With the Parramatta River on one side and Brays Bay on the other, 1606 Luis de Torres café couldn’t be in a better location, particularly for those that enjoy a walk along the water’s edge before their meal. Inside, guests are greeted with a modern interior of rustic wooden tables, shelves hanging from thick rope and a menu that’s draped from a mast complete with a folded sail. It all stems from a nautical theme, based off the café’s namesake who first discovered the straight between New Guinea and Australia. Visitors enjoy selections from an all day menu featuring classic favourites like bacon and mushroom carbonara, alongside hearty choices like the bread crumbed prawn burger. An afternoon high tea loaded with semifreddo, finger sandwiches and indulgent sweets are also a big hit.
