From the outset of chartering
our giant sailing catamarans on Sydney Harbour, we realized
the importance of producing interesting, quality food. We
follow this principle through with Ruffles Lodge. We certainly
have the location to give our guests a memorable experience
with 3 main dining areas each able to meet the mood of the
particular day. We both have a more than average interest
in food and as in the past, we are prepared to go to almost
any lengths to acquire the freshest and best produce. We have
built a wood fired oven into the dining gazebo in order to
introduce an extra range of tastes in breads, meats, vegetables
etc.
Dinner starts at 7pm when guests gather for pre-dinner drinks.
Dining at "Ruffles" is dinner party style unless
a more intimate setting is requested.
In making dining an important part of staying at "Ruffles",
we will from time to time, introduce guest chefs.
Beautiful wines are an important accompaniment to an enjoyable
meal. We contacted Peter Bourne, renowned Sydney wine expert,
and followed his advice in the establishment of our cellar,
which includes a selection of wines from Australia's larger
and boutique wineries.
