Are you searching for a bite to eat on a night out in Coffs? Well, with everything just a walk or quick cab away from our location this blog is your go-to guide for where to go to maximise the fun you feel and memories you make on your nights out! 

  1. Latitude 30 (15-minute walk)

If you haven’t yet heard the name, then you soon will because this has long been Coffs’ premier place for modern Australian cuisine with unbeatable ocean views! It’s in a league of its own and well worth the booking for a premium night out and something new every time you holiday, as their menu changes with the seasons.

  1. Element Bar (5-minute walk)

Known as one of the hippest joints in the whole town, there’s something exciting happening here almost every night of the week. Whether it’s the weird happy hours (3:58 – 6:01pm, what?!), $15 pizza nights or the enormous menus for food and especially spectacular drinks accompanied by a welcome, fun-loving atmosphere!

  1. Fiasco Ristorante + Bar (5-minute walk)

This business birthed from a local Italian family’s passion for simple, traditional Italian dining. They’ve a remarkable reputation and are known to go the extra mile to ensure their ingredients are locally sourced! It’s an authentic experience like no other, so if you’re after a hearty meal and beautiful dining experience then book your table now.

  1. Taste of North India (5-minute walk)

There is such a great selection of exotic cuisine in Coffs Harbour and this restaurant in particular, is truly legendary. From the lassi’s you drink to the lamb rogans you eat, you’ll roll out of the restaurant brimming with delight and memories of a night well spent.

  1. Velvets on Jetty (5-minute walk)

Our final pick is classy new venue operated by the talented folks behind the gorgeous Two Tails Winery in Nana Glen! Here you’ll experience divine wines, decadent cocktails, fresh seafood and seasonal cuisine within a relaxed coastal setting. Treat yourself to something new at Velvets.

There is truly no shortage of fantastic venues around town, but if you were to only have 5 nights out on the town then each of these venues would bring with them an entirely new and unique experience while still leaving you feeling satisfied with high spirits, a full belly and a mind full of memories. If you’re after more thoughtful recommendations, then just ask our friendly staff at The Observatory Holiday Apartments during your stay. Bon appétit!
