Jonah’s On The Beach

We wanted fish for lunch on our drive from Sydney to Brisbane and decided on Jonah’s on the beach, which is part of and/​or sits in the same building as Noah’s on the Beach hotel. (Judging from the biblical names they are related.)
The restaurant interior is a bit dated, but the view is amazing. We enjoyed seeing quite a few para gliders soaring (and pulling acrobatic tricks) at reasonably close distance above the cliff, which was fun.
We started with the «Seared Lamb Fillets with Peach and Mint Salad, Couscous and Labna $ 24», which was excellent. Very creative and tasty.
For our meals we had:
«Saltwater Barramundi with Caper, Tomato, Olive, Chilli Salsa and Chickpeas $ 37» and
«King Prawns with a Mild Chilli Fettuccini Sautéed with Spanish Onion, Snow Peas, Brandy and Double Cream with Salmon Roe $ 42»
Truth be told, we weren’t blown away. The fettuccini in particular was not as it should be. For $ 42 you simply shouldn’t have glued-​together pasta strands; the sauce also wasn’t anything special. The barramundi was nice and creatively paired with chili salsa and chickpeas.
So, a bit of a mixed bag.
Positive: Great view, great starter and barramundi
Negative: Dated look, pasta faux-​pas, pricey
If we are again in this area one day, we would likely go check out a different place. Conclusion: 3 stars.
