The Whales Way Restaurant

Perched on the edge of North Straddie. Endless ocean breezes. Unbeatable beach views straight from the bar. Anyone tracking down serious coastal flavor knows to drop anchor here. Chef Matt runs a relaxed, breezy room where the seafood does the heavy lifting. Island regulars point straight to the fresh catches—briny oysters, massive scallops, and surf-and-turf plates crowned with plump local bugs. The handmade seafood fettuccine tossed with mussels and prawns? Utterly brilliant. Even the humble beef burger hits the mark with a slightly sweet bun and a juicy, rustic patty. Grab a seat by the window, order a cocktail, and let the salty air do the rest. Honest, warm service. Top-tier frutti di mare energy with laid-back Aussie charm. Stick to the ocean bounty—it’s the absolute play.
