Octopii

Best Known For

Paella with mixed seafood and chorizo.

Mediterranean fare with a South African twist is on the menu at Octopii on Wallaga Lake Road in Bermagui. Bright sea blue and green tiles lure guests into a chic interior of whitewashed walls and ocean themed prints, where they can take a seat at pale wooden furniture and contemplate an ever-evolving creative weekly menu. Lunchgoers may be tempted by options like whole peri peri prawns with savoury rice and lemon butter sauce, or perhaps a quinoa, pecan, cranberry and apple salad with lemon dressing, appeals. Those stopping by for an evening meal can delve into mains such as mussels in a chilli, tomato and capsicum sauce, or Kashmiri chicken curry with raita, chutney and papadums. Don’t forget to leave room for a sweet treat like fig and almond tart with vanilla semifreddo.
