    We LOVE Doyle’s. It was one of the first places we visited after moving to Sydney (on the advice of a taxi driver. We have been back multiple times and have taken out-of-town mates regularly.

    No better venue for a special meal in Sydney. Food is excellent but nowhere has a better setting for water views with Sydney in the distance. Easy to get there on the Ferry! Absolutely love dining at Doyle’s.

    We had a beautiful water view and the hot and cold seafood platter was delicious. They were very accommodating to provide gluten free options instead of the deep fried food on the platter, for my gluten intolerant partner. And we were given the choice of two salads rather than hot chips with our platter, which was very much appreciated. The only thing we did not love was the liqueur soaked strawberry dessert that tasted like plain strawberries, however the pancetta was delicious.

    We had a table literally 2 feet from the sand. The view was fabulous. We shared the seafood platter, swapped chips for rocket, pear & parmesan salad. Fed both of us perfectly. Everything was fresh and tasty. A quick ferry trip from Circular Quay to Warsons Bay was a great way to experience the sights. We loved it ❤️
