  • Seared Scallops

    It's hard to choose a favourite dish but I think if I had to pick it would be the scallops, I loved the salami crumble on top

    Regrettably, I didn’t take photos of the seafood platter because I was stuffing my face.

Before you head over

Practical advice for planning your visit and event dining at Sydney International Regatta Centre

  • Coordinate Evening Exit and Rideshares

    Plan rideshares or taxi pickups in advance, as parkland gates to the regatta precinct lock later in the evening and can complicate transport departures.

  • Mention Dietary Requirements in Advance

    Notify staff when reserving for strict dietary requirements or allergies; the kitchen readily customizes dishes to accommodate specific food restrictions.

  • Check Regatta Centre Event Schedules

    Check the regatta event schedule prior to visiting for casual weekend breakfast or coffee, as major water sports events can impact precinct access and wait times.
