About Paddock & Vine

Paddock & Vine delivers European-style share plates and considered wines straight to Mona Vale, skipping the trip to Manly. The rhythm sits right between wine bar and relaxed dining room—welcoming enough for an arvo rosé outside, sharp enough for date night. Diners drop in post-swim for cocktails or settle in for dinner, where co-owner John works the floor with Scottish warmth and tableside bottle guidance. The kitchen turns out grilled scallops, halloumi with citrus honey and dukkah, and seafood linguini spiked with chilli, alongside an MS4 eye fillet paired with tahini broccolini.

  • Alfresco barrel perches: Perch outside at wine barrel tables for an arvo rosé with dogs welcome.
  • Late evening dining: Unlike surrounding spots, evening dinner reservations are accepted after 8:00 PM.
  • Bottles to take away: Tableside wine guidance from the owner, with retail bottles ready to take home.

  • Flexible Late-Evening Bookings

    Unlike many local Northern Beaches spots that wind down early, guests can book dinner and enjoy wine well into the late evening.

    you can still book later into the evening, after 8, which is a nice change from most places nearby.

Before you head over

Helpful guidance on reservations, alfresco seating, and beverages before visiting Paddock & Vine.

  • Book ahead, with late dinner slots available

    Tables fill quickly for evening dining, so reserving in advance is advised—though unlike many nearby spots, late dinner bookings are accommodated after 8:00 PM.

  • Opt for outdoor seating when bringing a dog

    If you are dining with a pet or seeking an afternoon drink in the breeze, request an outdoor spot with barrel tables and stools where dogs are welcome.

  • Check non-alcoholic options in advance

    Non-alcoholic and sugar-free options can be very limited, so check with your server upfront if you have specific soft-drink preferences.
