We were in Wynnum today while the inaugural Wynnum Seafood Festival took place, but by the time we…read morearrived there throngs of festival-goers queueing up for over 5 mins just to get a feed. My sister and I weren't too impressed. By chance we decided to stroll down to the esplanade and have a wander around and came across this little gem. It seems a lot of other ex-festival people had the same idea and decided to escape the crowds and have some seafood by the sea shore. While it was super busy at the Pelican's Nest and all the outdoor seating was taken, we ventured inside to find there were no queues and we could order straight away (no 5 mins waiting in line!). We ordered the 'Treasure Chest', were given a buzzer and went outside to wait. Food was ready in under 10 mins and we decided to take away our food and walk over to the esplanade and sit in the park to enjoy our feast. The food was delicious - fish was super fresh and flaked away nicely. We also really enjoyed the prawn cutlets - nicely butterflied and cooked to perfection. I also really like the fact that the meal came with a proper side salad. All in all it was a lovely meal, and was definitely the highlight of today - after the disappointment of the festival.

We were going to go to the other fish n chips shop down the street, but they were closed. In fact,…read moremost of the shops were closed as it was a Monday, so we were only left with this option. The take-away shop has outside seating and it was extremely busy on this beautiful day. We waited about 10 mins to order and when we got up front, we put our orders in and went outside until our name was called. The plates weren't terribly expensive. Average was $17 each for a calamari and chips, a cod fish n chips, and a whole fried sea bream. Food was hot and fresh and for a take-away place, it was decent. Best part is the park across the street leading towards the Wynuum jetty. You can choose to have your food take-away and eat at the end of the pier.

She was quite surprised to find that out, but that's Yelp's problem, so if you are interested in going to dine here, I would recommend it as they do cater for all sorts of intolerances as well, but open at 4pm NOT 7am as it says on here. If you need to book, go to their own website and you will find the mobile contact phone number for them. Good luck and enjoy your dining experience. Antoinette S

Centrally positioned within the…read moreWaterloo Bay hotel the Fig has both indoor and verandah seating and looks out on the famous beergarden and the restaurants' giant fig tree namesake. The menu is way better and pricier than the bar food nearby and while there are some yummy burgers for around $15 on the lunch menu, the dinner menu is a bit fancy, with some very nice elements. We enjoyed a haloumi salad, house spiced strip loin, pumpkin gnocchi and pork fillet. The salads and pastas cost around $15, the mains range from $20 up, to $35 for eye fillet with seafood toppers. Next time for that one.

This place did try - but for the price, simply did not equate with what was served. Perhaps they are trying too hard?

There were three of us and we loved the meat platter for 2 and the starters that we shared - grilled octopus, Saganaki with caramelised figs and manitari (mushrooms topped with silverbeet, spinach & fetta).

We only needed a quick look at the menu as we couldn't go past the Lamb Breakfast - two lamb cutlets, poached eggs, grilled halloumi, rocket and parmesan. All I can say is wow. The lamb was perfectly cooked, the poached eggs deliciously oozy, the halloumi nice and thin and not squeaky, and the rocket was impeccably dressed with shavings of parmesan and red onion to top everything off. I would definitely recommend this dish for breakfast or brunch. We've already booked in for lunch next weekend so I'm hoping their seafood offerings are on par with the lamb.

The front of the restaurant has great harbour views while the back has beautiful lighting, cosy red chairs and impressive gold mirrors. It is a great place to go if you are looking for a quality meal, rather than takeaway chips like I normally do. They do not have a huge menu, something I actually like because it usually means they do the few items really well rather than a huge number of things to an average standard. Mains include salmon, risotto, chicken and sirloin steak. I tried the risotto and it was lovely, not dry or bland at all.
