orfolk Island isa great destination
for food lovers. Everything is
homegrown, fresh, in-season and
organic so you know you will be
eating the sweetest tomatoes,
tastiest carrots and juiciest
peaches, as well as enjoying a unique field-to-
plate experience. Growers provide the cafes and
restaurants with local produce first, and plenty
of places to choose from mean you will never go
hungry.

BEDROCK CLIFF TOP CAFE
For the best smoked fish sandwich on
the island
Heidi Adams will greet you through the
window of the kitchen where they are busy
preparing fresh food for hungry customers; this
is their home and what an incredible property
it is, boasting stunning views to the ocean.
Wander around the large, well-kept garden and
choose your dining spot from benches on the
clifftop, chill out on hanging chairs, cosy sofa
areas, the huge deck overlooking the garden, or
undercover on the patio, which is adorned with
local art and is also where their friendly dog and
cat relax. Try the best and biggest sandwich you
will taste on the island — and possibly in your
life — loaded with delicious carrots, beetroot,
avocado, homemade chutney and smoked fish.
Little touches such as hot cups to keep your tea
warmer for longer and the tastiest passionfruit
and guava pies make this a memorable place. It
would be easy to lose track of time here, especi-
ally as massages are also available.

HILLI GOAT FARM
Best artisan goat’s cheese tour and
island feast
Emily’s lifelong dreams have come true,
working on her stunning family property in
Anson Bay where she grew up, making the most
divine creamy goat’s cheese. She shares her
home with her family and some happy, cheeky
goats. Take a tour and discover how the cheese
is made, pick from the edible garden and learn
about seasonal organic living and the Norfolk
Whey. Indulge in an exquisite feast of
homegrown and home-cooked food on the patio
while taking in the beautiful sea views and
sampling the delicious Hilli goat’s cheese and
freshly baked bread. Walk it all off again and take
a look around her parents’ on-site pottery and
art gallery. Emily is working on her goat’s milk
organic cosmetic range, which she sells at the
local farmers’ market.

THE GOLDEN ORB BOOKSHOP AND
CAFE
Best place to sit and relax
Sharing the same name as the island’s
resident spider, this tranquil cafe is tucked away
from the main road in a sub-tropical garden and
doubles as a bookshop. Caz and Jack prepare all
their foodie delights on site daily; there is a nice
selection of pastries and cakes, along with the
best corn fritter stack with homemade haloumi
in town. It is a peaceful place to settle in for a
few hours with a good book, some delicious food
and a warming chai tea with honey.

BINKY’S ISLAND NECTAR HEALTH
FOOD STORE
Best post work-out smoothies
Soon to be the place to pick up your picnic
hampers fully stocked with local chutneys, pre-
serves, jams, guava paste, salts, chillies, fresh
herbs, fruit, local goat’s cheese, preserved cap-
sicum and even smoked fish. These are just some
of the delectable delights that adorn the shelves
in this warm and inviting space. Try one of
Binky’s liquid comfort smoothies, served in
recycled jars, such as the figgy pear or peach.
Binky gives you the freedom to choose and make
your own smoothies from the display of locally
sourced fruits, including gora, paw paw, papaya
and yellow guava, which all make for interesting
and unusual healthy options. Also on the menu
are bliss balls — Bircher muesli and fruit-and-
yoghurt parfait with granola.

HILLI’S
Best fine dining with a relaxed
atmosphere
The meaning of Hilli in the Norfolk lan-
guage is actually to relax and do nothing, which
is exactly how you feel when you enter this
popular restaurant. The menu is great, be sure
to try the local trumpeter fish which, if on the
menu, will be the fresh catch of the day: a white
meaty fish, delicious with in-season pumpkin
and green beans, washed down with local wine
from Two Chimneys Winery. Dessert is a per-
fectly sharp lemon tart with a biscuit base. Tie
in your lunch or dinner visit with a look at “must-
see” Fletcher’s Mutiny Cyclorama panoramic
painting, browse local artists’ work at the gift
shop afterwards or stroll around the bountiful
gardens.
