The doors of Sails on Lavender Bay opened in 2008 following a stunning reinvention with the McMahon's Point waterfront restaurant taking on a sophisticated and contemporary new look courtesy of renowned designers SJB Interiors.

The restaurant is perched on the shore of Sydney's magnificent harbour, Sails on Lavender Bay, with its post card views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, is a perfect venue for those wanting to experience the quintessential beauty of the city.

The menu is original and extensive - reflecting the seasons and freshness of the local produce. The new menu offers what owner Greg Anderson describes as 'refined modern Australian with a selection of seafood entrees such as roasted scallops, fennel puree, roasted black olives, and preserved lemons and freshly shucked rock oysters.

Choices on the main menu include suckling pig slow roasted with cracked wheat and apricot puree, seared ocean trout with sorrel puree, mushrooms and the aromatic Middle Eastern eggplant dish called Imam Bayaldi with cumin and spiced yoghurt. On the dessert menu there is a brulee with pistachio chocolate sorbet and watermelon jelly with pomegranate, basil and ginger beer sorbet.

Anderson has appointed chef Steven Skelly to run the kitchen. Skelly has impressive seafood credentials having worked with some of Australia's top chefs including Greg Doyle, Tony Bilson and Peter Evans. The beverage list at Sails on Lavender Bay is designed to be quirky yet accessible and selected to accompany the food offering as well as accommodate current trends. We aim to introduce new varieties, styles and producers across a range of price points and develop a truly international offering as well as featuring home grown Australian talent.

To help our guests with navigating the wines, the list has been split into varietal categories which run from lightest in style to fullest. There is also a wide selection of aperitifs, liquors and digestives to facilitate the dinning experience.

Having been awarded a 'One Glass' rating in the 2009 Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine Awards, Sails on Lavender Bay has been recognised as having a wine offering that ranks in the top 30% of the country.
