( Where, OH Where? ) Bannisters Pavillion Rooftop Bar & Grill in Mollymook Wild Ginger in Huskisson PAM BURRIDGE SURFING SCHOOL (www.pamburridge.com) The opportunity to brush up on one's surfing skills with a former world champion (who's also a Shoalhaven local) is one you don't come by every day! Pam Burridge runs a fabulous surfing school at Mollymook Beach. The Pam Burridge Surfing School provides friendly coaches, great with kids and big kids alike, making learning to surf a super fun experience. You don't need to be brave, just willing to give it a try! WILD GINGER (www.wild-ginger.com.au) One of the challenges for foodies who are located in sleepy coastal towns can be finding for high quality and/or a variety of cuisine options. So when we headed off to Wild Ginger in the centre of Huskisson, our tastebuds were delighted to experience a beautiful degustation that was filled an incredible fusion of Asian-inspired flavours that transcended us into delicious new realms of satiety. Wild Ginger’s food psychology is predominantly based around Thai dishes but it also offers a variety of cultural recipes from the whole region of South East Asia. Living on the beautiful shores of Jervis Bay, it’s blessed with some amazing seafood produce (e.g. yellowfin tuna, crayfish, oysters, snapper, flathead, bream and blackfish, which are often seen on the menu when in season). PILGRIM'S CAFÉ (www.pilgrimsmenu.com.au) Vegetarian fare typically fails to excite me; that is, until I laid foot in the very funky looking, and well reputed Pilgrim's Cafe in Huskisson. Once I got my head around the fact their extensive, mouth-watering menu did not include bacon, I found myself enjoying a nourishing plate of goodness and not even missing my beloved bacon! We were delighted by the portion sizes too! Pilgrims Café Huskisson is a popular café with the locals. The menus include delicious meals for all tastes, from pancakes and granola to burgers, pies and wraps. The perfect coastal café; their Pilgrim's Cafe in Huskisson juices are named after local breaks and they have surf board hanging the walls. You’re definitely in for culinary delight. BANNISTERS PAVILLION ROOFTOP BAR & GRILL (www.bannisters.com.au/restaurantand-bar-mollymook) Celebrity chef Rick Stein is renown for his exquisite meals at his established restaurant in Mollymook called Rick Stein at Bannisters. An extension of this is Bannisters Pavillion Rooftop Bar and Grill, which offers a more relaxed dining option but with the same high quality fare that Rick Stein is known for. The Rooftop's menu is inspired by Mediterranean, Southern Californian and Mexican cuisines, complemented by seasonal cocktails, craft beers and an Antipodean-focused wine list. There’s also a special children’s menu that includes dessert and a drink, making it an even more family-friendly option than his original restaurant.
