Peter And Eva Long Weekend Lunch Special

Buon cibo, buona vita! Good food, good life! Experience a taste of Italy in every bite over at Peter and Eva on Owen Street Huskisson, where lunch is on the menu for the long weekend. Sample a truffle pizza, a prawn salad and don’t forget dessert. Open from Thursday to Monday, lunch 11:30-2:00pm and dinner  5:00-9:00pm. Book a table online or order takeaway.

Pasta Buoy Takeaway Cocktails

If you feel like sitting outside in the quaint little laneway and transport your imagination to Tuscany, or maybe Santorini with the glint of the sea, then head down to Pasta Buoy on Owen Street Huskisson for fresh pasta made on the premises. Alternatively, pack a feast for the whole family and take it home or to one of the perfect picnic spots around the shore. Their takeaway cocktails in a jar are the cherry on top. These guys offer convenient online ordering and pickup from the shopfront.

Sushi All Weekend

Overlooking the Huskisson Wharf down the walkway off Owen Street, this cosy little spot is perfect for a freshly brewed coffee and cinnamon scroll to start your day. But when the sun sets, Jervis Bay Coffee Co kicks things up a notch!

Transforming into Sushi Martini Club from 5pm, serving chef-made sushi and Japanese plates, alongside expertly made martinis – we love the Lemon Drop with a rainbow roll.

Open Sunday evening too, this weekend will feature live music from Fig Jam.

Vincentia Italian

If Vincentia is your locale, you can always find something special at La Vespa in the arcade next to Coles at the Burton Street shopping village. Over the long weekend, with their large menu there’s plenty to choose from, and this is the perfect restaurant for large groups and families. Talk to the staff about any requests or requirements.

Authentic Malaysian cuisine

If you are in the mood for authentic Malaysian food, head to our new AK Dragon Malaysian Restaurant and Bar in Huskisson, next to the Huskisson Bayside Resort on the corner of Bowen and Hawke Streets. Chefr Alex’s menu showcases tasty chicken, slow-cooked brisket, crispy pork belly and local seafood. This week you will find fresh pacific oysters with Malay style dipping sauce, and Malaysian-style Jervis Bay mussels. Takeaway options are available and families are welcome.
