The Boathouse Bar & Restaurant

$$
With views of moored yachts and tropical gardens, there’s a real vacation vibe to this eatery. There are espresso coffees available at breakfast and espresso martinis at night, with live bands playing on the weekend as rowdy tables pop champagne bottles. The menu is heavy on seafood with the seared squid salad as a superior starter. For main, the fish of the day is always a winner. Or for meat lovers, the glazed pork belly with fennel and cabbage slaw is delicious. There are also classic Aussie desserts, like pavlova with fresh fruits, but really, this is the place to enjoy a few cocktails into the night instead.

The Corner

$$

By day, this is a stylish, contemporary café that packs in the crowds, thanks to its fabulously tasty meals. By night, it turns into a sophisticated bistro. Try the Corner Breakfast, which has everything from eggs the way you like them to ham hock--braised beans. Return for lunch or dinner and enjoy Wagyu beef steak or ricotta gnocchi. As the name suggests, it sits on a corner and is part of the Macquarie Waters Hotel & Apartments complex.
