Looking For An Absolute Gem Of A Sydney Restaurant?

Jonah’s really is one of those special treasures. First established in 1929, they have hosted some very famous guests, including Vivien Leigh, Joan Collins, and Sir Anthony Hopkins, to name a few.

The restaurant overlooks magnificent Whale Beach, and serves Contemporary Australian cuisine and boasts a cellar containing 1,100 bottles of wine.

Jonah’s has a lunch and dinner à la carte menu, a terrace menu, and a bar menu, so you will be well taken care of no matter where you are on the premises.

The dinner menu offers the option of three courses, with paired wines. Diners can choose from the squid ink linguine or the basil risotto for entrée, the Murray Cod or the Wagyu beef for main course, and the Coffee Cream or Yellow Apple for dessert, just to name a few.

This hidden gem boasts countless awards, including several Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide One Chef’s Hat Awards.

If you’re really in the mood to splurge book a Jonah’s Experience where you can choose from a seaplane ride or a massage.

This quaint little kiosk is one of the oldest on Cottage Point. It is the perfect spot to sit and while away an afternoon by the beautiful Cowan River.

If you’re in for breakfast, go for the Eggs Benedict or the Big Breakfast. For lunch, grab a burger or some fish and chips, and enjoy the tranquil bush views from the outdoor dining deck.

If you’re after something a bit more exotic, Cottage Point Kiosk makes two signature dishes – the Aussie Black Mussels with chili and garlic (seriously yum), and the Fish Curry.

To quench your thirst, choose from teas, coffees, milkshakes and fresh squeezed juice.

Afterwards, why not walk it all off in the Kuring-gai Chase National Park? Then you can grab a few essentials at Cottage Point’s General Store on the way home.

The Waterfront Café and General Store building used to house the local post office. Today, it is a bustling hub where visitors can enjoy live music in the café, or head to the wine bar for some liquid refreshment.

The breakfast and lunch/dinner menu at the Waterfront showcases local produce from the nearby farmers markets. The Deck menu offers antipasti for starters (try the mouth-watering eggplant rolls) and some divine mains with a strong seafood vibe.

Diners can also order some fresh in-house pasta dishes like the crab meat risotto, or choose from a good list of salads. They have a kids menu too, with all the usual faves like pizza and spaghetti.

And you couldn’t ask for a better drinks list. The frozen Classic Waterfront Margarita sounds perfect for a hot summer’s night.

There is also a general store on the premises that sells everything from booze and fresh flowers to homewares and groceries for the nearby yachts and residents of Scotland Island.
