Catalina is an iconic harbourside restaurant, family owned and operated since 1994. It is a light airy modern space with wonderful views, floor to ceiling glass, and outdoor balcony seating. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired and features sustainable seafood from the best producers Australia-wide, and grass fed and free range meat and poultry. The wine list is one of the best wine lists in Australia, featuring over 800 wines, and receiving a 3 Goblet rating every year in the Wine List of the Year Awards. The service is welcoming, friendly, informal and yet, professional. An ideal venue for all occasions: from everyday dining, to business lunches, to celebrations, to wedding receptions and events. We look forward to seeing you soon.

    Possibly my favourite Sydney Restaurant. Food, service and views are all world class! If you’re visiting Sydney, do not miss Catalina for lunch.

    Lovely restaurant with a good name that trades on its stunning location on Rose Bay. Very slick and professional, BUT! It advertises a fixed price lunch menu at $150, and for that sort of money I really think the vegetables should be included. They are not, so if you order vegetables for two people you’re in for about an additional $60. I would call that at best misleading and certainly disingenuous. Not really sure how they get away with it. For me it’s a rip off.
