Tonight a new restaurant for us. Piggyback at Palmwoods. In the same group as Rice Boi at the Mooloolaba Wharf which is very popular. Asian Fusion. I was with 5 nurses who did their training at RPAH some years ago.
The menu.






Braised beef. Photos only when remembered and the food had reached me.


Pork belly.


Calamari with Tom yum paste. Great taste.


Chicken curry.

And eggplant chips. The best dish of the night.


Many of the dishes are spicy but mostly mild but served with extra chilli. Really beautiful combination of flavours and we will definitely be going back.

Today we went to Arcachon a coastal town on the shores of Arcachon Bay. Just under an hour from Bordeaux. It is famous for oyster production.

We are not huge fans of oysters so we limited ourselves to a taster plate of 6 - for 6€ at the Arcachon Les Halles. I must admit that they tasted very sweet and fresh.





We then had a meal at a small restaurant next to the oyster stall.



My wife had the veal - Paupiette de veau - with a cream sauce and champignons and rice. She enjoyed it but found it too filling and was unable to finish it.



I had the Beef Carpaccio. It was a perfect meal for a sunny summer day.

Lunch Bistro C Noosa.
The menu.




Two shared the gnocchi and kingfish sashimi and said they were delicious.




The fish and chips looked good.


As did the barramundi special.


I didn’t take a photo of Mrsdrron’s salmon or my yellow curry with seafood which was delicious.
The restaurant from the beach.


And finishing lunch after 3 hours the fire was still burning.
