SYDNEY - Balmoral Beach - The Bathers' Pavilion

Driving across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in my Lamborghini with the top down 

SYDNEY - Balmoral Beach - Located in North Sydney in the Mosman area, Balmoral beach is a beautiful, quaint and pretty quiet beach if you want a relaxing getaway from the bustling busy Sydney City. Unlike other crowded beaches, Balmoral beach is tucked away from tourists and allow one to take relaxing strolls along the beach and just simply lie on the sand and enjoy the sounds of the crashing  waves. They even have a special area at the Rotunda for weddings to take place. It is a beach that is positioned to allow visitors to enjoy views of Sydney Harbour National Park and the gateway to Sydney Harbour.

SYDNEY - The Bathers' Pavilion - Situated on one end of Balmoral beach, this restaurant serves delicious and impeccable cuisine to match the stunning view of the waters. The menu changes with the season and prides itself only to serve the freshest produce bought from small Australian producers.

Managed by Owner / Executive Chef Serge Dansereau and Cameron Johnston,  The Bathers' Pavilion   has eclectic lunch and dinner menus with strong focus on fresh produce to create French cuisine with a twist. On the other side of the restaurant is the cafe where visitors can enjoy snacks or simply a delicious coffee at more affordable prices. Their breakfast menu is sumptuous and worth the calories! I enjoy their delicious hot chocolate drink the most especially on a cold windy day by the beach. Overall, the restaurant and its sister cafe adds to Balmoral's beach beauty and definitely worth a visit! A lovely place to enjoy a meal or drinks with breath-taking water views :)

Burnt Orange Cafe - Mosman, Sydney

Burnt Orange Cafe - I stumbled upon this lovely cafe while taking my car out for a drive around Mosman area. It is located in a quaint and rather secluded forest area with beautiful views of the Sydney Harbour. It is approximately 30 minutes drive from Sydney's CBD. There is ample ticket parking available and it is a lovely short 5 minutes walk through the bushes to walk from the carpark to the cafe.

It was interesting to spot an old bicycle which greeted us at the entrance of the sandstone mansion. The interiors were also interesting decorated with lovely wooden tables, pink and white wooden chairs and lovely flower vases on each table. We chose a table at the inner edge of the cafe to enjoy the lovely water views of Mosman Bay, Manley and the Sydney Harbour.

The cafe prides itself with using the highest quality and freshest ingredients to make their food. They make their own bread and scones daily as well as jams, marmalade and chutneys. We ordered the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon as well as the Banana Cake to share. The food and coffee looked pretty simple but tasted amazingly delicious. It was a wonderful morning well spent in this cozy cafe tucked away from the city.

After indulging in our breakfast, we visited their retail store that sold eclectic items that included books, children's toys, jewelry, men and women's clothings, housewares and gifts etc. As the Easter holidays are coming up, they were selling many delicious handmade chocolates too!

Burnt Orange cafe is usually fully booked so do make a reservation at their website to avoid disappointment at http://www.burntorange.com.au/ or call 9969-1120. Their full address is 1108/1109 Middle Head Road, Mosman, Sydney, NSW 2088. Opening hours are 830am-530pm daily.
