Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay

Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay Information

The Boathouse is one of Australia’s leading restaurants, with an international reputation for showcasing the finest Australian seafoods.

Tony Papas and Robert Smallbone established The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay in 1997 after being inspired by wonderful Paris brasseries like Terminus Nord, where the seafood is delivered to tables in pristine condition and with great theatre.

Both in the kitchen and on the restaurant floor our team strives to give you a professional yet relaxed dining experience, encouraging you to share and enjoy the unique produce that we have sourced from our exclusive suppliers.

Located in an historic converted boathouse at Blackwattle Bay, Sydney Harbour, the décor is classic modern Australian. Wooden floors, crisp white linen, solid white china and a fantastic kitchen like the galley of an ocean liner, designed specifically to handle the best seafood and produce at its peak.

We have been awarded a number of Chef’s Hats from the renowned Sydney Morning Herald ‘Good Food Guide’ and in 2002 Saveur Magazine nominated The Boathouse in its Saveur 100 list of the best dining experiences around the globe.
