You wouldn't guess it from the outside, but Highfield Caringbah is one of the most picturesque locations for a sunset drink in The Shire. It houses four venues all up — including a public house, a pizza shop and a sports bar — but our pick of the bunch is a seat up on The Botanical rooftop. The openair space lets in natural light while greenery weaves around the exposed beams, framing views of the city skyline. To top it all off, there's an extensive cocktail list and a seasonal menu to boot.
On the menu there's something for everyone — from the barbecue wagyu beef skewers served with sesame flatbread and kimchi cucumber salad ($37) to the coconut pumpkin curry with chickpeas, kale and raita ($24).
