Extraordinary food, extraordinary location. Osteria Coogee, gazing out amongst the calls of seabirds while dining on truly magnificent delights where each bite unlocked a new spark of imagination amongst the diner. Truly an experience, not just a meal. Lovely chef's checking on us on every phase to make sure we did not leave without every desire fulfilled. Truly would recommend - elegance at every bite.
