On the banks of the peaceful Coffs Creek is Shearwater Restaurant. Their seating area is open to the water and is perfect for a relaxing meal with family and friends. Open throughout the day, the menu changes depending on when you go, but the quality and focus on local produce stays the same. There are also options that cater for vegan and gluten-free diets. For breakfast, choose from a range of classic dishes, including smashed avocado, eggs benedict and the Shearwater breakfast, which comes with all the cooked brekky favourites. Lunch is a mixture of entrees, mains, pastas and salads, with the duck leg confit or sirloin with grilled prawns sounding particularly tasty. By dinner, the menu has changed again with the addition of pizzas and a few new gourmet meal choices.
