Woy Woy Fisherman's Wharf, Australia

January 2014

I didn't have high expectations of Woy Woy Fisherman's Wharf, so in some ways my expectations were exceeded (the food was fabulous and reasonably priced) in others they have some significant improvements to make (the service was poor, even for Australian standards and they didn't have a large number of items on their menu). So its up in the air whether I would recommend it or not. The food was great so if the other parts don't mater to you so much give it a go!

The Central Coast is set on the beaches north of Sydney, but not many spots actually have a water view.

Its got a relaxed beach house atmosphere and the guitar actually added to the atmosphere (wasn't too loud, just nice background music).

We ordered the seafood plate for two (below) times two and also added the ceviche.

 

WWFW Platter      $70 
A share platter of a mixed selection of hot and cold seafood from the menu

Snapper & scallop ceviche     $19.90 

Bells at Killcare, Australia

May 2013

 

 We've been to Bells for dinner about three times over the years but I've never blogged about it.

The food is fabulous, the service casual and the portions generous.

The a la carte menu is seasonal and Bells utilises the vegetable garden on their property as much as possible.

They bring a bowl of olives and bread to start, the bread keeps DH happy, and the olives keep me happy.

We started with the antipasto - cured and preserved meats

Preserved and cured meats - prosciutto, pancetta, sopressa served with pickled vegetables $28

For mains we both had the red meat, DH had the beef and I had the lamb, both were nicely cooked and delicious.

Grilled Cape Grim Beef $50

Roast Spring Lamb with Brussel Sprouts $48

To complement our mains we have the rocket and parmesan salad and the green beans.

Rocket and Parmesan salad $14 and Green Beans with Parsley and Garlic $14

Unfortunately there was no room for dessert, but there's always next time...
