About The Whales Way Restaurant

Perched on the edge of North Straddie, ocean breezes meet handmade pasta and fresh local seafood. Chef Matt runs a breezy dining room framed by wide views over Point Lookout beach. Those in the know gravitate straight toward the water—fresh oysters, oversized scallops beside pork belly, and steak crowned with Moreton Bay bugs. The kitchen keeps things focused with a tightly edited lineup, turning out ribbons of seafood fettuccine tossed with prawns and mussels alongside $13 cocktails at the bar. Salty air, unhurried coastal rhythm, and a housemade beef patty on a sweet bun round out the midday spread.

  • Fresh Local Seafood: Standout plates pair ocean catches with house cuts, from fresh oysters and hefty scallops to steak topped with Moreton Bay bugs.
  • Handmade Pasta: Diners point to the handmade fettuccine tossed with prawns and mussels as a kitchen highlight.
  • Scenic Ocean Views: Stools at the bar look straight out over the Point Lookout beach and rolling surf.

Before you head over

Practical tips to help you get the best experience at The Whales Way Restaurant

  • Prioritize Seafood and Handmade Pasta

    Reviews highlight the handmade pasta and fresh seafood as standout dishes, whereas standard fare like burgers or steak received more mixed reviews. Stick to the local seafood and house pastas for the best experience.

  • Visit for Lunch at the Bar

    If you are looking for a more affordable meal or a casual setting, visit during lunch. The lunch offerings provide solid value, and seating at the bar offers prime beach and ocean views.

  • Expect a Focused, Limited Menu

    The kitchen runs a reassuringly limited, focused menu rather than a sprawling selection, so review the daily offerings ahead of time if your dining party has highly specific preferences.
