Taverna

The Verdict

A scenic drive south across the NSW border is where you’ll find Taverna, and a slice of Santorini in the sleepy seaside village of Kingscliff. This adorable Greek-inspired eatery will spoil with saganaki-like haloumi, charred octopus with pickled vegetables, and 48-hour slow-cooked lamb; paired perfectly with salty ocean breezes. With its cute peppermint front door and crisp white interiors, you’ll wanna Instagram the heck out of everything. You have been warned.
