About Catalina
Set on the waterfront in Rose Bay, Catalina on Lyne Park is an Australian culinary icon. Owned and operated for more than 30 years by the McMahon family, this Sydney restaurant has built a reputation for its effortless luxury and uniquely Australian approach to dining. With sweeping views of the harbour, this is a destination synonymous with chic coastal style where every table has a stunning view; settle in with an entrée of soy marinated Ora King salmon, nori, wasabi mayonnaise, yuzu, cucumber, edamame, sesame seed, salmon rousong. For the main, delve into rock lobster risotto with cuttlefish, cherry tomato, soffritto, bottarga crumb and chilli oil; or roasted suckling pig, apple and pear chutney, wholegrain mustard jus, finish with grapefruit marmalade meringue and guava jelly.
