Latitude 30

 

Latitude 30

The venue/location:

I stopped by Latitude 30 on my return journey from visiting Brisbane. This quaint little restaurant has a wonderful ocean-side view which fit's the primarily seafood menu quite well. Located in Coffs Harbour, the weather is suitable for outside seating most of the year. After eating you can take a rather nice walk up the cliff-side overlooking the ocean, which is absolutely gorgeous around sunset. Also there's an Ice Cream store nearby, so if you've still got some room left, it can be nice to have dessert whilst on an ocean-side walk. 


The food and drinks:

Overall I found it to be a little on the pricey side - however considering the view, I was okay with this fact. I ordered their crispy black pepper squid, as well as their Salmon Gravlax, each were roughly $18-22. I ordered a glass of White Wine also, a 2016 Riesling by Jim Barry Vineyards which paired rather nicely with the two dishes. Both of the dishes were presented quite ornately, and they each lived up to their presentation quality in how delicious they were. 




The Service:

Overall, I found the service to be a little less than expected, when asking my Waiter what on the menu is popular/what's best, he wasn't particularly helpful or insightful and seemed to be overall disgruntled. Not to mention when my glass of wine first arrived it had unfortunately had a good portion of the cork that fell into my glass, I tried to grab my waiter's attention however gave up after 10 minutes and went to the bar with my request instead, they were more than happy to replace the glass of wine and apologized for the mistake.  

My Final Thoughts:

This place is a wonderful spot to drop by if you're ever passing through Coffs Harbour, certainly made my journey far nicer having stopped somewhere else other than my usual routine of Fast Food for those 8+ Hour drives across Australia. The food was great, however the view was definitely the reason I will remember this place and potentially take others to. Overall 4/5 experience!

TC brothers- Pizza, Kebabs & HSP

On the 10th of April I visited TC brothers on Canterbury Road, the business is well known with its area for top of the line pizzas, kebabs and HSPs. As far as unbalanced diets go for university students mine ranks amongst the best, so immediately this sparked my interest. The businesses location is very easy to locate as it faces a very high traffic road which leads in and out of Bansktown whilst also connecting many other small suburbs. Upon entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted with  a friend face and a conversation sparked. The colloquialism of the staff was funny and it was clear that a sense of humor and commitment to customer satisfaction was important. The extensive menu covered all forms of meat, in styles such as pizzas, kebabs, HSPS and even offered alternative dietary options such as vegetarian. The prices ranged from as low as $8 for a basic HSP to $22 for a full sized family pizza (to which I naturally purchased...

Beachfront Bistro - Murramarang Beach

Recently I traveled roughly 4 hours south of Sydney to a quaint beach town, Durras. During this visit, there really weren't a lot of food options available, however our Airbnb hosts highly recommended the local Holiday Resort, in particular the Beachfront Bistro. We had eaten along the way so we really weren't overly hungry, but thought we'd stop in for a drink or two, and later we were tempted into a gorgeously presented dessert. The Location: Located on the beachfront of one of the most isolated and crystal clear beaches I've come across in Australia. I would say that the Restaurant's primary benefit is the gorgeous location it's situated in. The venue itself however may not be appealing to some due to it's rather integrated construction with the Hotel infrastructure. If you're looking for a place that truly feels like a "date" - this venue might not be ideal, as there were a fair few children who were staying with their parents for a c...
