Portofino Italian Restaurant 

Cuisine: Italian, Pizza, Salads, Seafood


Went here for dinner on a lovely evening, unfortunately we were told we had to sit indoors despite there being available seats outside. The seats indoors are very close to the kitchen and it was uncomfortably hot.
I ordered the eye fillet which I found average and overpriced. However the waitress we had was lovely.

Brickworks Cafe 

Cuisine: Cafe, Breakfast


Great location, went there for breakfast.

I ordered their Brickworks Brekkie and a Latte, the breakfast had a good serving with their own fresh toast, sausages, eggs, tomato, bacon and mushroom. They give you a selection of either white or wholemeal bread, and how you would like your eggs done, to which I chose scrambled. It came fast and was nice and hot, however a bit oily but that is understandable.

My coffee arrived very quickly, it was beautiful – probably the best barista in Whitford.

The people were very nice and welcoming, my plates were cleared as soon as I was done which was nice, which gave me time with their magazines and my coffee.

Recommended, they also have pies and sweet slices which I am sure to try out next time.

The only fault I can find is that the birds love to come in every chance they get and feed on plates that have been left out.

China Yum Char Restaurant & Bar 

Cuisine: Chinese, Asian


Food is fine but harsh pricing and the appalling customer service. However the setting out is nice and it has a nice mood.

Pearl Garden Restaurant 

Cuisine: Chinese, Dim Sum, Asian


The first couple of times this place has been very pleasant, nice servings and service.

However recently I went for a birthday dinner and I must say this place is now ridiculously overpriced considering the portions. We ordered crayfish sashimi, and it was prepared in a ikizukuri style, meaning the crayfish was still moving while we were eating. With children, this was horrifying and I suggest they remove this type of preparation!

Was invited there for a friend’s birthday party. Ordered the stone-grill steak special. Was very nice and tasty, arrived quickly after ordering. Excited to try other things on the menu, a nice place to eat!

Fresh Coffee Company 

Cuisine: Cafe


Friendly staff, very busy during weekend mornings. However coffee was burnt and did not taste pleasant, especially considering the price. $5.50 for a takeaway! One of the most expensive coffees I have had.

Sun World Chinese Restaurant 

Cuisine: Chinese, Seafood, Dim Sum, A La Carte


Delicious place, great setting and welcoming staff. Food is delicious and arrives quickly, however does slow down during busy hours but that is understandable. Also a bit on the pricey side, but when taken account with food and service, pretty reasonable. Recommended!!

Denny's 

Cuisine: Burgers, Family, Sandwiches, Breakfast


Denny’s seems to be popular because of its brand, but this place was very poor. Dirty utensils, poor staff and tasteless food. Needs a lot of improvement! Have been a couple of times and each time it seemed to get worse and worse. Not recommended!

Momo Tea 

Cuisine: Malaysian


A very cool place and setting, with very nice staff. However their food is not that well prepared and that is reflected by the cheap prices. Bubble tea and Nata ice drinks are one of my favourites here but lately the quality and taste has not been that well.

Jolin Shanghai Restaurant 

Cuisine: Chinese, Asian


Nice Shanghai restaurant, one of their great dishes is definitely the Shanghai dumpling and steam buns. However staff could be more friendly and responsive – seemed slow and understaffed.

Amy's Kitchen 

Cuisine: Coffee & Tea, Cafe, Family, New Zealand


A very nice and quiet place, scenery was beautiful. However it seems that was all – coffee did arrive longer than expected, and the food was prepared close to poor. The price was reasonable to above average. But, staff was nice and welcoming.
