Sunshine, salmon and Semillon on the water
Our seafood delicacies are the heart of our new summer menu at Sydney Seaplanes Lounge, and there's no better way to introduce you to what's on offer than our succulent salmon main.
This dish is all about exceptional produce. Picture a delicate fillet of pan-seared with a delicious miso velouté, braised fennel and salmon roe. Buttery and soft enough to melt in your mouth, this new summer feature dish is best paired with a citrus-infused Hunter Semillon from our w**e list.
If that's not enough to get your fingers clicking BOOK NOW, just imagine settling in for lunch alongside magnificent Sydney Harbour, with the sun shining over the water, Rose Bay lapping at your feet and taxiing by in the distance.

Dress for the Cup. Leave in a seaplane.
This Cup Day at Sydney Seaplanes Lounge, the best-dressed gent and the best fascinator or hat each win a bottle of ch*****ne and a 15-minute scenic seaplane flight over Sydney Harbour.
That's the Bridge, the Opera House and the Heads from the air, all because you committed to the hat.
So dig out the three-piece. Dust off the fascinator you swore you'd wear again one day. Go bold, go classic, go slightly unhinged. The judges appreciate effort.
Lunch on the water from 12pm to 5pm, with Taittinger and canapés on arrival, a three-course shared banquet, the race live on screen and sweeps before the 3pm start.
$145pp. Limited Seating

Breakfast on the Water, Rose Bay Style
There’s no better spot for a relaxed breakfast by the water than Sydney Seaplanes Lounge Rose Bay. We might be a little biased, but we think it’s genuinely one of the best ways to start a weekend in Sydney.
Today’s fav breakfast delight is our salmon pastrami bagel. Cream cheese, capers, a good handful of house dill and a coffee, juice or fresh iced matcha on the side. ��Come for the food and the water views and make the whole morning of it.
If breakfast on the water isn't already part of your weekend, it should be.
