With waterfront views, an incredible café culture and shopping beyond the big labels, Balmain knows how to do Sydney proud. On the outside it’s got that whole vintage charm thing going on, but inside there’s all the modern touches we’ve come to love.
Propped up against the Sydney Harbour foreshore in Balmain East, The Fenwick is one of a multipurpose venue bearing epic views from Barangaroo to Luna Park. This heritage boat store-turned-prime dining venue preaches all things classic and modern Australian on the food side of things.
