BIBESIA DINNER MENU
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:
Silkwood Butchers… People ask why are our steaks so good? – simple – the meat comes from very happy cows. Not only are Silkwood Valley cows fed the greenest Silkwood Valley grass – but are also treated with love & kisses. The cows enjoy classical music & long walks in the paddock … knowing that one day a part of them will make you happy too…As a matter of fact 87% of the cows requested that they be enjoyed with a good bottle of red! Just as the cows are not rushed to mature, their meat is not rushed when cooked. Our chefs take the time to grill your steak to perfection, and also allow resting time so your steak is optimally juicy and flavourful.
Yamagishi Eggs… The happiest chooks in the North! The Yamagishi farm is located near Innisfail, 35km north of Mission Beach. Established and run by a Japanese family, Yamagishi has around 18,000 happy hens which are fed daily with fresh cut grass and fresh tablelands corn. It has been rumoured that infamous Froghorn Leghorn may have retired there… in Innisfail! I know, crazy right!
Castaways Herb Garden… Castaways very own herbal utopia. Picked from the garden and straight to your plate, our herbs are fresher than the prince of Bel Air!
Bingil Bay Prawns… If you drive north along the coast road you come to Bingil Bay and a prawn farm! Bingil Bay is very picturesque with fringing coconut trees and considered by many to be the 2nd prettiest beachfront in the Mission Beach area.
there’s food, there’s good food, and there’s food made with love – something that our kitchen team strive to achieve with every plate. food for us, isn’t just a fuel, it’s a passion. we just love serving yummy food. love it! enjoy our menu – local. fresh. with love…
Mungalli Creek Dairy… an out of the whey teahouse! This family run company uses state of the art manufacturing equipment and traditional natural farming methods to bring you a unique range of biodynamic award winning dairy products. Their cows also enjoy classical music & long walks in the paddock… As a matter of fact nearly all of their cows request that their products be enjoyed with a good bottle of red or white!
Silkwood Pepper … When you crave the aromatic scent and flavour of freshly dried black pepper look no further than Silkwood pepper farm… you won’t get fresher pepper! Team Silkwood Pepper up with unrefined, mineral rich Murray River Pink Salt to experience a surprisingly, delicious combination of Salt & Pepper.
