Take a holiday of your own and head along the Marina’s edge of Port Drive in Airlie Beach to arrive at La Marina restaurant. Spectacular water views welcome passersby into a sophisticated dining room of polished concrete floors, exposed timber counters, stacked sandstone walls and an open air bar adorned with glistening pendent lighting, making for a coastal resort style space to relocate to whilst enjoying fresh seafood and punchy cocktails. Melbourne owners have brought a little taste of the city’s foodie reputation up North, creating refined dishes like the Pollo Gorgonzola - rosemary infused chicken wrapped in pancetta with roasted pumpkin and crispy gnocchi topped in a cheesy sauce or perhaps opt for the local Tiger prawns in a creamy tomato sauce, finished with a seafood bisque.
