1. The Best Produce Makes the Best Brunch
Spoiled by a region that grows, nurtures and produces everything you could imagine, cafes and restaurants are spoilt for choice when it comes to adorning their menus with fresh, locally-grown produce and reef-to-river catches. The year-round availability of a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables makes for an interesting and ever-changing foodie scene with chefs not afraid to experiment.

2. Tantalising Locations
From the décor, to the accommodating chefs, to the location, to the friendly staff, you'll always feel at home in a café in Bundaberg. Enjoy peaceful family-friendly garden settings metres from the beach, an intimate indulgent dining experience, and a chat with the hospitable locals who run and work at the cafes.
