Le Paradis Brasserie
Located just down the road from a number of luxurious resorts in Nelly Bay is the quaint French themed Le Paradis Brasserie. This restaurant is just a short walk from the ocean and serves up a range of delicious French cuisine to indulge in. Order a glass of champagne or exclusive French wine and pick something scrumptious off the menu while relaxing in the alfresco dining.
Start your meal off with a French staple – snails served with spinach and cherry tomatoes. For your main meal, try the beef bourguignon or creamy chicken and wild mushroom vol au vent for a dish straight out of Paris itself. Last but not least, you can’t leave Le Paradis Brasserie without ordering a profiterole. This delightful puff of pastry, custard and chocolate will make you want to come back again and again.
Where: 100/98 Sooning Street, Nelly Bay QLD 4819
R&R Bar and Restaurant
For a relaxed dinner in one of the most beautiful places on earth, stop into the R&R Bar and Restaurant located in the Picnic Bay Hotel. Visit the R&R Bar and Restaurant for a huge range of meals ranging from fresh seafood to traditional pub meals. You can sit back and relax with a crisp schooner of beer while overlooking the pier, or take a seat inside by the large tropical fish tank to view some of the local wildlife without having to go diving.
At the R&R Bar and Restaurant you can bite into a juicy burger or steak sandwich for dinner or opt for a luxurious seafood platter. If you love seafood but would prefer it in a meal, choose the bug and prawn spaghetti for a flavoursome dish. You won’t be disappointed by the incredible beach views you’ll get when you visit this restaurant and afterwards you can retreat to the bar for a few drinks and a game of pool.
Where: Esplanade, Picnic Bay QLD 4819
