PONTE BAR AND DINING

Ponte is a modern waterfront function centre in Nowra set alongside the southern bank of the stunning Shoalhaven River. With vast water views from all tables, Ponte boasts an enclosed balcony, an atmospheric dining room, and a bar/lounge area seating up to 120 guests.

We are thrilled to announce that Ponte Bar & Dining has officially transformed into a dedicated Wedding & Function Centre, providing an exclusive venue for your special events.

Our restaurant has moved to a new location at Worrigee Ex-Servos, where we’ve taken over The Growers and are now proudly trading as “The Growers by Ponte.”

Rest assured, all valid Ponte Gift Vouchers will be honored at our new venue. We can’t wait to welcome you to The Growers by Ponte, and we deeply appreciate your continued love and support.

The Story of

Our VENUE

Sharon and Thiago Menezes moved back to Sharon’s hometown of Nowra in 2020 after running a wine bar on the North Shore of Sydney for seven years. Ponte Bar and Dining is their new adventure…

We Believe

Food Is Important

Food is everything to us.
And that’s why we designed our menu to be shared. We want to encourage our customers to try something new and enjoy the conversations that flow when food is passed around between family and friends.

Love Us

"My first visit which certainly won’t be my last. Absolutely loved it. Interesting menu and everything met our expectations. Friendly staff, good service, fairly priced and yummy. What more could we want."

"Food was delicious and beautifully presented. The chef here is outstanding. We enjoyed the service given by the young woman looking after our table. She was courteous and friendly and had a genuine warmth which made us feel welcome."

"Always reliably good food and friendly service. Love the special events at Ponte, like the "Archie Roach" Gin tasting night - something we really look forward to. One of the best places for casual dining in the Shoalhaven!"

"We have some wonderful places to eat in our local area, and we now have a new one to add to the list. Exceptional food, excellent team, and special location. These guys have been through a tough year and delivered. Well done."
