Overview
What do Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart and Justin Bieber have in common? Apart from a propensity for unappealing hairdos, that is? They've all made a rest stop at Jonah's a mandatory part of their Australian touring schedule.
Some might say it's the jaw-dropping, panoramic Pacific views. Others would point to the luxurious Relais & Chateaux Ocean Retreat rooms. Others still are likely to suggest the favoured mode of arrival: a spectacular 20-minute seaplane ride from Sydney Harbour. But the locals know the truth. After all, they've been flocking to Jonah's since 1928, when it was no more than a roadhouse. Back then, luxury accommodation and an array of Good Food hat-worthy culinary creations weren't on offer.
One chef however, had a very special secret: an unbeatable recipe for panna cotta. It wasn't long before locals were arriving in droves to try it out — for a second, third or twentieth time. Eighty-four years later, it is back on the menu for Priceless Sydney, and it's still a favourite — in these five-star days it's served with chargrilled quince, mandarin sorbet and pink pepper tuile. Local business Palm Beach Collection has even collaborated with Jonah's on a hand-poured, eco-friendly candle featuring the lush aromas of the Northern Beaches' most famous dessert.
The big news is that both products are currently being given away via MasterCard's Priceless Sydney program. Any MasterCard cardholder who orders two or more courses at Jonah's will receive not only a complimentary signature dessert but also a free Palm Beach Collection candle. All you have to do is pay with your MasterCard card and mention the Priceless Sydney offer.
