Overview

Dine on the edge of Sydney's amazing Harbour. Enjoy fresh modern cuisine inspired by cultures that once visited the former Quarantine Station and prepared to perfection by Q Station's world class chef.

The Boilerhouse Restaurant is open Tuesday - Sunday for guests and visitors to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a cup of coffee.

The mezzanine level allows you to overlook an open plan kitchen and watch the busy chefs at work or venture outside and enjoy your meal with views of idyllic of Quarantine Beach and the captivating Sydney Harbour.

From the restaurant walk onto Quarantine Beach and, if your wish, have a swim before or after your meal.

While you enjoy wine and conversation your children can enjoy the beach.

All of Q Station's experiences can be combined with a meal at Boilerhouse – why not try a night at the Theatre to see Q Station’s show Defiance followed by dinner or join one of our many tours & interactive experiences?

I thought it would be more than just an old shed. Echo's, reverberations, terrible acoustics. Place gave me a head ache. Not much of a water view.

Amazing! I loved the views, food and everything about it, so much fun to catch a water taxi there and sit outside on the harbour.

Best value for the view, food and service. Safe choice of menu, nothing mind blowing but simple and tasty, service is spot on casual, Manly-style. Views are the best on a sunny day. Good find for Manly.

Food is good, more cafe style, but quite pricey. Nice wine. Too bad there is not a better view from the restaurant. Staff friendly and attentive.

We made the mistake of assuming this was a fine dining venue, which for Saturday lunch, it definitely is not. We sat outside, a large paved area adjacent to the Boilerhouse building. Being next to the water was great: trying to enjoy our meals while overweight men in speedos and loud children used the restaurant as a thoroughfare was not. It seemed the only way for the general public to access the small beach the Boilerhouse is located at, was right past out table and was quite off-putting. There were only two other tables occupied so were surprised when the dish three out of four of us wanted was not available. And once we got over the surprise of the "upmarket kiosk" feel (as opposed to flash restaurant as suggested on the website), I guess it seemed appropriate to have hot dogs on the menu!

Nevertheless, it was a nice afternoon to enjoy bread, mains, some desserts and wine for four people for $160. If we weren't expecting a more polished eating experience, it would have been great. Perhaps a good place to take friends from out of town, as you can visit the museum afterwards and walk out on the jetty. Probably not the location for a fancy lunch though.

We went there for lunch and sat out on sun deck with views over the harbour. It was very peaceful and seconds away from the beach. Our table ordered sirloin, veal cheek risotto, Lamb and broadbill with sides, all were very good. We also had the desserts, lemon and lime tart and chocolate and pear pudding which were good. Can explore immediate vicinity around restaurant and also there is a museum too.
