The Garden Bar Bistro
Airlie Beach, Australia
The Garden Bar sits in Coral Sea Marina's South Village, with tropical planting and a waterfront outlook that encourage a slower afternoon. Its international menu gives groups a range of choices, while cocktails and wine make it equally suitable for a drink that turns into dinner. This is a sociable marina stop rather than a formal dining occasion. Check opening days before heading over: the current schedule concentrates on Wednesday to Sunday, with lunchtime service mainly at weekends.
