Griddle Restaurant

At Berowra Waters Marina on Sydney’s North Shore, Griddle Restaurant brings a relaxed, Modern Australian sensibility to the table. The interior is set for lingering: soft, comfortable and unhurried, the kind of room where a glass from the extensive wine list pairs as naturally with conversation as it does with a perfectly seared steak. Dishes are meticulously prepared, desserts are worth saving room for, and the welcome is easy-going.

From the grill come the heroes: grain-fed rump cooked to order and wagyu rump, all about deep, flame-kissed flavour. Pork ribs arrive char-grilled and basted in BBQ sauce, with golden chips for good measure. Among the signatures, Chicken Surf crowns a grilled breast with prawns and béarnaise, while a slow-braised lamb shank yields to the fork, surrounded by mash and a glossy red wine sauce.

There is comfort in the classics, too, from a velvety pumpkin soup with sour cream and warm bread to lightly spiced chicken wings with a cooling mayonnaise. Pasta takes a coastal turn with seafood linguini in a bright Napolitana, or goes creamy with carbonara folded through linguini, chicken, mushroom and bacon in white wine.

Whether it is a long lunch, an easy dinner or a special function with a tailored set menu, Griddle Restaurant invites guests to unwind by the marina and savour the moment. Book in, bring an appetite, and get your grill thrill.
