Barrenjoey House Palm Beach
Just across the road from Palm Beach's wharf and the stunning Pittwater Reserve sits Barrenjoey House. Operating as a guest house since 1923, the large cream building looks casual and homely, calling to the hungry day trippers as they step off the ferry. However, you'd better wipe the sand off your feet and put your shoes on, or at least your thongs, before stepping in here. This is much, much more than your average seaside kiosk. The menu offers modern Australian cuisine with a focus on quality fresh produce. Try the red snapper on mint and pea risotto with garlic mayonnaise, and then sweeten up with the popular steamed banana pudding with caramel sauce. Full? Just relax and enjoy. Barrenjoey House finds the perfect balance between holiday carelessness and beachside glamour.
