pale ale”. They like to stock all Australian boutique beers. There’s a great range of wines to select from. Or, you can also order coffees teas. They sell soaps, books, candles, hand creams, trinkets, jewellery, blankets and more to take a little gift home for mum, your nan (or yourself!). You can get a water-taxi here, bus or your own private vehicle, about 15 minutes from the Sydney CBD. Thanks to the lovely staff, in particular the owners Jennifer and Chris for a great visit.
