Dunes Palm Beach - Palm Beach, NSW

The Dunes was a truly wonderful discovery. We were just wandering by and thought we’d check it out (somewhat reassured by the high rating on Google.. something we were delighted to find was well deserved).

The food is outstanding.. and the service is even better! (With a special shout out to Mason). I can highly recommend the Kingfish Sashimi, which was as good as any I have ever had.. and the Fish and Chips was also a show stopper!

I cannot recommend the Dunes highly enough if you are looking for a place to eat in Palm Beach/the Northern Beaches

We had a fantastic experience at Dunes Restaurant!

From the moment we booked over the phone, everything was smooth and pleasant.

Grace, who served us today, delivered five-star quality customer service. She was attentive, friendly, and kept checking on us to ensure we had everything we needed.

The meals were generous in portion and absolutely delicious. We are lucky to try their new menu today. It was definitely worth the drive to have lunch here.

Highly recommend!

Well, wasn’t this a delightful, delicious surprise, or perhaps this is just their normal standard…to be this outstanding for flavour, presentation, and great personal service. We ordered a variety of starters: scallops with a smoked butter, ridiculously tender with huge scallops swimming in an amazing drinkable butter sauce, then some huge lightly stuffed zucchini flowers with the most delicate batter, that was served with a beautiful pea mash, a perfect compliment, and the absolute knockout dish was the cgarred octopus in an amazing tomato infused chili oil, omg Yum! After devouring every bite of all of that, we then went onto our mains, the sticky beef rib and a serve of the lamb cutlets, which both absolutely delicious & cooked to perfection, along with some amazing sides, one of the best we’ve tried was the cucumber and goat cheese with mint, something out of this world! Forget about Aria, we’ve been there, we’ve done that…you need to make the little beautiful drive out here and make it a destination…its worth it. Some great personable staff and attention to detail, not to mention the fantastic wine list with some really awesome Australian wines included. Get to this place.. you’ll love it! Great atmosphere & great sound..still can talk & hear with groovy tunes in the background.

Delightful location and well presented restaurant, lush gardens and superb food. Service is amazing even when full and very busy. Highly recommend the half shell scallops with butter or roe. In fact, I was so close to cancelling my main and asking for 3 more serves of the scallops (no photographed). With this level of care for food and customers we were happy to order more and savour the experience.

We recently had our wedding at Dunes, and it was truly beyond perfect. From the stunning venue and beautiful setting to the incredible food, drinks, and top-tier service—every detail exceeded our expectations. The planning process was smooth, and communication with the event team was always clear and professional. On the day, the staff went above and beyond to ensure the bride, groom, and both sets of parents were always well looked after. We’ve had so many guests tell us how much they loved the food! We honestly can’t thank the Dunes team enough for making our day so special. Thank you!

The location is lovely. The food is okay. The service is the main reason for the 4 stars. Our server was trying to rush us to order. We are a group of families with toddlers and small children. The server didn't provide us with a kid menu initially. After receiving the order the server was trying to rush us to pay. We were told we needed to finish up at 3pm but at 2pm we were being rushed to pay. The servers need to be mindful that with a group booking for families we do need kid menus and can't be rushed to order everything all at once.

We had our wedding here recently.
Everything looked absolutely stunning, and the staff were all so lovely and attentive – we felt incredibly well taken care of from start to finish.
The whole process was seamless, and the event manager Tilly’s attention to detail made everything perfect. We’ve had such a wonderful experience, and it’s a day we’ll never forget. Thank you for making it all so special!
All the staff in the kitchen and on the floor were phenomenal! They were wonderful and we had so many guests mention how delicious the food was and wonderful the team were 🫶

BEST. WEDDING. VENUE. EVER.
I would scream this from the rooftop! Dunes really did go above and beyond for us, not just throughout the planning process by promptly responding to every single email, but with the set up, throughout the night, the pack down and even the following day. We were so thrilled with everything, and have had multiple guests tell us that it was the funnest wedding they have ever been to. Still in awe at the service and willingness to help us have our dream day - not to mention the delicious food!! You honestly can’t go wrong at this incredible venue, and we’re so so grateful to all the staff 🤍🤍🤍 already booking in our anniversary dinner - thank you so much again xxx
