About the restaurant

Situated on Kawana Island and overlooking the picturesque Double Bay, the Green Zebra Restaurant & Bar has it all from outdoor fresco dining to private dining and function rooms.

Come and enjoy delicious Modern Australian food and drinks, all made with only the freshest seasonal produce. Listen to the gentle waves lap against the shore while sipping on a cocktail and sharing tasty morsels of small plate starters.

Our name? Green Zebra is a variety of heirloom tomato. Simple as that! Quirky, fun and vibrant; a name people will affiliate with food, and not forget in a hurry.

Our philosophy is uncomplicated, fresh, healthy, moreish food that we love to eat. Our food is prepared in house daily, with passion and precision by our amazing team of chefs.

About the restaurant

Located in The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, Warrior Restaurant & Bar is a unique dining experience you won’t want to miss. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, our menu’s identity is derived from the classical techniques of the world with the modernisation that is Australian cooking. Recipes are influenced by the unique produce that Australia has to offer, in a celebration of our region. The Chefs at Warrior spend their time sourcing beautiful local ingredients to create these dishes. Paying homage to the First Nation people and the plant life they have been utilising for thousands of years, we at Warrior endeavour to take these earthy flavours and pair them with the fresh produce of our neighbouring farms.

A beautiful setting inside the restaurant as well as the gorgeous outdoor area where a person can view bushland and kangaroos and emus. It's also somehow, very relaxing. There were however, only five options for a main course on the menu. Having said that, what our party had (fish and chips and wagyu hamburgers) were really really delicious followed by a dessert I will never forget as it was amazing and delicious also. The fish was swordfish and pretty special. The service could not be faulted. I would happily return there and can recommend.

About the restaurant

Passion for food and love of all things Italian is what inspired Basil & Vine Café.
The Fargnoli family believe food is central to our Italian way of life and large family meals are customary in our household - Meals are relaxed affairs enjoying each other’s company and the sense of community.
Traditionally Italian dishes are made with simple ingredients that can be made or procured inexpensively such as pasta, bread, cheese, olive oil and tomatoes. Italian cuisine is all about using quality ingredients well and not so much about fancy cooking techniques.

We were greeted at the door on arrival and seated outside as requested in our online booking. The dinner menu had a good selection from starter to dessert and the food came out in good time. There is a kids menu and we dined with our 11 & 15 year old kids. There was the right amount of lighting and volume in the dining area and we felt relaxed and comfortable. Our waitress looked after us throughout the night as needed. We had a lovely family night and we would definitely dine at Acqua again.
