Restaurants in Port Macquarie

  1. A

    Fusion 7

    Chef Lindsey Schwab worked with the father of fusion cuisine, Peter Gordon, in London but returned to Port to be closer to his family. Despite this pedigree and the restaurant's name, the food is more Mod Oz than fusion. Desserts are particularly delicious.

    Splash

    The verandah view across Town Green to the water provides the perfect setting for a treat-yourself dinner. Seafood is the chef’s special talent, from the simple (grilled dory and chips) to the exceptional (king prawns and goats-cheese gnocchi). Lunch set menus ($20) are a cheaper option.

    Rainforest Café

    You may be surrounded by lush foliage but don't expect bush tucker; the talented and gregarious chef is as French as they come. The focus is on healthy sandwiches, salads and pasta constructed from quality ingredients.

    Beach House

    Take in the water views from the sea of seats outside and launch into a lavish prawn and mango platter, satay skewers or a wrap. Stick around for beer and a burger, oysters and wine or a gourmet pizza for dinner.

    Café 66

    This agreeable, unreconstructed Italian eatery has good coffee and reasonably priced pasta, risotto and grills. Book ahead on Tuesday nights when half of Port tries to squeeze in for two-for-one pasta.

    Corner

    This trendy eatery a block or two away from the town centre is bright, airy and open with plenty of pavement for sitting outside. Specialities include hearty gourmet salads, big enough to eat as mains.

    Mike’s Seafood

    We love the slogan – ‘It’s all good!’ And it is. This great little takeaway specialises in paper parcels of fishy goodness. After 4.30pm on Tuesday it’s ‘buy one, get another for a buck’ night.

    Cedro

    On a sunny day you can sit on the street between the palm trees, order the generous house breakfast, sip a good coffee and plan your next move: the beach, or another coffee stop?

    Stunned Mullet

    Australian idiom lesson: to look like a stunned mullet is to wear an expression of bewilderment. It's exactly the sort of look you might adopt while struggling to choose between the delicious Mod Oz menu items and extensive wine-list offerings at Port's best restaurant.

    Milkbar Town Beach

    Another casually chic cafe on the ground floor of a modern apartment block (this time the Observatory), Milkbar is known for its homemade icy poles, Single Origin coffee and surfer clientele.

    Corner Restaurant Cafe

    On the ground floor of the Macquarie Waters Boutique Apartment Hotel (www.mwaters.com.au), this sleek operation has a definite Sydney-ish sheen and good cafe fare that could hold its own in Surry Hills (and that's a real compliment).

    Commanding lovely views over the Hastings River, this recently opened tapas and wine bar is just a castanet click away from Town Wharf. Locals love it.
