Dining at The Sundays

Let breakfast, lunch and dinner blur into one.

At The Sundays, dining is about more than just food—it’s about long, sun-drenched meals, shared plates that bring people together, and moments that unfold just as they should. Whether it’s a poolside aperitif or a laidback lunch that stretches into the afternoon, every meal is designed to celebrate the best Australian ingredients and the joy of connection.

Whether it’s a slow afternoon that turns into dinner or a table full of favourites shared with friends, Catseye Pool Club is all about time well spent—with good food, great company, and views worth lingering over.

Meet Josh and Julie Niland

Josh and Julie Niland are the acclaimed duo behind Catseye Pool Club, bringing their signature style of relaxed, elevated cooking to the Whitsundays. Inspired by the Sunday meals they love to share with family, their menu is designed for connection—seasonal, Australian, and made to be enjoyed together. While Josh is celebrated for revolutionising modern fish cookery, the menu goes beyond seafood, highlighting the best local ingredients from land and sea in a setting that invites long, sun-drenched lunches.

Josh and Julie are also the team behind Sydney’s acclaimed Saint Peter, Fish Butchery and The Saint Peter Hotel. Josh’s award-winning books, The Whole Fish Cook Book, Take One Fish and Fish Butchery, have earned international recognition, including the prestigious James Beard Book of the Year. He is the only Australian on the board of the Basque Culinary Centre and has received honours including The Best Chef Innovation Award and La Liste’s Game Changer Award.

"The vision behind The Sundays reflects so much of what I value – bringing people together to create memories in beautiful surroundings. We're proud to introduce a dining experience that feels connected to the island and its incredible natural environment."
