Rick Stein, who has the famous Seafood Restaurant in the Cornish fishing village of Padstow is bringing his recipes, and seafood knowledge to Mollymook to make use of the fabulous fish and shellfish to be found in the waters south of Sydney.
Bannisters, the hotel and much praised restaurant on the South Coast at Mollymook will feature many of the dishes that work so well over in Padstow but will also pay tribute to local ideas on the best ways with a fillet of flathead, a plate of pippies or platter of local oysters and prawns.
The menu will be almost entirely fish based though there will be a vegetarian and meat lover’s option every day. The wine list will concentrate on great fish wines but there will always be one or two dishes that would be well accompanied by a light fresh red like a Tasmanian Pinot.
You know you’re onto a good thing on a road trip when you hit a sign sporting a huge image of an azure-blue infinity pool surrounded by cushioned sunloungers. The tagline: you are one hour from Bannisters. Just the sort of encouragement you need to make your road trip to Mollymook (around three hours drive from Sydney) that much quicker. And here it is, a quick sixty minutes later, Bannisters. A ‘60s motel converted into a swanky resort and spa, known for its poolside pizza and cocktails. Our recommendation: the syrupy red fruity cocktail with muddled strawberries, cranberry juice and just a hint of mint.This cliff-top hideaway has a beautiful day spa with breathtaking views of the coral sea and the rolling surf on Narrawallee Beach from its cabana relaxation area. Cuddle up deep in the cushions of sea-grass wicker chair pod with a beach read in the cabana area to relax and reflect, while gazing out across the bay to the white sands of the South Coast beaches.
