Come discover what makes Bundaberg the best spot for your next brunch date...

1. The Best Produce Makes the Best Brunch

Spoiled by a region that grows, nurtures and produces everything you could imagine, cafes and restaurants are spoilt for choice when it comes to adorning their menus with fresh, locally-grown produce and reef-to-river catches. The year-round availability of a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables makes for an interesting and ever-changing foodie scene with chefs not afraid to experiment.

Try: The Windmill Café Bargara's 'Breakfast Bowl' with locally-grown baby tomatoes, homemade macadamia pesto using local macadamia's, served on sourdough. Why not add Barritt's Butchery's award-winning bacon as well? As the largest growing region of the nations native macadamia nut, stop into The Orchard Table at Macadamias Australia Visitor Experience and try their range of delicious macadamias and locally sourced menu. From macadamia rolls to sweet potatoe wedges, there's something for everyone to try.

 

2. Tantalising Locations 

From the décor, to the accommodating chefs, to the location, to the friendly staff, you'll always feel at home in a café in Bundaberg. Enjoy peaceful family-friendly garden settings metres from the beach, an intimate indulgent dining experience, and a chat with the hospitable locals who run and work at the cafes.

Try: Start your morning admiring Bargara's pristine coastline at The Beach Mill and have a chat with the friendly staff and locals that frequent this slice of paradise. Or, enjoy a delicious seafood brunch at Grunske's by the River Seafood Restaurant and Market and soak up relaxing views of the Burnett River.
