Nothing says Sydney summer like a long, liquid lunch by the water.
From tomorrow, following a $12 million transformation, Georges River Sailing Club will unveil Porta Dining, a waterfront Mediterranean-inspired restaurant pairing its bayside location with a new cocktail partnership with Maybe Sammy, one of the world’s most awarded bars.
So Sydney's southern suburbs get waterfront dining, world-class cocktails and a relaxed, coastal atmosphere.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the bay, while a balcony invites guests to unwind over spritzes and share plates as the sun sets, I’m told.
Led by executive head chef Harry Finch, the menu celebrates fresh local produce through dishes designed for sharing.
Think grilled meats, fresh seafood and colourful vegetable dishes with Mediterranean accents.
Small plates will include citrus-cured salmon crudo, pickled mussels, whipped salted cod and golden saganaki, while mains will feature grilled beef cuts with café de Paris butter, slow roasted lamb shoulder with tzatziki and, crispy skin Daintree saltwater barramundi.
For vegetarians and Vegans there are charred sugar loaf cabbage, cauliflower fioretto with romesco, Greek salad and heirloom tomato with stracciatella and feta, ricotta and kale spanakopita.
“Porta is about connection through good food, good drinks and good company,” says Finch.
“We’ve created a menu that celebrates coastal dining. It’s approachable, full of flavour and designed for sharing - just like any great meal by the water should be.
"It’s a summer experience that’s hard to beat anywhere in Sydney.”
Maybe Sammy's drinks menu will offer refreshing spritzes, twists on classics and signature creations especially for Porta Dining.
