Aqua, Milson's Point

I was one very spoilt foodie on my birthday.  My boyfriend Peter took me to Aqua, Milson's Point as a surprise!


Perched above the open swimming pool next to Luna Park is a classic, modern and inviting restaurant. It’s the pool that you see whilst on the train as it begins to make its way over the Harbour Bridge. The restaurant just sits above it capturing one of the most amazing views in the world.

The food is modern Australian with perhaps an Italian twist.  I had the Veal Involtini filled with provola cheese, pesto, gnocchi Romano and asparagus.  The gnocchi Romano absolutely made the dish, very delicate and full of flavour. Peter had a King Island Beef Tenderloin, perfectly cooked – I’ll be having that next time!


Dessert. What can I say? Have you ever seen a mille feuille with mango sorbet instead of custard? The Aqua Mille Feuille was delicious with a layer of mango sorbet amongst layers of pastry infused with coconut crème.


Peter on the other hand chose something even more decadent, a chocolate plate with a milk chocolate mocha brulée, a dark chocolate fondant, and a white chocolate mousse with grand marnier jelly. Too much? Never.

Aqua’s address is Northcliff St, Milson’s Point.
