C-Bar & Longboard are two restaurants side-by-side half way along The Strand and both are great for water's edge dining. Recommended for lunch.

Miss Songs Asian Kitchen
67 Sir Leslie Thiess Dr Chinese with a great view.
Donna Bionda
373 Flinders StGood Italian
Jam Corner
1 Palmer StHas reputation as being one of the very best restaurants in town.
I'd say the best restaurant in town, 'big city' standard. When booking (except for mid-summer) ask to be seated outside.

Bridgewater
2 Dibbs StreetAnother excellent restaurant
Just take your time and do not order everything at once. The staff are perfectly comfortable with you staggering your food order. This helps you select the order that you want dishes presented, paces the evening out and stops you over ordering.

If you want to experience something a bit different, this place has a really interesting menu (not your everyday, usual stuff).
Don't let the shabby street frontage put you off. Dining is at the back, in an outside courtyard and it is really an excellent restaurant.
BYO makes it even more outstanding.

Rambutan

The bar here is popular with the business set but the Quaterdeck Bar at the Casino has the edge.
