Top 10 restaurants in Fraser Island, Australia

September 11, 2017 Franklyn Hardiman

The turquoise waters surrounding Fraser Island are a frenzy of sea life. The world’s largest sand island is a spectrum of vibrant greens, and the World-Heritage-listed sand bar is simply stunning and the perfect spot for beach fishing. There aren’t paved roads here, just sand tracks, making the entirety of Fraser Island one big 4WD, off-roading adventure.

Three friends and myself, visiting from NSW, were in need of a good breakfast after a two kilometre early walk along the beach. When we came across the Salt Café there were plenty of empty tables but looking at the meals in front of other...MoreThank you so much michaelmW5427AL for your lovely review, we are glad you enjoyed your experience at Salt Café Urangan.

Reviewed By Pete W - Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia

This place comes recommended by friends. I attended a staff function and wasn’t overly impressed.
In particular, at one time the table arrangement was altered to cater for additional guests but the new arrangement blocked emergency egress for about a quarter of the guests & the restaurant staff & management didn’t see the problem.

Paolo's Pizza Bar

Wood fired pizza!!!! Pasta and entree Gelato and cake!,

Reviewed By TheEfamilyTexasQLD - Maleny, Australia

BEST PIZZA - delicious base, incredible sauce and gorgeous toppings. Very well priced - $16 - $20. Some pubs charge $25 for a bland bistro pizza. Paolo's Pizza's are authentic and delicious.
The pasta was also delicious and everything is made quick and fresh.
The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was warm. The sea breeze was welcomed.
Be sure to go here if you are a keen pizza lover - you won't be disappointed.

Coast Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By hungrycaterpillar270 - Singapore

Used to visit this place weekly when I lived here and can I say - it never gets old. The food and drinks are always great and the location by the beach gives this place a really classy chill vibe. Menu is constantly being revamped but so far haven’t eaten anything really disgusting. Price is not cheap but still affordable, and worth every cent. Nothing in Brisbane is quite as good as this IMHO. Would advice booking in advance. Would consider travelling all the way to HB just to eat here. Drooling just thinking about it!

Madigans is always busy, that speaks for itself. They are situated across the road from a great park with picnic areas and covered seats which has access to an awesome beach.
It is our custom to pick up something from Madigans and stroll across to the beach to eat it. We have never been disappointed!

Not great, but not bad. Food is tasty but not particularly refined, sorta like coarse cut vegetables and thick creamy sauce/ lots of cheese. Service was warm and attentive. Will not go out of my way to eat here but would not actively avoid either. Nice ambience by the water.
