Scallywags
Restaurant
👍👍 Came here first stop off the ferry for breakfast. What a lovely way to start our holiday. Food was great and totally worth the price. The mega brekky was delicious if you're hungry. The staff were very friendly and prompt. 10/10 would recommend.

Saltwater Restaurant Magnetic Island
Restaurant
🫤 After hitch hiking our way home one day, our driver recommended this place so we decided to book in for my partner's birthday.
We ordered a salmon dish and the beef short rib dish. Unfortunately, both dishes took forever to come out and while I understand there is an element of island time, this fel...

Island Dosa
Restaurant
👍👍 As a South Indian, I was surprised and impressed by the quality of Peters dosa! Crispy, good aloo masala, and chutneys. He makes everything from scratch including the batter - super impressive stuff. Keep it up Peter!

Maggie Lee's Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 If I could give 6 stars, I would give them. Maggie is a lovely lady who's almost the mother of the island. Makes very good coffee, but please don't miss the spring rolls! Also, very reasonable priced. Especially consided it located on a island and next to the ferry. Don't miss her out. One of MI's h...

Boardwalk Restaurant and Bar
Seafood restaurant
😠 Staff are badly trained. Restaurant is dirty. You can expect premium when you look at the menu and location ,but the reality is this pace is quite appalling. I came here twice to see how things are the second time. Nothing changed. So much of no competition and supporting the local businesses. I...

Up The Garden Path Restaurant & Bar
Restaurant
🫤 Difficult place to review. It has a nice setting overall but the dining room is basically like a noisy school cafeteria with wobbly tables and plastic chairs, it adjoins the bar so a few noisy blokes and a game of pool ruined any chance of atmosphere.
I had the coral trout, the fish was great but wa...

Island Burger
Hamburger restaurant
😠 Good hostel but the chicken burger was the worst I’ve ever had. Sad to see them advertise it with such confidence because it was plastic chicken, so bad that I had to throw it out unfortunately. Would not recommend the chicken burger
