Freshwater Restaurants

There’s no other place like “Bather’s”, where you can sit and watch the people walking by on the promenade, gaze at the ocean and eat wonderful food served by efficient staff. It’s been a favourite restaurant over the many years and holds many wonderful memories.

The restaurant seats by date of booking and order of seating preference. So be sure to let them know if you want to be on the balcony (outside) or inside as this will determine whether you are in the direct sun or not depending upon your dining time. We did not know this and they were kind enough to accommodate us to be out of the sun. The food was excellent as was service. It seems expensive for a small sourdough loaf ($12) - we get bread included for free at home, 3 prawns ($32) and fish & chips ($56) hence my "good value" rating only. However, food is expensive in Sydney, the portion size was not skimpy and the quality of the fish was high. So it was worth it and we'd go back again.

After having breakfast here a few times we wanted to return for dinner. Great experience! A focussed menu and every dish delivered. My chicken supreme was super tasty (loved the creamy mushroom too). The folks working there were kind and friendly (including letting us move inside n when the gentle breeze became gale force). Many thanks!

This is definitely worth a try our first visit it’s still a pretty new venue but I can see it’s going to be a winner the food is outstanding atmosphere and location is great the staffing numbers could be higher but I suspect the walkins drove the staff busyness as the restaurant was jampacked! We will be pack this is a new manly gem!!

Great food, friendly service ,a please would recommend
