Asian flavours meet Mod Oz fare at Billabongs Family Restaurant on Bank Street in East Maitland. From humble beginnings in East Maitland Bowling Club, Billabongs is now a dining destination with a local cult following due to bountiful buffet offerings and delectable dishes. For more than two decades guests have been greeted by founder Jimmy Po and welcomed into bright, light surrounds with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the greens, inviting them to relax and choose from a huge selection of fare. Be tempted by fresh prawns, oysters and mussels at the seafood bar, teamed with the likes of Greek and potato salad, or delve into savoury soups and tender roast meats at the carvery. For a taste of Asia, try the sushi, dim sim and noodle bar, making sure to leave room for a decadent dessert.
