Foys Kirribilli
Adam Marshall, formerly of the Bird and Bear in Elizabeth Bay, gave the 124-year-old Sydney Flying Squadron sailing club a facelift. The site is now home to Foys Kirribilli restaurant and the Flying Bear cafe.
The two eateries are split over two levels, both with waterfront views and open-air seating. Foys (named after the clubs’ founder, Mark Foy), is upstairs. It is Nordic-minimalist, with clean white lines and a selection of the club’s memorabilia on display.
The menu emphasises quality produce and invigorates dishes such as the lime-, cumin- and tequila-cured Tasmanian salmon (cured in-house) with crème fraiche and slivers of sourdough. There are share plates of whole-roasted lemon sole; slow-roasted lamb shoulder; and cheese boards with house-made condiments, such as the fig jam or the apple and garlic puree.
Classics include fish and chips and chicken schnitzel, and the banoffee dessert – a star on the menu, with textured banana bits, toffee paste and unsweetened cream.
We do not seek or accept payment from the cafes, restaurants, bars and shops listed in the Directory – inclusion is at our discretion. Venue profiles are written by independent freelancers paid by Broadsheet.
