If I were forced to name my top 10 restaurants in the world, Sean’s Panaroma would certainly be included in the list. I’ve been a fan of Seans for more years than I’d like to admit now and it’s still one of the best places to enjoy a long boozy lunch.

The vibe is beachy and casual as are the views, but the food is always world class – in a very rustic unassuming way. It’s the type of food that is screaming with flavour and the joy that comes from fresh, top knotch produce being treated simply and with respect.

loved

the engaging, chatty staff
the relaxing, unpretentious vibe & decor
the broad bean crostini
the truffles from milthorpe – fabulous to see such an enormous, chunk being shaved at the table
the super crispy chicken with celeriac remoulade salad – perfect tasty birds
the parsnip pudding – unusual to see the veg at dessert but a welcome change
the relaxing pace of the meal
being able to BYO
