Comments on: Fort Denison Restaurant, Sydney Harbour http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/05/21/fort-denison-restaurant-sydney-harbour/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

After reading your review, I decided that I HAD to go to Fort Denison asap! So I went there for lunch yesterday, and if the view wasn't breathtaking enough, the food was also delicious! It was such a beautiful afternoon out! Thanks for your review! I'll be blogging about my experience soon :) Oh, p.s. we ordered pretty much the same stuff you ordered. lol. Hi Lorraine!

Hi Steph-Yes I didn't know either so we were lucky we booked for 1pm. Yep it's just too crazy on Mother's Day and the weather turned out to be perfect. Definitely, I want to make one too! :D Hi shez-The food is great and so well priced, especially since it doesn't have to be! :lol: Hi Kathryn-Yes I can definitely see this as a lovely wedding or special occasion venue! :) Hi Anita-Yes it's lamb shanks and oven on weather isn't it :D Hi Betty-Yes it's stunning isn't it! That's why I couldn't live anywhere else. Except errm maybe New York :lol: What a great choice. If I had known when we planned our wedding we would have gotten married here! Hi Arwen-Last year's Fathers Day dinner was a disaster and we wanted to avoid that :lol: Yes I was really glad about that as so many places with views don't have food to match. Yes isn't that funny! Hi Big M-Haha perhaps! Here's hoping! Hi Howard-We couldn't have dreamt better weather and not a single cloud in the sky too. Haha yes I'd love to go there for NYE for $2000 for the two of us is a little high! Hi Sophia-It was just stunning! I still; dream about that mezze plate and that Turkish bread... :P Hi Mike -Yes isn't it just the perfect place to take an overseas visitor and the prices are great :) Hi Belle-Yes sad but true isn't it! It always ends up being a drama. Surprisingly it wasn't busy at all for a beautiful Saturday day with about 4 tables full? We did book although I think you could just call them on the day and see if you can get a table once you know the weather will be good :) Hi Susan-Ah cool! We were wondering about that! Good to know that it is a great experience! Perhaps one day! :D Hi Forager-Yes we were very relieved! :) I didn't realise that until I saw the Enliven card and hey a free main is never a bad thing :lol: Hi ArtemisIII-Thanks, I can't believe he captured it! :D Definitely try and convince the other half to come to Sydney :D Hi Simon-It is a real find I have to say! Hi Alexandra-She was really happy and she loved her present and her shortbread buttons too! :) Hi Yasmin-Yes I think once you take time away from Sydney and you come back you realise howi much you've missed it. I felt the same when I lived in Japan for 2 years. Hehe that is very true! Hi foodie-central-Wonderful-you're welcome! I'd love to know what you think of it! :) Hi grace-Hehe they looked like they'd run out of time :lol: Yes soft meat is good meat *drools* Hi SydneyGal-Yes I didn't either! But I think it's been there for a while. I would reserve just in case it is busy but it wasn't incredibly busy or anything like that. You could probably decide on the day or the day before! Hi Bethie-Wonderful! It's such a nice afternoon and way to see Sydney :D I can imagine, I bet Virginia is an amazing place! :D It was really good-it's no often that my husband has no complaints :lol: Hi Yas-Thankyou! This was my first time there and I grew up here :lol: Thanks, it went well, I think because we did it the day before :lol: Hi Ida-Thankyou and hello to you in Sweden! :D Hi Jackie-They were really good-I love it when they fall of the bone like that :D Hi Blond Duck-Hehe thanks! Hi Cakelaw-Do you ever get to Sydney? Hehe yes the lamb shank was definitely better than the fish & chips ;) Hi 5 Star Foodie-Oh cool! Glad to hear that Sydney put on some spectacular weather for you :D Yes do come back, it changes all the time! Hi Brianna-I think she did. What a great present-spa vouchers are fab :) I bought her a Jigsaw evening wrap and some L'Occitane face cream as well as the shortbread buttons :) Hi Audrey-Ah cool, thanks for the recommendation! :) It’s not far away too!
