Fruit and Vegetables

My local fruit and vegetable supplier ‘Big Al’ in Yeppoon does a very good job for myself and most of the other local restaurants & cafes. We don’t always have the local products at our fingertips & thanks to Alan we manage to get a good supply of what we need on a regular basis. Through his contacts in Brisbane at the markets he sources the produce and twice a week the delivery arrives fresh and ready for distribution to the chefs & to stock his shelves in the shop. If there is anything special that we require he’s on the phone to chase it up. Now that’s service. The best thing is you can quickly drop in and see him and his helpers at a whim and they have always time for you. He is open seven days and delivers 6 days a week to us at Beaches Restaurant at Rosslyn Bay so we always have the freshest produce that is available in Yeppoon.

Food Guides

I came across this website/blog today Gold Coast Food Guide, what a great blog it is. It gives an unbiased review of eateries in the area. The site was created by a young lady that having lived in Melbourne (arguably the food capital of Australia) and reading the generous supply of food guides, looked forward to trying out new restaurants recommended by the Age and other guide books which helped to discover some fantastic restaurants, cafe’s and providers throughout Melbourne. Once back on the Gold Coast and after discovering a lack of unbiased restaurant reviews she set up the Gold Coast Food Guide. Something that she mentions on her site is quite relevant, quote “It seemed the local press only ran reviews when a restaurant placed an ad in their paper” and there wasn’t a dedicated Gold Coast food guide book. I hope that you follow the link to this site and have a good look around. Maybe this might become a site that you look to before heading down the coast to the so called great dinning experiences that you long for but supposedly don’t have up here. Well come on out and try the places that we have and go and compare. Here are just some of our local eateries; (alphabetical) Beaches, Lagoon, Marsden Tavern, Megalomania, Michaels, The Shore Thing, Waterline cafe, and others that I haven’t mentioned. Maybe food lovers can share their honest dining experiences and together we can discover some fantastic restaurants and eateries on the Capricorn Coast.
