7 dining experiences you can enjoy on Hamilton Island

Posted by Hamilton Island -  16 December 2016

Enjoy a South East Asian meal at Coca Chu  - Hamilton Island holiday packages

With sophisticated, award-winning restaurants, laid-back cafés and takeaway options, there are plenty of ways to enjoy eating and drinking on Hamilton Island.

1) Excite your tastebuds at coca chu

 

Inspired by hawker-style street food, diners can savour bold Asian flavours with a relaxed Australian feel when dining at coca chu. The fresh, fun and innovative menu is perfect for any guests looking to try something unique and tasty during their holiday.   
 
Our pick: Son In Law Eggs 
 


Founding Chef Adam Woodflied explains:

“This dish wins everyone over (even if they don’t like eggs – just ask my wife!) I can’t get enough of the sweet caramel sauce, the creaminess of the yolks and the final sourness from the green mango. However the best part of the dish is the Thai story behind it:
 
Back in the day before the daughter and her fiancé tied the knot, the fiancé had to prove himself to the mother in law by cooking. Now unfortunately he was useless at cooking and only capable of cooking an egg. So, he cooked an egg for her. He found some caramel sauce at the back of the stove and poured that over the egg to make it a little more special. To this day, this is why this dish is called the Son In Law Eggs”.
 
Such a beautiful story behind this wonderful dish and certainly one to order.

2) Enjoy a relaxed family meal at Manta Ray

 


Manta Ray is the perfect setting for the entire family to enjoy a relaxed and stress-free meal. Friendly service, a crowd-pleasing menu and tranquil views of the marina, all ensure a laid-back and pleasurable meal together, that your family will love.
 
Our pick:  Wagyu Beef Burger and Fries. 

3) Good time group dining at  Pizzeria and Gelato Bar

 

With 20 pizza options to select from, it’s a tough task to narrow it down to just one. However, if you’ve never had pumpkin on a pizza, it’s time to do yourself a favour and sample the Herbivore. Topped with roasted pumpkin, mozzarella, pesto base, grilled zucchini, feta, rocket, pine nuts and a balsamic glaze, this pizza never disappoints and delivers amazing flavour.  It is also incredibly filling, on the healthier side and most importantly a hit with young and old alike. If you do want to sample more then one topping going half/half is always a popular choice.

Also, keep room for a gelato afterwards as you'll want to try one of the daily creations.  

Our pick: The Herbivore Pizza. 

4) Sophisticated dining at Bommie Restaurant

 


Set in the luxurious surrounds of the Yacht Club, dining at this award-winning restaurant is truly a magnificent way to spend an evening, while on your getaway on Hamilton Island.  Let the team at Bommie surprise and delight you with their distinctive menu, impressive service and stunning views of the Whitsundays.

Our pick: The Chef's daily tasting menu with matching wine.
 


Enjoying the Chef's tasting menu enables guests to experience a wide range of tastes and flavours from a collection of dishes, which showcase locally sourced and seasonal produce. The presentation, service and atmosphere, all fuse together to create a truly memorable culinary journey, one you’ll never forget.

5) Long luxurious lunch at the Hamilton Island Golf Club

 

A short ferry ride whisks guests to Dent Island where the incredibly scenic Hamilton Island Golf Course Club House awaits them, not for a game of golf but for an incredible long lunch.
 
Our pick: Book in for the lunch special, which includes a two-course lunch, tour of the golf course via buggy and transfers on the ferry.
 


Part adventure and part culinary experience this lunch will have you joyfully entertained and delightfully feed.  After enjoying a two-course lunch guests are invited to take a golf buggy tour around the impressive greens of Dent Island. Getting the opportunity to see Dent Island’s unique vantage points makes this lunch a stand out experience.

6) Dinning like a local at Romano’s Restaurant


The pick of locals due to it’s friendly atmosphere, delicious seafood and authentic Italian flavors, Romano’s is the place to enjoy a wholesome and delicious meal while on Hamilton Island.
 
Our pick: Pappardelle di ragù di manzo  (Slow cooked beef cheek and tomato ragù)

If you’re going to dine like a local then you had better order the most popular dish on the menu. Made with freshly prepared pasta, coated in a rich ragu sauce of slow cooked beef and seasoned tomato, it’s easy to see why this dish is a standout on the menu.

7) Romancing your special someone at Beach Club Restaurant

 

Making a reservation for a dinner date for your special someone at Beach Club Resort is a fantastic way to share an intimate moment and cap off a romantic getaway to the island.
 
Our pick: The 5 course tasting menu.
(Limited tables, available daily. Reservations are essential).

 
With breathtaking views looking out to the Coral Sea, extraordinary service and an incredible tasting menu (including a comprehensive wine list) this dinning experience is perfect for anyone looking to spoil their loved one.
