Given its refreshing modern Australian cuisine, weekly live music and idyllic setting right on Coffs Harbour Creek, it’s easy to see why tables at Shearwater Restaurant are so sought after. Stunning bushland views, especially from the deck, offer the perfect accompaniment to any occasion, whether it be a quick coffee or a lavish wedding reception. Like the restaurant, the food here is sophisticated without being fussy or pretentious; for lunch you might have Moroccan spiced barramundi fillet served with corn fritter and salad greens, and for dinner, maybe twice fried pork belly with a palm sugar glaze, beetroot jam and fragrant rice.
