WHILE its tranquil location sets the scene, providing a charming background, it is the food that it is the star of the show at Lugarno Seafood Restaurant.
With its ceiling to floor windows giving an uninterrupted view of the Georges River, it is one of Sydney’s long-time favourite dining establishments – perfect for a winter’s afternoon or evening.
It includes lovely fresh seafood, cooked to perfection, from individual dishes and whole lobster mornay with seasonal green vegetables, to hot and cold seafood platters for two. The same attention is given to the steak and chicken dishes, while the salads and side dishes are the perfect addition.
The entrees and desserts complement the main dishes and prove a worthy support cast, while the wine list is comprehensive and there is a nice choice of liqueurs, cognac and port.
This restaurant’s simple yet undeniably refined formula is basic – market fresh local seafood delivered daily, served by professional but personable staff and a menu that celebrates the owners’ Greek heritage and the best of Australian seafood in equal measure, this restaurant is hard to go past.
It’s all about beautiful, fresh seafood with minimal interference, allowing the food to speak for itself while taking in the beautiful riverside view.
“The fresh seasonal food is matched by uncompromising service,” a spokesperson said.
The hours stretch harmoniously from 12pm straight through till 10pm Monday-Saturday and 12pm-9pm on Sundays, allowing for their famous late lunches and dinners as you gaze at the body of water named after lake ‘Lugano’ in Switzerland, but those whom have set their eyes on the mesmerising Georges River know there is no comparison to the gem of the south.
Next time you want to take someone out for lunch or dinner, you need look no further than the restaurant by the river.
