If you're looking for the ultimate coastal dining experience, we think a scenic road trip to idyllic Palm Beach might just deserve a spot on your weekend to-do list. And we’ve found the perfect spot there for you to check out for lunch.
Dunes at Palm Beach have nailed the kiosk-slash-restaurant combo that has become synonymous to the kicked-back lifestyle of Aussie beach goers. Ice-cold summery cocktails? Check. Crisp white boho decor? Check. A killer menu packed to the brim with fresh seafood that is carved, marinated, shucked and fried? Check. Check. Check.
If you want to settle in for a nice long meal, the restaurant and deck area of Dunes is open everyday for lunch. Sunday is their special day where the restaurant extends its hours for brunch and dinner too, but rest assured that the kiosk is open every day from 7am for a more relaxed bite.
Should you find yourself settling in for a dinner session one Sunday at Dunes, do yourself a favour and take advantage of their $45 paella special and live music. To sweeten the deal even further, Sunday evenings include the slinging of $15 cocktails. Count us in.
If you’re visiting for a regular seating at Dunes, the menu has all kinds of playful takes on seafood. We’re talking tuna crudo with avocado mousse; soft shell crab cabbage salad with a mango matcha salsa; barbecue octopus with roasted chickpeas and hummus; and tomato mussels with spicy Italian ’nduja sausage.
If you’re fresh out of the surf Home and Away-style, the kiosk’s brekkie options will offer some pretty tasty fuel, from vegan hash brown and mushroom rolls to chia pudding fruit compote and a good old egg and bacon roll. Lunch spans a range of paninis, burgers, fish and chips and fresh daily salads.
