Breakfast is typically fresh fruit, homemade muesli with fresh, toasted coconut, and eggs from free range eggs. Lunch depends on the catch of the day, which can include dishes like steamed oysters with sliced ginger and lemongrass or a chilled squid salad with arugula and lime juice, chili powder, and coriander. Other options include tropical crayfish thermidor, battered barramundi, fresh grilled coral trout, and red emperor steamed with fresh herbs, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
