Coogee Restaurants

Deep Blue Bistro Coogee Reflecting all the laidback charm of its beachside location, Deep Blue Bistro does fine dining in casual Coogee style. Diners spill out onto the pavement, soaking up the sea breezes, while the interior is decorated in shades of blue and ochre, alluding to Australia's red earth as much as to the seaside address. While Carr Street in Coogee is about as far from outback Australia as one can get, this bistro brings a bit of the bush oceanside with a menu packed with native goodies.

The breakfast menu hints at this preoccupation, with dishes ranging beyond the usual eggs and bacon to lemon aspen ricotta hotcakes served with berry compote and ironwood syrup. The dinner menu takes it further with dishes such as the signature tasting plate of kangaroo tartare, chargrilled kangaroo loin and braised kangaroo ravioli. On Sundays, diners can indulge in an outback degustation dinner: an Aussie-centric journey from North Queensland crocodile carpaccio to Murray River yabbies on a lemon myrtle risotto cake - all served with homegrown wines, of course. more
