About Benny's Cronulla

Perched over Gunnamatta Bay, Benny’s turns coastal dining into an easy evening ritual. The breezy deck catches golden-hour light filtering through the trees, setting a relaxed tempo for dates and Shire group catch-ups. Start by tearing into warm rosemary and sea salt focaccia alongside seasoned corn ribs. The kitchen knows its craft with cuts of steak—whether ordering the grass-fed Tasmanian sirloin or classic steak frites paired with a glass of red. Plates move swiftly thanks to an engaged floor team, leaving room for the house doughnut finished with salted caramel ice cream and butterscotch.

  • Bayside Balcony Views: Tables on the open balcony look straight across the trees toward Gunnamatta Bay, timed naturally for the sunset breeze.
  • Signature Cuts and Sweets: Standout plates span seasoned corn ribs, seared Tasmanian sirloin, and a warm house doughnut drenched in butterscotch sauce.
