Catalina

Seaplanes make dramatic landings right in front of this restaurant, a modern glass-and-steel space on the eastern harbor foreshore in Rose Bay. (Rose Bay was the original site of Australia’s first international airport, where Qantas’s PBY Catalina-class flying boats landed during the 1930’s.) Order the fresh-shucked Sydney rock oysters and the seared tuna loin with chorizo, soft fried quail’s egg, baby beans, and salsa verde.
