about boilerhouse
Dine on the edge of Sydney's amazing Harbour. Enjoy fresh modern cuisine inspired by cultures that once visited Quarantine Station and prepared to perfection by Q Station's world class chef.
The boilerhouse Restaurant is open Tuesday evening through Sunday afternoon at 4pm, 11.30am to 11pm Tuesday through Friday, 8am to 11pm Saturdays and 8am to 4pm Sundays for guests and visitors to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a cup of coffee.
Start your dining experience with a drink in the engine house. Two giant boilers have been carefully restored and the walls are covered with enormous pipes and valves that once sent steam to the autoclaves and boiling water to the showers and the laundry.
Above the open plan kitchen, a mezzanine level offers a dining area complete with views of idyllic Quarantine Beach and captivating Sydney Harbour. Or venture outside and enjoy your meal in a serene atmosphere surrounded by mature trees while you look out onto one of the most magnificent views in Sydney.
From the restaurant walk onto Quarantine Beach and have a swim before or after your meal. While you enjoy wine and conversation your children can enjoy the beach.
