Cafes

Wild Ryes

Wild Ryes is a local favourite. Carbs and coffee. Does one need anything else? If you’re heading to Pambula, you need to stop in for a batch brew and a Thai chicken curry pie, or two.

Toast

The local cafe Toast is our go to for a delicious breakfast close to home. Sit out on in the courtyard amongst the trees, drink ONA coffee and munch into breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner!

Switchfoot

Switchfoot combines coffee, surfboards and surf wear. It’s the newest place in town, and it’s the place to be. Sip coffee slowly and soak up the sunshine, while Jed Done shapes epic surfboards out the back!

Restaurants

Banksia

Restauranteur’s, Hugh and Renee Jones know how to do it. Their new place nestled into their family home in the Main Street of Pambula takes local and seasonal produce and turns it into magic. The menu changes weekly, so if you see something you like, go twice!

The Oyster Barn

Perched on the waters of Merimbula Lake, here you can eat an abundance of local seafood cooked to absolute perfection. Oysters, Tuna, Prawns, Scollops. It’s all here.

Covington’s Thai

There’s something special about a small town Thai restaurant. And Pambula is lucky to have their very own! We are suckers for the Penang curry!
