You don't need to swing a golf club to love it here.Set within one of Australia’s top-ranked Golf Club's, Cardón is a destination in its own right. Locals come for breakfast, families make an afternoon of it, and on Fridays, the restaurant offers a relaxed dinner service in an atmosphere that makes you want to linger.Head Chef Graeme Mair cooks with intention. Simple by design, driven by quality, his menu draws on coastal flavours and global influences without overcomplicating either. Barramundi in Tom Kha Coconut Broth, garlic prawns with saffron rice pilaf, premium steaks, charcuterie built for sharing, and breakfasts worth leaving the house for.The setting doesn't hurt either. Pelican Waters Golf Club is also home to Australia's only Greg Norman-designed 18-hole mini golf course, making it an easy afternoon that stretches well beyond the table.Open seven days. Bookings recommended.
