Overview

At the northern end of Burleigh Pavilion sits a full-service restaurant, The Tropic. Aside from the view, the venue's highlight is the large open kitchen, which allows diners a front-row seat to see the culinary team at work. The Tropic's produce-driven menu showcases ingredients from the local area and northern NSW region, with standouts being the kingfish tartare, fig salad, wood-fired pig calzone, ocean king prawns, and rib eye on the bone. With its unforgettable backdrop and relaxed space, The Tropic is the perfect spot for a long lunch or dinner with a view.
