The Doyle Family have been serving fresh local seafood for over five generations, and have built their name on the produce their fishermen catch. They still use old fashioned methods; the fish caught mostly by hand line and iced on the boat. With three locations across the country, this long-standing family restaurant is certainly one of the best in the area of Watsons Bay. Right on the water where the fish have been caught that very morning, you can enjoy a sumptuous menu of fresh seafood and fish.

Beautifully positioned around its stunning harbour at centre stage, Sydney is a fantastic multicultural hub buzzing with life. Sightseeing, shopping, eating, drinking and entertainment are all things Sydney does well, delivering a unique combination of cultures at each turn.
You can explore this eclectic city at your leisure; you may want to tick some top sights off your list and visit the famous sail-like Sydney Opera House or make your way down to the huge Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port which are both buzzing with harbourfront restaurants and bars. Nearby, you’ll also find the arched Harbour Bridge and the Royal Botanic Garden.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can head up to Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, which offers incredible 360-degree views of the city and suburbs. However, there is no denying that many people go on a Sydney getaway for the beaches but can’t resist staying for the culture and food!

Mr. Wong does Cantonese-style food in a larger than life way. Seating 240 people over two levels and serving up a selection of up to 80 dishes, it’s a big affair. Yet somehow the restaurant still manages to feel intimate, with nooks for two, dim lighting and moody jazz. At the helm is executive chef Dan Hong, who brings his energy and creative flair to the kitchen. Barbecue ducks are a crowd favourite (they have a whole room dedicated to them), as is their lunchtime dim sum menu by Michael Luo. With such an extensive menu and wine list to match, arrive prepared to make some tough choices.
