Wild Harvest Seafood Restaurant
Located on the marina wharf with the freshest fish on the menu it’s easy to see why Wild Harvest has become a favourite with the Coffs Harbour locals.
 |
The fish is delivered fresh every day straight from the Fisherman’s Co-op boats to your plate – now it really doesn’t get mush fresher than that. Choose from snapper, flathead or dory or if you’re feeling indulgent then take my advice and go for the lobster … it’s absolutely delicious.
For the non seafood eaters there are many fish free alternatives that taste great.
Finish off with a mouth watering dessert on the balcony as you watch the ships roll out. No that’s what I call relaxing – no wonder the locals love it here!

The Crying Tiger
This popular Coffs Coast restaurant has been opened for 5 years and in that time it has become very popular with the locals.
 |
The cuisine here is Asian and based on the fact that it’s a packed house night after night, then to say that it’s delicious is an understatement.
In addition to the restaurant there is also a cooking school on site. So if you want to learn to make Thai dishes such as Thai Fish Cakes or Pad Thai then join the Basic Thai class.
 |
Or if you feel that you’re ready to stretch yourself a bit further, why not take up the Royal Thai cooking class with dishes such as green Pawpaw Salad and seafood jungle Curry on the menu.
If you don’t feel like cooking for yourself, you can enjoy the delicious food at The Crying Tiger, seven nights a week.
