The Poyers
The Poyer's
A seafood restaurant run by a French chef and his wife on a small working wharf at Lemon Tree Passage, with fish landed by boats moored alongside.
Located on the working wharf at Cook Parade in Lemon Tree Passage, with views across to Port Stephens. Run by French chef Ludovic Poyer and his wife Mandy, the restaurant serves classic French cooking with plenty of daily specials, and its seafood comes from trawlers moored alongside. Highlights include crumbed abalone, chilli crab linguine made with local blue swimmer crab, lobster ravioli and lemon curd tart, while the wine list focuses on Australian wines such as those from the Hunter Valley. The chef often comes out to chat with guests and can cater for dietary needs such as gluten intolerance. Around AUD 80–120 per person. Booking is recommended, and it is about a 30-minute drive from Nelson Bay.
