Berowra Waters Inn - newly re-opened and re-appointed by Dietmar Sawyere (Level 41 in Sydney). Superb fine dining.

Waterview Restaurant - at the Berowra Waters Marina, western side - has a great seafood smorgasbord on Friday and Saturday nights (sometimes includes all the wine you can drink!)
The Bistro is open for fish and chips, great coffee, and weekend breakfasts - it is on the ground level below Waterview Restaurant.

Berowra Waters Garden House is on the opposite side of the river, right next to the car ferry. They have a mixture of Korean, Japanese and Australian a la carte menu.
