Redcliffe Food and Dining
Fresh sea air and the friendly holiday atmosphere of Redcliffe are guaranteed to give you a healthy appetite. And the Peninsula has no shortage of excellent places to eat. Here's a list of restaurants, cafes and eateries that I've personally tried and can recommend:

Oasis Cafe - This is my personal favourite! Situated at 163 Redcliffe Parade, opposite the jetty, Oasis Cafe features an imaginative menu that won't break your bank balance. Try the Gourmet Salad for a light summer treat. Open 7 days. Phone: (07) 3285 1677.

Zorba's Gourmet Pizza, Pasta and Gelati - Their menu says: "Simply the Best" and if pizzas are your thing, then you will probably agree after reading the mouthwatering descriptions. For starters, try the BTO bread - absolutely delicious! Coffee is by Merlos. Located at 139 Margate Parade, Zorba's has uninterrupted views across the beach and water. Opens early for Sunday breakfast. Phone: (07) 3283 7000.

La Tea Da - If you're after something a bit more sophisticated, why not try this little establishment tucked away in the Jetty Arcade? The first establishment on the Peninsula to offer High Tea.

Hummingbird Lane - High Tea, beautiful gifts and trinkets and sweeping views of Moreton Bay. What more could you ask for? Redcliffe Esplanade, Redcliffe.

Ebony and Ivory - Upmarket cafe, not cheap but nice atmosphere and good views across the bay.

Honey Pot Takeaway - This small fish 'n chip shop has been in the same location for decades. Standard takeaway fare, but it is conveniently located above Settlement Cove Lagoon at the southern end of the Redcliffe shopping strip.

Redcliffe Jetty Cafe - Another eatery that's been around for a long time. The place to go if you've got a crowd to feed. Fish and chips, hamburgers, drinks and ice-creams. You know where it is by the name, of course.

KC's Seafood on the Beach - Located on Margate Parade, at the corner of Robertson Road, KC's features a good menu of seafood, light snacks, coffee and cakes. The protected outside dining area suits sunshine or rain and the Margate Beach Promenade is just across the road.

The Anchorage - A coffee and collectables shop rolled into one. Redcliffe Esplanade, Redcliffe.

Morgan's Seafood - Morgan's is located at Scarborough Boat Harbour at the northern tip of the Peninsula. Fresh seafood and sushi.

Red Dolphin Seafood - Cheap, cheerful and clean. This is a classic fish 'n chip shop located at the southern end of Margate Parade.

Woody's Seafood Takeaway and Coffee Shop - Located opposite the Belvedere Hotel, near the Woody Point Jetty.

Moreton Bay Bite - 99a Redcliffe Parade. One of the newest eateries along the Redcliffe shopping strip.

The Golden Ox - Oxley Avenue, Margate. For a special evening of fine dining, this is the place. Perfect for weddings, parties, anything.

Jandals - Australians wear thongs, New Zealanders wear Jandals. Drop into this beachfront cafe for a coffee and a bite to eat. Hornibrook Esplanade, Clontarf.
