1. Arajilla
$$$$ | |Dining at Arajilla Retreat at least once during a stay on Lord Howe Island is a must. The cuisine, which changes daily, uses fish straight from the ocean and lovely homegrown vegetables. Begin with a drink at the cozy bar, decked out just a little like a gentlemen's club with leather armchairs, and then take a seat at the restaurant with its white walls and one dramatic burgundy-color feature wall. The three-course menu changes weekly, based on what is fresh and in season. Desserts are irresistible and may include black sticky rice with lychee sorbet, toasted coconut, and kaffir lime. In-house guests take precedent over those not staying at the resort, so bookings are essential.

2. Subo Newcastle
$$$$ | |A bright, intimate star in Newcastle's dining scene, Subo is one of the hottest spots in town and is often booked out weeks ahead. A stylish bistro in the central business district, Subo serves a A$100 five-course tasting plate that changes every six weeks and might include prawn carpaccio and foie gras, confit of chicken wings with blackened corn, Wagyu beef with smoked leeks, and chocolate-orange mousse with rum-and–orange syrup cake. There's also a vegetarian five-course meal available.

3. The Stunned Mullet
$$$ | |Opposite Town Beach, Port Macquarie's best restaurant also has the best views, but don't let that distract you from the food. With so much sea in front of you it's only natural that the menu also features lots of seafood—all of it sustainably line caught or farmed. The menu rotates but generally, there's a seafood mixed with pasta option. And at least one meat option, like pork loin served with quince. The wine list is suitably impressive but limited vegetarian and vegan options.

4. Merewether Surfhouse
$$ | |Opened on the site of the Merewether Beach's original surfhouse (a lifeguard station), this stunning three-story venue has fantastic ocean views from all three of its eateries. The ground floor café, pizza, and gelato bar are steps from the beach, while the top-level restaurant has expansive panoramas and is open for lunch and dinner. You might begin with the local Port Stephens oysters with shallot vinegar before moving on to a seafood main. The dessert list is extensive and the wine list features wines from the Hunter Valley. The café is open for all-day breakfast and lunch daily, offering burgers and salads.

5. Scratchleys on the Wharf
$$ | |This swank establishment is as close as Newcastle comes to having an iconic restaurant. Enclosed on three sides by glass and perched over the harbor on the busy esplanade, Scratchley's opened not long after the Honeysuckle precinct transformed Newcastle into a hip and happening place more than a decade ago. The restaurant has one of the best views in Newcastle and an extensive menu to please all-comers. Starters include seafood chowder, oysters, and prawn salad, while several dishes—king prawn linguine, and prawn satay with spicy peanut sauce—are available in either starter or main sizes. Non–seafood fans have steaks, lamb cutlets, and corn-fed chicken breast dishes to consider, and a range of vegetarian options and Hunter Valley cheeses to sustain them.

6. The Landing Bar & Kitchen
$$ | |Enjoy the passing parade of tugboats and tankers coming and going in Newcastle Harbour from this buzzy bar and restaurant on the Honeysuckle strip. Locals come here for casual catch-ups over cocktails, pizzas, and shared plates on the deck, but the serious foodies head inside for the larger Mod Oz plates, mostly designed to share. The restaurant is famous for its charcuterie board and other dishes featuring locally grown meats, but the fish is just as good, especially the calamari fritters.
