Jonah’s Restaurant Sydney

Jonah’s Restaurant sits at 69 Bynya Rd, a ten-minute walk from the sand at Palm Beach. The space holds one hat from the Australian Good Food Guide and an Excellence Award from Wine Spectator.

The kitchen focuses on contemporary seafood, but the wine program is the primary reason to make the trip north. While other coastal venues rely on the shoreline to mask an uninspired cellar, this room carries a regional win from The World’s Best Wine List Awards. The dining room runs smart and elegant, leaning into the formality that the proximity to the Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse walk often lacks. Choose this for the list rather than the proximity to the water; it is a serious cellar that happens to overlook the Pacific.
