Pebble Beach at Qualia, Hamilton Island, AUSTRALIA
When
we arrived at qualia, we were asked by the hotel concierge if we had
anywhere particular in mind for dinner. I was excited to try both of
the well-known restaurants at the resort, the Long Pavilion and
Pebble Beach, but I wasn't sure which one to choose for our first
night dinner on the beautiful Hamilton Island.
We
decided to take our golf buggy and explore the property.
And...
that's when I saw Pebble Beach. Available exclusively to qualia
guests or by invitation only, this restaurant is set on the resort's
pebbled beach by the Coral Sea. It offers amazing panoramic views of
the pristine water and lush islands, which makes it the perfect spot
for a casual, relaxing lunch.
I
wanted to go there and dinner was reserved at 7.30 for a table by the
edge of the restaurant / beach.
We
had a relaxing afternoon at Spa qualia before we turned up for
dinner. A few tables were joyfully chatting away. Candles shimmered
on the rainbow swirled dining tables and replaced the panoramic views
of the ocean that I saw earlier that day - there was no lack of
romance.
As
soon as I saw the menu, I knew that I was in for a great gastronomic
experience. Our starter, glazed chicken wings w' wasabi
mayonnaise were perhaps the best
chicken wings I have ever tasted! The entrée was followed by slow
cooked lamb shanks and
spatchcock w' stone fruit,
both of which were perfectly cooked with beautiful presentation on
monstrous wooden serving platters.
Our
waitress was efficient and very polite.
I
couldn't think of anywhere else better to go for dinner to celebrate
the start of our marvellous honeymoon getaway.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $140 (or thereabouts).
