"Thanks for having us! Luxurious towels, cool breezes, awsome frogs and morning birds!"

   We are fortunate to enjoy excellent dining close at hand. The award winning restaurant "No 2 Oak Street" is walking distance from Koompartoo Retreat. You may also wish to visit "The Blue Fig" located at Sawtell only 25 minutes or "Misty's" in Dorrigo (30 minutes west) for high quality, à la carte dining.   Otherwise, nearby cafes and eateries include...

BELLINGEN

The Lodge 241

Lodge 241 - Gallery Cafe
   
An old Masonic Lodge put to alternate use as a Sydney-styled cafe. You will locate Bellingen's best coffee here. The Lodge affords great views west up the Bellinger Valley and often exhibits quality local paintings and sculpture. The local Chess Club welcomes all comers on lazy Sunday afternoons, starting 1pm.

The Cool Creek Cafe
   
The Cool Creek Cafe offers Bellingen's only cabaret venue. With a busy schedule of performing artists and BYO, cafe style eating the Cool Creek Cafe attracts music lovers from near and far.

The Swiss Patisserie
   
If you are unconcerned by calories, enrich your day at "the Swiss Patiss" with a pastry and coffee. Sit outside on wrought iron furniture or spread the paper on wooden benches.

Boiling Billy Coffee House
   
Just up from "the Swiss Patiss" the Boiling Billy is a cafe with a real country feel offering old fashioned service with a changing menu of light meals.

The Old Butter Factory
   
If you're really hungry, this is the place for you. Every meal is a small mountain. Service is fast and efficient. The view is west over the golf course toward the mountains. The Butter Factory complex is home to numerous craft shops which you may wish to browse.

No 2 Oak Street
   
This licensed or BYO restaurant is Bellingen's best à la carte dining. Sit inside in front of the fire during winter or outside on the verandah on balmy summer nights - either way you'll have a meal to remember.

The Carriageway Cafe
   The recently re-opened Carriageway Cafe is the place to go for a quiet glass of wine and very good Tapas. The Carriageway Café is open 7 days for breakfast and lunch as well as Friday and Saturday evenings.

SAWTELL (25mins drive north)

The Blue Fig
   
Small and smart, The Blue Fig restaurant is nestled in the main street of Sawtell directly opposite beautiful Morton Bay Fig trees.

   The restaurant seats only a handful of people, serves modern cuisine and does a sideline in kitchen and cookware.  With back to back hospitality and food awards The Blue Fig is a dining experience not to be missed. Book well ahead to be sure of a table.

Olive Oly's
  
One door down from The Blue Fig, Olive Oly's offers excellent gourmet pizza and pasta dishes. BYO wine, choose a spot indoors, or roadside on those balmy summer nights. Perfect compliment to a movie at Sawtell's Cinema Internationale.

MYLESTOM (15 min drive east)

Rivers Restaurant
   Fabulous sunsets over the river and mountains from the deck or glassed interior. Deliciously innovative or classic food from the French training chef. Open Wednesday to Sunday for lunches and Wednesday to Saturday for diner. B.Y.O.

DORRIGO (30 mins drive west)

Misty's
  Don't miss an evening at "Misty's" on the Dorrigo plateau. "Misty" because the cool air of the plateau fogs the roads and fields during winter. Located in an old tailor's shop, Misty's serves game meat, trout from Ebor and beautiful Dorrigo potatoes. Not a vegetarian's restaurant. Also find the Plateau Cafe and  Dorrigo Gallery Restaurant.

URUNGA (12mins drive east)

Anchors Wharf
  
Set on the side of the Kalang River in Urunga ("Where the river meets the sea"), Anchors Wharf Cafe is an award winning eatery offering family restaurant dining.
