Cottage Point Inn, one of the Northern Beaches’ premier fine dining establishments, has appointed Ehren Ryan as Head Chef as they drive forward with plans to refresh their menus and continue to make the restaurant the best dining experience in the region.
Ehren is a Northern Beaches local, having lived in Dee Why and gone to school at St Luke’s Grammar. However, Ehren is all city after that, having trained under Matt Moran at Sydney iconic fine dining restaurant Aria, and then in the small but highly regarded Alchemy 731 in Mosman under Derek Baker. Ehren then travelled the world for more than 5 years building his repertoire and honing his skills with some of the greatest chefs on the globe. This includes working in London with Pierre Gagnaire at his Mayfair London establishment “The Lecture Room” and at the extraordinarily popular “Dinner with Heston Blumenthal” in central London. Ehren continued his Michelin Star experiences in Jersey, working under Mark Jordan at the Atlantic hotel and worked in Austria and Canada.
Cottage Point Inn Restaurant, set on the water at the junction of Cowan Waters and Coal & Candle Creek, was originally the Cottage Point boatshed and general store. An early 1950’s photo set above the mantelpiece shows how it used to be. The building was converted to a restaurant in the 1970s and has been operating since.
Our philosophy is to provide an honest, modern Australian style food served in a professional, welcoming atmosphere. Complementing the menu are wines chosen for their excellence from wine growing regions predominantly in Australia & New Zealand.
The restaurant is open all year around and we take reservations during the following hours:
Lunch (Seven days): Noon to 3.00pm
Dinner (Friday to Sunday): 6.30pm to 9.00pm.
