Dining OutSampling regional produce in a fantastic location is a large part of the holiday experience, and Fraser Coast is quickly gaining a reputation for admirable food and wonderful restaurants and cafes. Alfresco dining, ideally suited to the Fraser Coast’s temperate climate, is very popular, and Hervey Bay’s Esplanade and marina areas are home to a wide range of quality dining experiences, using the backdrop of the water to full effect. There are casual cafes, bustling restaurants, hotels, Irish pubs and takeaway outlets serving international cuisine, from Asian to Italian, and English to Indian. With seafood so succulent and plentiful all year round, including the renowned Hervey Bay scallops, it’s no surprise that fresh local fish and crustaceans feature heavily on the menus. Services clubs provide a variety of value-for-money meals — you can always be assured of a hearty steak, a delicious roast or a healthy salad. Fantastic dining experiences can be found right along the coastline, with Point Vernon, Burrum Heads, Toogoom and Woodgate Beach boasting some superb cafes and restaurants. Maryborough also boasts some exceptional dining outlets. Restaurants overlook the picturesque Mary River, coffee shops are popping up all over the city, and the historic Wharf Street precinct is now brimming with cafes and other dining options. |
