Jervis Bay offers a diverse culinary experience, ranging from casual cafes and classic pub fare to modern Australian and Asian fusion establishments, often highlighting fresh local produce and stunning bay views.

1. The Gunyah Restaurant at Paperbark Camp

Cuisine: Modern Australian with a South American twist

Nestled high in a treetop canopy, this restaurant provides a truly special dining experience. The menu, featuring contemporary Australian dishes with a Chilean chef's influence, highlights locally-sourced ingredients. It is perfect for a romantic evening, with options for pre-dinner drinks on the Sundowner deck, and a cozy atmosphere enhanced by an open fire in winter. Booking is essential for this multi-course feast under the stars.

Price: Approximately AUD $80 per person for a three-course menu

Getting There: Located at 571 Woollamia Road, Huskisson. A car or taxi is recommended, as it is a short drive from the main Huskisson area.

2. Wildginger Huskisson

Cuisine: Thai-inspired Asian Fusion

This is a fantastic choice for a flavourful dinner with a touch of exotic flair. The menu is varied and often features fresh local seafood, which is expected given its coastal location. I found the banquet option to be excellent value, offering a great selection of dishes to share. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff are attentive. It's also a great spot for cocktails, with pet-friendly outdoor seating available.

Price: AUD $30-60 per person (higher for banquets/multiple courses)

Getting There: Located at 42 Owen Street, Huskisson, making it easily accessible by walking from most central Huskisson accommodations.

3. Stonegrill Huskisson

Cuisine: Interactive Steakhouse & Seafood

For a unique and engaging dining experience, Stonegrill allows you to cook your chosen cut of premium meat or fresh seafood on a hot volcanic stone right at your table. It ensures your meal is cooked exactly to your liking. Beyond the interactive element, the quality of the ingredients, including fresh oysters and prawns, stands out. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for an enjoyable dinner with friends or family.

Price: AUD $25-50 per person

Getting There: You can find Stonegrill at 1/48 Owen Street, Huskisson. It is centrally located and within walking distance of the main area.

4. 5 Little Pigs

Cuisine: Modern Australian Cafe (Breakfast & Lunch)

This cafe is a local favourite for a reason. It consistently delivers delicious food and excellent coffee, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The dishes are creative and elegant, yet remain affordable. The atmosphere is funky and family-friendly, though it can get quite busy, especially during peak times. Their braised pork belly bao buns from their food truck at Jervis Bay Brewing Co. are a must-try.

Price: AUD $15-30 per person

Getting There: Situated on the corner of Owen and Currambene Streets in Huskisson, it is easily walkable from the town centre.

5. The Huskisson Hotel (The Husky)

Cuisine: Pub Classics & Seafood

An iconic spot with incredible views across Jervis Bay, The Husky offers two distinct dining experiences. The Bistro serves up classic pub food that is consistently good and reasonably priced. For a more modern setting, The Pavilion offers a lovely restaurant overlooking the bay, where booking is highly recommended. It’s a great place to enjoy a casual meal with family or friends, soak in the local atmosphere, and perhaps enjoy a drink in the beer garden.

Price: AUD $20-40 per person

Getting There: Located at 75 Owen Street, Huskisson, this pub is a central landmark and easily accessible on foot.
