Dining out at the best cafes and bistros.
No, this isn't Byron Bay and that's the way the locals like it. Here the authentic Aussie beachside vibe is what makes this locale so special, with hidden gems for eating out. Here are a few suggestions to tempt your tastebuds the next time you dine out in Blueys Beach, Boomerang Beach, Elizabeth Beach and Coomba Bay.
Brunch Café, Coomba Park
This pop-up café is within Coomba Park Community Centre where volunteers serve fundraiser brunch on weekends. Get in early to order their famous big breakfast or the popular mega breakfast wrap stuffed with homemade hash brown, bacon, egg and all the goodies.
Drift Café, Blueys Beach
A busy café for breakfast classics and for lovers of burgers. Try the Firebird or Dirty Bird, both with southern fried chicken, or the zucchini and corn fritter taco. Hot tip: the baja fish taco laced with jalapenos and chipotle aioli.
Kembali Café, Blueys Beach
The tempting tastes of Indonesia here will have you thinking about your next Bali trip, especially the Indo brekkie bowl, gado gado salad or nasi goreng. Close your eyes and you’re back in Ubud.
Hueys at Blueys, Blueys Beach
Famous for pizzas named after Australian beaches, you’ll be tempted by their many gourmet options with fresh and tasty toppings. The Cellito is a best seller but leave room for the Nutella pizza topped with strawberries and cream for dessert.
Pacific Palms Recreation Club, Elizabeth Beach
Famous for great views, cold beers and great food, you can get all your bistro favourites to enjoy with your Wallis Lake views. Themed dinners each night will keep you coming back… especially Tuesday’s giant schnitty topper night.
And those fresh Wallis Lake oysters taste even better with those Wallis Lake views.
Palms Pavilion, Tiona
Apart from those award-winning meals for fabulous lakeside weddings, this venue offers regular themed Sundays with live music: winter curries or taco tasting plates are a favourite.
Sips at Mobys, Boomerang Beach
Located within the iconic Mobys Beachside Retreat, poolside brilliance is served here. Classics include the Booti Booti vegie burger and fish tacos but also try the chef’s tasty specials such as sticky pork ribs, Greek lamb cutlets or miso dashi arancini.
Tasty takeaways
Sometimes you just need the right food, quick and easy, to eat on the run or in the park: sandwiches, pies, fish & chips, pizza, or your favourite Asian cuisine. Here are some more great choices around Pacific Palms:
