"We had the best experience, from the moment we walked in the door. We hadn't made a booking but they found us a lovely table to take in the magnificent views. The flavour of each dish was amazing, just the right balance. We wish we could've tried more, but we're too full from the generous servings. Definitely our new 'go-to stop' after airport pick-ups!"

"Located at the Sans Souci Wharf, Rocky Point Road, Sans Souci, New South Wales, Australia Edit - I have been back with my family and it was beautiful. The food was once again delicious and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Look forward to visiting again. A stunning restaurant situated on the Georges River. The views are stunning of both Tom Ugly’s Bridge and Captain Cook Bridge . The restaurant is basically in the middle of the two bridges. The menu is lovely but quite small. The prices are reasonable for the location. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating and the restaurant is well designed allowing it to be wheelchair accessible . We stopped in for brunch so I just had chips which were delicious and a hot chocolate. Some other people in my group had a cake and they loved them. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs up!!"

"We had a fantastic experience at the Wharf Cafe! The view is absolutely wonderful, it's a very relaxing and nice location for a cafe. The food was quite nice too for a simple cafe - the toastie was one of the nicest we've had in a while, it's clear they use good ingredients! The bacon and egg roll was so so much nicer than ones I've had elsewhere, so now I'm going to crave it during all those times I can't come here! Staff were also all very very friendly and welcoming. Great spot - will definitely be back! There's also plenty of parking which was a relief too."

"Peaceful spot with a view, and food that hits the spot. Nothing fancy — just honest, tasty dishes and a beautiful waterside setting. Great place for a quiet break close to home. Loved the calm vibe and how everything felt relaxed and easy. Perfect for a slow morning or lunch with a view.”"

"Had a great time there, lunch sitting today. We took our little tinny out on the bay to fish but decided to have lunch when there wasn't much luck in fishing. We are certainly bad fishermen. First headed to St George boat club hoping to get a visitor docking but no success. All 3 available visitors berths were taken. We went to this lovely pavilion on the water and saw a nice protected docking available inside. Pulled up, asked a gentleman who is the charter's staff whether it's ok to dock for a quick bite and was told ok to do so. Me and my mate went in, the lovely young waiting lady sat us down at a table. Even though the place was fully packed for long weekend, our food came out quick. Good food, amazing staff members, everyone was having a great time. Wagu burger was awesome. Washed it down with 2 Asahi. 1 hr later after lunch, we went trolling the bay and tried our luck again as bad fishermen. This place made our day out on a boat. Thank you Bass n Flinders."

"Bass & Flinders Pavilion is a beautifully presented spot with standout food and service, set in a unique waterfront location. It’s clearly a place that aims for quality across the board. The coffee is well made, often with a touch of latte art, and tastes great. The only downside is the speed – it can take quite a while whether ordering for dine-in or takeout. Every dish we tried was excellent, with high quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation. It’s clear the kitchen puts care into both flavour and plating. Staff are a real highlight here – friendly, attentive, and exceptionally professional. The service feels a level above most restaurants in the area. The décor is stylish and carefully considered, creating a welcoming and polished atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that feels both relaxed and special. The location is hard to beat, floating on the water with lovely views. There’s a car park, playground, and waterfront walk right nearby, making it easy to combine a meal with other activities. Families are well catered for, with a kids menu and highchairs available. It’s a rare mix of refined dining that still feels accessible for parents with children. Overall, this is a place I’d happily return to for both casual meals and special occasions, though I’d allow extra time if planning to get coffee."

"Great location on the water at Sans Souci. The food was all very tasty and great selection. Only thing to make it better, would have loved to have all day breakfast, go in before 11:30am if you are looking for a breakfast dish."
