TASMANIAN COASTAL SEAFOODS
Read moreFormerly The Gulch, this famous fish & chips in Bichenot has moved and changed its name during 2022.

On the menu, of course, very fresh fish and seafood that you can enjoy with a glass of white wine. Possibility of seeing dolphins from the restaurant.
SALT DISH
Read moreGeraldton's finest dining experience. Seasonal salads, fish and fresh pasta. But it's the homemade cakes that will make your taste buds quiver. The lemon tart is a delight. Prefer the main room to the unattractive courtyard. The dinner menu is rather expensive, but one of the best meals you'll have on the West Coast (outside Perth!)
Note the small concentration of restaurants around the waterfront and surrounding streets. Café Fleur, further along Marine Terrace, is a good address for a quick and delicious meal.
