There are many ways you can enjoy this popular beachside favourite - inside,at a street-side table,on the terrace,under the pavilion,or in a leather armchair with the full tablecloth treatment. When it comes to all-day dining,Barrenjoey House has all the bases cleverly,casually and classily covered. Start with a handsome array of scallops touched with the crunch of breadcrumbs,the richness cut by ribbons of fennel and flat-leaf parsley;or perhaps a tasting plate of San Daniele ham,chunky,smoky babaghanoush and dense hummus. Fish of the day might be roasted Cone Bay barramundi,its flesh a tad soft,but nicely paired with a sweet and tangy slew of Sicilian eggplant stewed with tomatoes,celery,sultanas and pine nuts. Neat nubbins of smoked duck,sweetcorn and peas make for a pleasantly different risotto. Three scoops of superb Glace ice-cream may well prompt a snooze on the beach opposite,or in your room upstairs,if you're staying over.
