The Cove

Reviewed By paulkT2128GN

If you are in Ballina and looking for a high quality dining experience then the cove will not disappoint, the garlic prawns were superb as was the seafood risotto. The prices were very reasonable given the quality location, ambiance and most importantly the flavours that are we’ll imbedded in the food.

Had a really nice Brekky here with a large group of friends. Service was quick and excellent, prices reasonable and all meals were very generous in size and presented beautifully, They all looked delicious I was envious of all the dishes that came out. Mine tasted good but just lacked a little something to give it that 5 stars. Would def come back as was better than expected. Nice outlook on the River too

Sirocco Cafe and Gallery

Reviewed By jagg686

I get a coffee here when in Ballina. Interesting, though, that customers wanting to pay have to wait to PayWave until after another customer has finished ordering their "usual" coffee by phone. Annoying. Fruit toast is good.

We were made to feel very welcome.The property is situated in a very quiet area. We ordered room service and the meals were as good or not better than some of Brisbanes top restaurants. This Chef deserves an award!! He even delivered it to us as we were late getting in and the restaurant was closing. It was very enjoyable. The property is very clean.The New Managers are Wonderful Including their staff. The bed lacked pillows and the aircon failed. But these things are being dealt to. Next time will be bliss i am sure. Price was very reasonable.If you like the olde World touch this place is for you.Hello Katrina Thank you so much for your kind review, it was our absolute pleasure to have you stay. You will be pleased to know the aircon has been repaired and we are continuing to implement more improvements daily. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you on your return visit, until then, take good care.

Fleurs Restaurant

Fleurs is pleased to announce our new menu. There’s been a real burst of flavours coming from the kitchen at Fleurs. Our Head Chef and his team have been busy creating new dishes and adding new twists to some firm favourites. So why don’t you book a table

Reviewed By Eaglerider53

Great little restaurant but unfortunately I went on a night when the main chef's wife had a baby, so chef was away. Consequently they were working on a limited set menu but they were very accommodating. The maitre'd was extremely attentive and helpful. The snapper with mash & veggies was beautiful; the veggies were diced & cooked fresh & full of flavour. Recommended.

Reviewed By brisvegas1954

On arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff and shown to a table by the window so we could enjoy the beach view. Our coffee orders were taken immediately while we perused the menu. This was greatly appreciated and shows the staff have been well trained. Coffee came quickly and our orders were taken. My husband had the Eggs Benedict and he was impressed with sourdough and the amount of salmon which came with the dish. I had the Breakfast Stack which included a tasty pumpkin and corn fritter, salmon, rocket and a poached egg. It also had hollandaise sauce which I asked to have on the side and it was no problem. All the poached eggs were perfectly cooked.We were so pleased we made the decision to have breakfast here and definitely will return when next in the area.

Ballina Gallery Cafe

Reviewed By wendy a

Had lunch with a friend with a friend under the trees at the Gallery. I had the garlic prawns (forgot to take pic) which tasted very nice and presented beautifully and my friend had the gnocchi which again presented well but she said was disappointing taste wise. Overall it’s a nice place but I wouldn’t rave about it. Left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
