Looking for a hole-in-one for your social life? The Mona Social elevates the 19th-hole experience with style.
For those who cherish the Northern Beach’s way of life, there’s a fresh destination waiting to be explored. The Boathouse Group has unveiled their latest offering, The Mona Social, perched picturesquely above the Mona Vale Golf Course. The Mona Social isn’t just a restaurant; it aspires to be a vibrant social hub, boasting stunning vistas, delicious food, and a relaxed ambience.
The space effortlessly blends the relaxed sophistication of a Boathouse venue with the warmth and charm of a country club. Think beautiful interiors adorned with inviting timber tones and lush greenery, all perfectly complemented by the breathtaking panorama of Mona Vale Beach.
“The location and outlook simply took our breath away,” says Antony Jones, CEO of The Boathouse Group. “We’re delighted to provide a space for both locals and visitors to enjoy socializing with friends and family over a drink or a meal.”
The Mona Social caters to diverse preferences, offering both a dedicated a la carte bistro and a casual bar area. The bistro menu, overseen by The Boathouse Group’s culinary mastermind Mark LaBrooy and Head Chef Cameron Johnston (formerly of Bathers Pavilion and Peterman), promises a delightful reimagining of classic dishes.
For a lighter option, start with the zesty venison tartare or perhaps a tantalising skewer of ox tongue. Seafood aficionados will be spoilt for choice with chargrilled prawns and steamed mussels prominently displayed on the menu. Craving a heartier meal? The red wine braised beef cheek with Jerusalem artichoke chips or the crispy skin chicken are sure to tempt your palate. And to complete your culinary journey, there are classic desserts like creme caramel, a tangy lemon tart, or a decadent hot fudge sundae.
The bar menu caters to those seeking a casual bite. The signature Mona Social club sandwich and a classic cheeseburger are sure to please, while those looking for a more adventurous option can explore the anchovy crumpet or the eel and pork terrine.
Drinks are designed for leisurely afternoons and evenings. The cocktail list offers classics like the mojito alongside unique creations such as the “Caddy Issues” (a playful mix of cosmopolitan and sea breeze) or the “On the Green” with kiwifruit, gin, and Japanese melon. The wine list showcases up-and-coming Australian winemakers alongside established regions, with Chablis and German Riesling perfect for savouring alongside your meal.
And for those who appreciate a good beer, there’s a dedicated tap selection featuring a special collaboration with 4 Pines called “The Swingers Lager.” Scotch whisky lovers will also find a curated selection to enjoy.
Forget the crowded tourist hotspots. The Mona Social offers a chance to unwind amidst stylish surroundings, indulge in delicious food and drinks, and soak up the stunning beach views. So next time you’re in the area, consider taking a detour beyond your usual beach joints.
