East Coast Lounge

The verdict

For food that’s meant to be shared, you’d be mad to miss this restaurant in Mosman. Enjoy a charcuterie plate of truffle, pickled veggies and cured meats alongside the vista of Chowder Bay. Decked in nautical-style furnishings and whitewashed surfaces, there’s a local beer and wine list featuring champagne and a cheese board game stronger than Switzerland.

Grab your mates and bring them in for the ploughman's platter which serves a generous selection of glazed ham, sweet chutney and moreish olives. Line your stomachs with an order of pork sliders covered in creamy slaw and chipotle mayo packed on a sweet bun (maybe a sneaky beer too) and you, my friends, have the ultimate arvo of absolute relaxation by the sea!
