Tide’s Cafe, Bar & Restaurant sits at the heart of Deep Blue – a place where stories are shared over a steaming cup of organic coffee, where mornings begin with a vibrant buffet breakfast, and where the day unfolds at its own pace. By afternoon and into evening, the space shifts gently, inviting long lunches, shared plates, and moments that linger a little longer.
It’s where a casual meal can turn into something worth celebrating – gathering around the High Tide Seafood Tower, delicately prepared and drawn from clean Australian waters, or settling in for the five-course Tasting Menu, a thoughtfully paced experience shaped by the season and the chef’s creative direction.
There’s the comfort of a warm meal by the fire in winter, and the lightness of fresh, flavour-led dishes on a summer afternoon. Whether you’re fuelling up for the day, winding down after a wellness ritual, or marking an occasion with something more considered, Tides brings people together.
The Tides Breakfast Swell between 7am-10.30am daily is a vibrant buffet to fuel your day – a delicious spread paired with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, whether you’re easing into the morning or grabbing something on the go.
Tides Café & Bar is an all-day dining space where relaxed atmosphere meets fresh, flavour-led food. Whether you’re stopping in for a light lunch, an easy afternoon bite or an evening meal, the menu brings together wholesome favourites and thoughtfully prepared dishes using premium ingredients and select regional produce. It’s welcoming, easy-going dining with a refined edge.
A five-course dining experience that moves with the rhythm of the season, where each dish is guided by the chef’s creativity and a deep respect for ingredient and technique. Expect clean, layered flavours, and a natural progression from lighter beginnings through to more considered, satisfying finishes. It’s dining that invites you to slow down, settle in, and enjoy each course as it arrives.
Coming Soon! A polished two-tier celebration of seafood from Australian waters, mindfully sourced and beautifully prepared. Each element is handled with care and grounded in technique, resulting in a light, clean, and delicately composed tower that lets the natural freshness and character of the seafood shine.
