The last decade has seen a reinvention of the Illawarra’s food and drink culture. Led by trailblazing cafes and small bars, passionate locals have turned the CBD into a melting pot of cultural cuisines and a foodie’s delight. Vietnamese street food sits side-by-side with fine dining. Choose a locally brewed craft beer or a skilfully created cocktail. Whatever your flavour, exploring our local venues is a must-do for any CBD visitor.
Say goodbye to boredom this Autumn. Our packed events calendar has something for everyone: from major festivals, to art workshops, to all-you-can-eat tapas!
Cafe culture runs in our veins. You’re in for a treat with locally roasted coffee, healthy brekkie bowls, indulgent burgers, fresh-baked cakes and pastries and a focus on local produce waiting for you.
Sip cocktails in style on a rooftop, ease into the evening in an intimate boutique bar, and find your new favourite tipple with bartenders who really know their stuff.
Experience the world on a plate in the CBD. Discover the best Italian, authentic Asian, fresh seafood or innovative contemporary cuisine through our in-demand dining.
