The Box on the Water

Best Known For

Whole fried tamarind snapper with coconut jasmine rice and tamarind sauce.

Ettalong locals flock to The Box on the Water restaurant and lounge bar for absolute waterfront dining in contemporary style, found ocean-side of The Esplanade at the recently re-developed Ettalong foreshore. In all weather, soak up panoramic views across soft sands and sheltered bay waters dining at a leisurely pace, seated underneath the lush fern fronds that hang from the ceiling in black pots, while surrounded by a smart casual environment reflective of the nature outside. Fat Poppy coffee, craft beer, cocktails and antipasto share plates are just a few items that can be enjoyed before mains of freshly caught seafood and succulent meats. Opt for the octopus confit, or kangaroo carpaccio before a larger plate of Atlantic salmon with pearl barley tabouleh, rocket and minted chimichurri.
