'Eating Out' - Coffs Coast

By Mel Symons - "Coffs has great beaches, great parks, and great accommodation. And the food scene is the same – it’s great! This area is emerging as a real foodie’s paradise and we’re here to check out 2 of the most popular spots in town.

Saltwater on the Beach has sensational food, stunning views and excellent service. Idyllically located, with unrestricted ocean views along Emerald Beach and out to Groper Island, Saltwater Café & Restaurant is just a 15 minute drive north of Coffs Harbour. Enjoy a scrumptious breakfast al-fresco on the terrace (and watch the whales), a leisurely lunch, relaxed dining in the evening, or just call in for a coffee. Saltwater is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The style of food is Modern Australian, with some dishes enhanced by the subtle flavors of Asia and also the Middle East. And desserts are a specialty, so leave plenty of room! Saltwater uses the best local fresh produce and seafood, and whenever available they use organic products. The menu changes seasonally, with plenty of specials daily for extra choice. Some of the dishes you may find on the menu:
