This Sunday, 7 September, fathers across North Sydney will be treated to something special as local dining establishments prepare their finest offerings for Father’s Day. Two standout venues in the area are pulling out all the stops to ensure dads enjoy a memorable meal.
The Greens: Texas BBQ Meets Harbour Views
The Greens, the transformed former North Sydney Bowling Club that now serves as a unique eatery, bar, café, garden and bowling green with spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, is embracing the American South for Father’s Day with their Texas BBQ special.
The venue’s Father’s Day spread features a hearty selection of slow-cooked brisket, spiced chorizo, mac ‘n’ cheese bites, BBQ corn, and all the traditional accompaniments served on a single sharing platter. This approach allows families to gather around the table and enjoy a feast designed specifically with dad’s preferences in mind.
The restaurant’s outdoor courtyard offers the perfect vantage point for enjoying the surrounding scenery while sipping on a refreshing beverage, making it an ideal setting for a relaxed Father’s Day celebration with the family.
Soluna: Italian Comfort with LA Flair
Soluna, the LA-inspired all-day diner in the vibrant heartbeat of Sydney’s lower North Shore, serves Italian-inspired fare in a relaxed, modern setting, and they’re opening their doors for both lunch and dinner on Father’s Day.
The restaurant specialises in hand-tossed pizzas from their wood-fired oven, house-made pasta crafted with care, and celebrates Italian artistry with their salumi station. For Father’s Day, dads can expect the full range of Soluna’s comfort-food offerings, from hearty bisteccas to their signature wood-fired pizzas.
According to the restaurant’s promotional material, they’re serving up “North Sydney’s best wood-fired pizza and house-made pasta – plus proper sized bisteccas and schnitzels” which they expect “will be a hit with the Dads”.
Soluna is part of North Sydney’s new Walker Street precinct, developed by Etymon Projects and led by chef Rhys Connell, formerly of Sepia, The Gantry and Melbourne’s Society.
Planning Ahead
Both venues are part of North Sydney’s evolving dining landscape, offering families in the local community quality options without having to venture far from home. Whether dads prefer the smoky flavours of American BBQ or the rustic charm of Italian cuisine, North Sydney’s dining scene is ensuring this Father’s Day will be one to remember.
For those planning to dine out this Sunday, booking ahead is recommended as Father’s Day typically sees high demand at local restaurants.
