The Boatshed — Restaurant in Norfolk Island

We arrived at 9:20 while the breakfast is served until 10. That might have been the reason why our three first choice dishes were not available. The amount of meat in my Grilled Beef Fillet was scarce, Two rushes of beacon fresh and tasty, the hollandaise was less fresh, maybe made earlier in the morning. The egg yolk in my poached egg was on the hard side. My wife was more lucky. Mushrooms were dry and lacking any appeal. The worst was the melted butter.

The few young service teenagers were lacking the skills to engage patrons and there was nobody mature to take charge of the service. Definitely, that was my first and last visit to this place.

There are other places on the Island where you feel more welcome and get a better value...

We sat outside the main roofed area as it was a bit quieter. 2 of us had the mixed selection bao buns( pork belly, chicken, fish) and one the Thai chicken curry. The curry was very good but the buns were disappointing. The protein component was very small, the coleslaw dressing too runny and small, so it overwhelmed the buns. Service was good. Nice venue. So it just depends on...

We went to the boatshed for breakfast & lunch and loved it, breakfast started with a continental breakfast and finished with eggs Benedict with smoked salmon (my favorite). Then we returned for lunch and had the THE GOV'S Homemade beef burger and loved it, we also had a discussion to sit outside in the garden which you look up at a humongous Norfolk Island pine tree...
