Eating local food greatly benefits the local community, your health, and your general sense of wellbeing. After all, local foods taste better, are more nutritious, are transported less, and use less packaging. Moreover, this doesn’t only apply to buying from local markets but also to good local restaurants too. That’s because switched-on chefs know the benefits of high-quality local produce. Consequently, local chefs spend time discovering the best seasonal fruits and vegetables available. Plus, they take advantage of some of the finest local beef, lamb and pork in Australia. So, we know the Coffs food scene is exciting, but where to go next?
The Coffs Food Scene
The Coffs food scene offers the complete gamut of exciting food experiences. On the one hand, Coffs has restaurants that have been operating successfully for decades. These include Thai and Indian restaurants along the Jetty strip. It’s their authenticity that keeps them popular. For instance, Fiasco Ristorante + Bar offers real Italian classics, all produced with fantastic local ingredients. On the other hand, Coffs isn’t shy of change either. Indeed, enticing new restaurants have appeared over the last few years. There’s The Dumpling Bar at Park Beach, offering authentic Chinese dumplings and noodle dishes. There are so many great eating experiences in Coffs; check out the Good Food Guide for a comprehensive list.
