With its views of millionaires’ yachts, it’s easy to imagine you’re one of the city’s elite as you dine on stracciatella with shaved pear and hazelnuts or grilled Fremantle octopus. For the same top-shelf vistas but something more low-key, head downstairs for a coffee and bacon and egg roll at the tucked-away Tide Café. regattarosebay.com

> BATHERS’ PAVILION. Newly reopened, with fresh interiors that blend coastal blue and whites, Bathers’ is one of those shimmering Sydney experiences everyone must have once, whether it’s for fish and chips from the bistro, champagne and a half dozen oysters at the terrace bar or just grabbing an ice block from the kiosk. In the evenings, you may see owner (something of a local legend) Serge Dansereau mingling with guests enjoying his bouillabaisse or steak tartare on the main restaurant floor. batherspavilion.com.au
> THE NEWPORT. This family- and dog-friendly venue on the Pittwater is something of a Northern Beaches institution. Stop by for a coffee and baked treat in the morning or tuck into wood-fired pizzas and fresh seafood at lunch – everyone will leave happy. On weekends, there are special activities for kids and you can enjoy live music and sundowners on the deck. merivale.com/venues/thenewport

> THE COLLAROY. The quintessential beachfront bar, restaurant and pub rolled into one, The Collaroy, in the Northern Beaches suburb of the same name, is a dream spot to grab a beer and a pizza on a lazy afternoon after a day on the sand. Health-conscious locals love the all-day fresh salad bowls and non-alcoholic Seedlip cocktails. merivale.com/venues/thecollaroy
