Bribie Island Restaurants

On a recent day trip to Bribie, Lunch on the deck at the Woorim Surf Club overlooking Moreton Bay and the shipping lane leading out of the Port of Brisbane proved to be a winner. The view; the food; the wine list all proved to be much better than I had anticipated. The only area in which I could fault the set up is in the lack of easy wheelchair access.
Boy oh Boy! If you are a tooth merchant, you will be impressed by the Menu at WSC. There is a great choice and the prices are affordable. Each dish is annotated with a recommended wine pairing.
As well as various snacks there are breads and dips available eg Tomato & basil bruschetta, crumbled feta balsamic glaze $ 7.50
Entrees: a choice of about a dozen - the majority of which are gluten free. We restricted ourselves to a main each but next time I’ll have the entrée of Szechuan Pepper Seasoned Squid: flash fried and served with green salad and aioli. $ 12.50 ($ 20 as a main).
There are Caesar Salad and Greek Salads ranging in price from $12.50 to$17.50 depending on accompanying topping (Portugese Chicken, King Prawns or Smoked Salmon)
Mains include five seafood choices, 2 chicken, a mushroom and parmesan Risotto and 3 choices of MSA grain fed beef from the grill ($25 – 27.50)
There are sides $3.50 : fries, mash, green salad or cooked veg available for big eaters. Children are well catered for meal wise and I was impressed by the staff taking the time to issue what appeared to be free icey-poles to kids after their meals.
Desserts and cheese board are available. The above mentioned staff were very friendly. Wine service was good. The remaining inch in the open bottle (not enough for a glass full) discarded with a new bottle opened. Most places would have mixed them.
Have I mentioned the wine list? The list of Australian and NZ wines is extensive with a couple of dozen choices of both whites and reds and a dozen or so sparkling whites, red and rose. Available by the glass or bottle. There is even a choice of a couple of whites a red and a sparkling for $4 a glass (1.9 standard drinks) or $14 a bottle. My Scottish heritage was well catered for.

Favorite Dish: My Navigator chose to eat Tempura Battered Parrot Fish with salad and fries $17.50 which was voted as being better than your average fish and chips. He chose the Fisherman’s Lunch of Scallops in the half shell, Szechuan Squid, flathead and fresh King Prawn on fresh Green Salad and Tartare Sauce $22.00. This proved to be very good. I was especially taken with the squid – hence the resolution to have it as an entrée next visit.
I could not help observe fellow diners enjoying their steaks from the grill. I immediately thought of the $45 steak I had at a more up-market place last week. It was good too...but was it worth twenty bucks more?
We drank wine by the glass.
Casual dining (no table cloths and standard eating/drinking ware) but I was impressed and came away with a promise to return.
