“Very good…..”

Golden Cowrie Restaurant
Restaurant details
Reviewed 9 July 2024

We dinned here for dinner on 3 occasions all experiences were very good. The Cannelloni & Carpaccio Di manzo delicious appetisers. Tonnato for main. The staff are well trained compared to other restaurants at the resort. It’s not fine dinning as claimed but is very good. It’s adults only. We also had breakfast here everyday. Which was also very good. Thank goodness for this restaurant otherwise we would not have enjoyed our stay.

We loved this restaurant. The view, the food, the staff, all perfect.

Every morning we had the buffet breakfast here. Main reason was firstly due to being adults only (16 & older) & kept going back as there was no need to go elsewhere. We basically filled up in the morning & were set for a day of exploring. No need for lunch, just dinner later on in the day.

Plenty of choices: cereals, pastries, juices, egg station - cooked to order, sausages, bacon, hash browns, baked beans & fresh fruit. The hot food section varied each day.

Staff are super attentive & friendly, they always welcomed us each morning with a big smile. On our last morning they sung their farewell song (Isa lei?) which was just beautiful.

We had dinner there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A little pricier than other options but the food was spot on.
I had the lamb shank & my husband had the risotto. Both perfectly seasoned & lamb shank was so tender.
Dessert was also delicious, husband had creme brulee & I had the hazelnut chocolate mousse tart with strawberry sorbet. The tart was a little hard to break through but was still delicious. Creme brulee was apparently really good, I wouldn't know, he ate every little bit so I didn't get to try 😂

Definitely book in advance for dinner!

Good chill vibe for dinner. Staff was attentive and the food was incredible. We have ordered Carpaccio and Antipasto Italiano for entree, Trenette Neri ai Frutti de Mare and Bombolotti for main. The latter being one of the best pastas I’ve ever had.

We went to this restaurant for both breakfast and dinner and both were excellent.
The breakfast was adults only which enabled a bit of quieter environment and an upgrade on the cutlery/cups etc. It also enabled champagne and some other one off treats from time to time.
The dinner we had there was some of the best italian Ive eaten. Great food and value with a great view of the ocean/reef etc.
The staff were very attentive and friendly and sung often to guests that were celebrating a special event.
