About Summer Salt Restaurant

Uninterrupted ocean panoramas meet refined coastal dining perched directly above the Cronulla surf. Midweek diners bring their favourite cellar vintage thanks to weekday BYO, settling in beside wide glass overlooking the breaks. Regulars head straight for the hot and cold shared seafood platter, loaded with fresh prawns and market catches, before easing into crisp barramundi, confit duck, or rich mushroom ragu. The floor staff practice quiet old-school hospitality—pulling out chairs, talking through the daily courses, and timing desserts like lemon tiramisu right as the sun dips below the horizon.

  • Weekday BYO Option: Diners can uncork their own bottles over weekday lunch or dinner alongside seasonal multi-course menus.
  • Panoramic Coastal Setting: Uninterrupted outlook perched right above the beach, with views stretching across the surf and breaks.
  • Shared Seafood Platters: Generous hot and cold communal platters piled high with fresh ocean catches, prawns, and seasonal sides.

  • Abundant Hot & Cold Seafood Platters

    Generous hot and cold communal seafood platters deliver a lavish feast featuring fresh ocean flavours.

    The seafood platter was absolutely incredible—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. It was one of the best seafood meals we’ve had.

  • Uninterrupted Panoramic Beachfront Views

    Floor-to-ceiling vistas look directly over Cronulla beach, allowing diners to watch the waves and sunset over the water throughout their meal.

    Coming at 3pm in winter and staying until sunset over the ocean was the best timing. The food was great without hesitating.
