DETAILS
The building has been part of the landscape since 1856, in that time its been a watchmaker, grocery, haberdashery and since the 1970s. In its latest incarnation, The Balmain Bug is a welcoming restaurant, full of character with exposed beams, black & white marble floor and linen draped tables and blond wood chairs. Fine art Australia supply the decor on the walls, hanging an intriguing and engaging selection of nudes, outback sketches and dot paintings for sale by reknowned Australian artists Elizabeth Durack, Norman Lindsay and Indigenous artist Walangari, son of Albert Namatjira. Eyes twinkle and glasses tinkle at The Balmain Bug whilst deals are forged, hearts gel and families unite in this comfortably sophisticated and stylish venue. Cruising on one of the most beautiful harbours in the world is always a treat, and your evening will be made even more memorable should you choose to arrive by ferry or water taxi. The short 250m stroll from the ferry to the restaurant through the quiet, peaceful and gentrified neighbourhood will stimulate your appetite.
