Waterfront dining at Foys Kirribilli

Foys Kirribilli offers the best of casual harbourside dining on the Lower North Shore. If you are looking for a Kirribilli restaurant with the water at your feet, this is dining Kirribilli style: a Sydney waterfront restaurant inside Australia's oldest open boat sailing club, where the view takes in Careening Cove, the moored fleet and the working boatshed below.

The restaurant and bar are the main support of the sailing club. Every meal and every drink helps keep eleven historic 18-footers on Sydney Harbour, which is a better story than most venues can put on a menu.

On summer Saturdays the historic 18-footers are rigged on the lawn of Milsons Park next door before racing, and the deck fills for the after-race presentations. It is the best free spectacle in Kirribilli.

Members receive a discount at the bar and restaurant, and every price is on display for everyone. The gap between the public price and the member price is the argument for joining, so the club shows it rather than hiding it.
