We’re having fun with our food and drinks menu, taking the classics we know and love and peppering in some Australian natives to bring it all home. With bold flavours, playful twists, killer cocktails, tap beer, and a curated wine list, Harry Gatos is the perfect spot to share a feast, have a few drinks, or just a good time after a paddle at Freshie Beach.Must-try dishes: Our prawn toast, drizzled with a wattle-seed & honey soy sauce, is a game-changer.

Nice relaxed vibe, friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend the brisket. Read a few negative reviews about the prices but they’re all available on the website and the serving sizes were generous so no complaints from us.

Managed to get a rez on Easter Weekend at the last minute. We had the tasting menu, along with the wine flight. It was all paired perfectly, and there were dishes my husband wouldn't normally eat, and he thought were outstanding.
