3 Best Australian Restaurants in Wollongong NSW

We went to Relish for Father’s Day dinner and were so taken back by how fabulous the service was, we were taken care of by Tim and he did not fall short of fantastic in any way. All courses came out in a quick time frame, every interaction with staff was positive and helpful and the food was delicious. Shout out to Tim for making our experience amazing and the Relish team for creating such a great atmosphere.

Had a great meal at Relish with friends. Relish has provided wonderfully fresh and delicious meals for YEARS. Their menu includes seasonal tweaks and changes, which is lovely, but they've kept several mainstay items in place which is why so many (including us) come back again and again.

Absolutely incredible dining experience. From the happy hour Toblerone Cocktail to the most magnificent 7 course Chefs menu dinner. Great value for money and wonderful hospitality from all the staff. We’ll be back many more times.

Exceptional food. The Rookie set menu was more than substantial, very full (in a good way). The sashimi was the standout for sure, also the duck and potatoes. Loved the wine options, and the staff were delightful. Only feedback would be towards the atmosphere. Slightly louder music, slightly dimmer lights (maybe more candles), and that door needs fixing (it slams shut every time someone enters). Didn’t really upset our experience, but worth noting. Thanks for having us.

Very impressed by this place. In an unassuming old house on the main street, the interior is whitewashed with black chairs. Very cosy interior. As to the food, we had a set 5-course menu and every dish was excellent. Sashimi and crispy skin pork were the highlights. Some of the dishes are pretty spicy if that's an issue for you, although I'm sure they could modify that. Highly recommended and will eat here again. It's not cheap but the quality is worth the price in my view.

Pretty damn hard to fault. Cosy ambiance in a renovated old home. Service staff super friendly, in fact I'd seen them before at Debutant and they remembered me and my drinking preference (rum). Asian vibes were definitely prominent but in a way my western palate really enjoyed. The pork and fish salad was ridiculous. The caramel and fresh herbs. Omg.

We recently had lunch at Aqua and had a fantastic experience! The bruschetta was a delightful starter, and both the fish and chips and the salmon were outstanding—huge portions and incredibly delicious. The atmosphere was lovely, and the overall dining experience was excellent. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely cafe restaurant across from the beach. Dog friendly outdoor area. The generously portioned food and wine was delicious. We had a lovely lunch of mango calamari and fish with salad accompanied by sparkling wine and the affogato with frangelico was a perfect dessert.

LOVE Aqua! The coffee is always good and Anna and the team provide excellent service. Always welcoming and friendly! Beautiful views as well with a great atmosphere.
