Best Known For

Find a slice of Bali without leaving Russell Island at The Happy Room Café on Canaipa Road. This Indonesian fusion Brisbane dining destination boasts a ‘two hands’ menu sure to appease ravenous hunger; while the next-door shop Oombie Goombie is where to head for tribal-influenced clothing and knickknacks. Stop in for breaky tempters such as Mediterranean eggs in tomato based sauce with mushrooms, onion, chorizo, toast and a floated baked egg; or join a lively later crowd for crispy battered fish tacos with slaw and housemade zesty sauce. Perhaps nasi goreng Indonesian fried rice hits the mark, with prawn crackers, side salad, fried egg and chicken; or chow down on a housemade beef burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, cheese, sauce and fries.
