  1. Embassy XO

    Modern Chinese

    Seed pod lights cast a warm glow over dark timber and silk Asian furnishings, and the surf at Sunshine Beach is right outside. This is a modern Chinese restaurant where the chef runs his own farm inland at Cootharaba, so roughly three quarters of the produce travels a short distance before it becomes something with XO sauce or coconut tom kha. The lounge bar with its winter fireplace makes a case for arriving early and staying late.
