MEDITERRANEAN VIBES at the Jetty... Food Review of ESMÉ Bar & Kitchen, Coffs Harbour, NSW

ESMÉ Bar & Kitchen is the new restaurant everyone in Coffs Harbour is talking about – named ESMÉ as a tribute to owner Nicole Donovan’s late grandmother.

The menu, and interior design is Mediterranean inspired, and the restaurant is awash with fresh coastal colours featuring blue and white.
How did ESMÉ Bar & Kitchen come about....?

BEAUT FOOD IN BANGALOW... Food Review of You Beauty Dining Room in Bangalow, NSW

"If you want to eat interesting and delicious food in Bangalow, You Beauty is the go-to.

The restaurant opened in 2022, and the menu is driven by Chef Matt Stone and focuses on fresh flavours using local ingredients.
Stone’s philosophy is "The less food has travelled, the better it is, and the better it is for the environment."

The dining room has a retro 1970s ambience about it with......"

IDEAL for couples, BOTTLEAERO is a super creative place to stay in Coffs Harbour.
Located in a private residential setting, close the handcrafted timber front door, and you could be anywhere in the world.

“If you're planning a romantic getaway my choice is Bottleaero. This uniquely creative Airbnb in Coffs Harbour was designed and built from the ground up by its owners, Lynn and Rob.

'A secluded deck with a view'... Food Review of SHEARWATER Restaurant at Coffs Harbour, NSW

"SHEARWATER Restaurant is nestled away from busy Harbour Drive and overlooks a panorama of Coffs Creek at one of its widest and prettiest points.

In this secluded bushland setting you can forget you are only minutes away from the growing city that is Coffs Harbour.

No need for art on the walls with this view!
From the outdoor dining area..............."

GNOCCHI NIRVANA... Review of Hemmingways at Nambucca

“DID YOU KNOW that American writer Ernest Hemingway moved to Havana, Cuba in 1940, and lived there for 22 years?

He was initially drawn to Cuba for the incredible fishing available in the Gulf Stream.
Over time Hemingway fell in love with Cuba – it was not far from the USA, yet worlds apart.

This might explain why HEMMINGWAYS Bar & Grill is located inside the CUBANA RESORT in Nambucca Heads – even if the spellings are different.
Imagine dinner at HEMMINGWAYS with Hemingway!

Ernest Hemingway's name is often associated with 🍸 drinks...”

CREAMY, DREAMY, buffalo milk...
Why is buffalo milk so creamy?

Its high fat content of 8% makes Buffalo milk ideal for making soft cheeses, yoghurt and gelato, milkshakes, and of course, added to coffee!
I recently visited Eungai Creek Buffalo Farm, a working farm that produces a variety of delicious cheese, gelato, yoghurt and buffalo meat products....

BRAZIL in Coffs Harbour? Yes please.
Move over Cheese Toasties! These Brazilian bite-sized chewy balls of oozy cheesiness are called PAO DE QUEIJO. They are waiting for you at HOPE ROAD Espresso Bar in Coffs Harbour.
Located at ‪31 Park Ave‬, (near Genesis gym as it happens) HOPE ROAD is already 6 months old and I didn't know about it until recently - shame on me.
Brazilian 🇧🇷 owners Matti and Deb have dreamed about opening a little espresso bar for years. But everything in life is about timing, so when they found this small space and the timing was right they jumped in… “We pulled down walls ourselves to renovate and create this little espresso bar. We always wanted to keep it small and the highest of quality,” says Deb, “with a lot of colour, culture, music and love ❤”
And we’re lucky to have them!
Why is the café called HOPE ROAD?
“Matta is a huge Bob Marley fan and Bob used to live on Hope Road in Kingston. Also, “Life needs hope as we travel along…” explains his wife, Deb.
The chillaxed in a hammock mural that fits nicely in that theme is by artist
.
The coffee ☕️ is good, and being Brazilian, they carry a few imported goodies for your larder. Those containers of Paçoquinha de Amendoim contain Peanut 🥜 candy. Paçoquinha is a traditional Brazilian sweet. As well as local raw honey 🍯 from The Casual Bee.

EAT, SIP, & EXPLORE the Coffs Coast with a local.
