Short scenic drive out of Sydney. World class food - my best fish and chips ever!

we turned up here for lunch (not having booked) on over the new year weekend after a morning on the beach. we were pleasantly suprised that they were able to find us a table - the food was great - some lovely oysters, and a nice ( but small) kids menu. A lovely laid back atmosphere. we would definately go... More

We enjoy going down to Ripples as its a nice local restraunt. Good choice in the menu and it's BYO so saves on cost of wine. You don't have much of a view considering its at the beach! Just has cars parked in front of it. However we still like the location. Great spot to meet friends and chillax

Ripples@Whale Beach sits right on the beach and diners are embraced by the blue Pacific. The setting is intimate and charming and Ripples was the right place to celebrate Father's Day.

However, the best... More

Regrettably, this restaurant has nothing in common with the other ones in Sydney by the same name.

One could be in any suburban car parks. No need to drive for... More

Ridiculous policy of charging for tap water at the kiosk leaves a bad taste!

Food was really good, the Taste of the Sea starter was a real winner and with our main course, joy of joys, real home made tartar sause, no out of a bottle muck. Staff were just so friendly and helpful, a wonderful experience, would strongly recommend a trip and then after a lay on the beach in the shade of... More
