Explore Bundaberg's finest flavours

A gateway to locally farmed, fresh produce, Bundaberg holds a hidden array of culinary delights waiting for you to discover. Four hour’s north of Brisbane on Queensland’s subtropical coast, you’ll find farmers, chefs and artisan distillers growing, cooking, blending or brewing wonders of prime local produce for locals and visitors alike to enjoy. 

Visit local farms to meet the producers who passionately share their stories, enjoy brunch off a seasonal menu at an indulgent café, or try your hand at the art of blending your own bespoke gin. For a truly iconic Queensland experience, head through the golden gates for the Blend Your Own Rum experience at Bundaberg Rum. Learn the art of blending with expert rum blending guides, craft your unique blend, pour it directly from the barrel, and take home a souvenir that will transport you back to your Bundaberg holiday with every sip.

But despite what you may have been told, there’s far more to distilling in Bundaberg than rum these days, with Kalki Moon Distilling and Brewing Company producing a range of lip-smacking gins, vodkas and liqueurs for a different take on Bundaberg’s drinks scene. However, if you have your heart set on sampling something tasty that gives a nod to the region’s famous sugar cane fields, they’ve recently released ‘Plant Cane’, a light-coloured and versatile cane spirit.   

Be sure to make the most of Bundaberg’s authentic and delicious food experiences by timing your visit with Taste Bundaberg Festival, the annual food event celebrating the best of the region’s foodie delights. ‘Bundy’ is a town brimming with bakers, baristas and brewers fusing country values with world-class innovation. So, if you’re a lover of fresh produce straight from the farmer to your plate and a thriving restaurant and cafe scene, Bundaberg is the perfect destination to put on your bucket list while holidaying in Queensland. Water St Kitchen and Bert’s are two of many top choices for fine dining restaurants in Bundaberg and you’ll find a wealth of wining and dining options around the centre of town on Quay and Bourbong Streets.    

Just 20 minutes away on the coast, the beautiful beachside village of Bargara holds its own in the culinary stakes. Given its location, naturally, you don’t want to miss out on the seafood, but there’s more to Bargara’s restaurant and cafe scene than fresh-from-the-ocean fish. Hit up Red Chilli Thai for authentic Thai takeaway, the Bargara Beach Hotel for contemporary Australian and pub grub, and The Windmill Cafe Bargara for coffee and some of the most colourful and healthy breakfasts you’ll find anywhere on the coast.
