Boardwalk Restaurant & Bar

Best Known For

Peppers Cold Seafood Platter: fresh red spot King prawns, Moreton Bay bug, natural oysters, pickled octopus, mussels, smoked salmon and tropical fruit.

Ferries, yachts and luxury cruisers drift in and out of Nelly Bay under the watchful eye of Boardwalk Restaurant & Bar on Magnetic Island. A generous alfresco dining area extends out over the crystal water, joined to an interior lit by windows and foldable glass doors showing off the locale’s palms, sand and blue ocean in every direction. Diners roll in from Peppers Blue on Blue Resort, along with guests from all over the island on the hunt for Modern Australian cuisine full of interesting fusions. Chef Damien Reading presides over a tropical menu well suited to the exotic marina venue, think sand crab bruschetta, or scallops three ways to start; followed by grilled salmon with roasted cauliflower, confit leek, miso garlic sauce and chimichurri. Tropical crème brulee appeals to finish.
