Beach Road
Editorial
Take a beach holiday without leaving Sydney and enjoy succulent seafood, robust meat dishes and delightful sharing plates all within a coastal dwelling. With the sand dunes of Palm Beach in the distance, Beach Road restaurant is light and bright with a verandah that sweeps around the outside of its perimeter. White wooden floorboards, wide open windows and a general sense of space all contribute to the coast-house-cum restaurant effect. Guests perch at a bar made out of an old surf boat for pre-meal drinks before being seated either on the deck or in the primly set dining room.
For those whose tummy rumblings are merely a light vibration, the tapas menu provides the ideal taste sensations to accompany a selection from the wine list. However, if it’s the whole hog you’re after, the a la carte menu is brimming with lip-smacking dishes. Begin with Pacific oysters with seaweed, pickled ginger and ponzu sauce or steak tartare with aioli and toasted sourdough. Follow with a fresh sea dish of lemon-scented ocean trout with warm wild rice sushi, wakame salad and salmon pearls or tuck into the pan-fried spatchcock mignons with an avocado, artichoke, pine nut and cos heart salad. Lime pie with lime sorbet, and chocolate souffle with hot chocolate sauce are sure to complete any meal in sweet-tempered style. Then you need only sit back, pat your tummy and take in the salty air.
