Now Open: Eddy's Is the New Casual Italian Eatery Elevating Your Post-Swim Feeds in Balmoral

A friendly new neighbourhood eatery has just popped up in Balmoral for the warmer months. Eddy's is the Bathers' Pavilion team's new Italian-style restaurant that's making itself at home on the corner of Awaba Street and The Esplanade from October till January.

Your spring and summer dips at Edwards Beach have just been taken up a notch for the next four months, with this pop-up venue offering dine-in breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a hefty takeaway menu. Expect an ever-changing culinary range, with highlights popping up throughout the day like ricotta hotcakes for breakfast, fried calamari for lunch, and spaghetti aglio e olio or chicken schnitzel for dinner.

Co-owner and Managing Director of Bathers' Pavilion Jess Shirvington has taken over the sunlit site, jumping at an opportunity to give Balmoral residents an Italian-inspired hangout spot right on the beachfront — even if only for a few months.

"We wanted to create a fun new local go-to for the whole family to enjoy over the warmer months," says Shirvington. "It's a little bit enoteca-meets-milk bar, a little bit aperitivo-meets-sandy feet and wet bums."

Leading the kitchen is Head Chef Dan Webb who joined the Bathers' Pavilion team during its recent L'Enclume residency. Webb has pulled together a menu of crowd-pleasing eats with the help of Bathers' Bistro Executive Chef Perry Hill.

"We look forward to taking excellent care of all our Balmoral locals and beachgoers, from those who would like to sit down for a three-course meal to stopping by for a snack and glass of wine for aperitivo, and those who are just looking for a gelato to cool down or a slice of pizza on the run," says Webb.

The drinks list includes wines starting from $10 a glass, Italian spritzes, and a summer-ready cocktail list featuring bellinis, bloody marys, negronis and tommy's margaritas.

Eddy's will begin by opening for breakfast, lunch and dinner Wednesday–Sunday throughout October and November, before changing to seven days a week from December until the end of January.

Eddy's is located at 2 Awaba Street, Mosman. Head to the restaurant's website for more information.
