Salt Water Restaurant at Lizard Island Resort

Culinary gem

Offering a wealth of innovative dishes that showcase the best of Australian produce prepared by world-class chefs, the exquisite menu takes advantage of the island's unique location, with a focus on fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients. 

The restaurant's signature dish is the Lizard Island Seafood Platter; a selection of the freshest seafood caught in the surrounding waters that features king prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, Hervey Bay scallops, and other locally caught fish, all served with a simple side of lemon, lime and herb butter.

The restaurant caters to a variety of dietary requirements. Vegetarians will love the Grilled Portobello Mushroom, while meat lovers will delight in the Australian Black Angus Beef. The restaurant also has an extensive wine list, featuring some of the best Australian and international wines for the perfect pairings. 

Beautiful surroundings

Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean, the restaurant promises an unforgettable dining experience, and is particularly popular at sunset, when the sky turns shades of orange and pink, creating a spectacular backdrop for dinner.

The restaurant is loacted within Lizard Island Resort, a private island surrounded by lush tropical gardens that is home to an array of wildlife, including tropical birds and giant monitor lizards. Visitors can take a leisurely walk around the island and discover hidden coves and secluded beaches, or take a guided nature walk and learn about the island's unique flora and fauna.
