The Best Seafood Near The Calile, by the Record

  1. Rank 1. BLOWFISH Ocean Grill + Bar

    Modern Australian Seafood

    A two-level seafood restaurant on Broadbeach's main strip, BLOWFISH pulls a crowd that dresses up a little and stays for rounds. The team behind Moo Moo runs this one, and the formula is similar: big room, confident cooking, a wine list with ambition. Moreton Bay bug rolls and grilled WA rock lobster do most of the heavy lifting on a menu that mixes surf and turf without apology. The Australian Good Food Guide awarded it a Chef Hat.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
