Totally smitten (to borrow a term from a blogger friend) by the Sticky Date Pancakes with Caramel Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream, the Surf Club Restaurant and Bar has won my over my palate to declare that this was the best breakfast during my trip to Australia this round.
Taking an Aussie favourite, Sticky Date Pudding, and turning it into a breakfast item is, in my opinion, ingenious. A thick stack of fluffy pancakes are brimming with chopped dates, drizzled with a decadently rich caramel sauce, topped with juicy strawberries, sprinkled with icing sugar and sided with a creamy scoop of cold vanilla ice cream. Add a cup of Organic coffee and unobstructed sea views and this is an unsurpassable start to the day.
The Coffs Harbour Surf Club Restaurant and Bar will be my first stop when I return again to Coffs Harbour sometime in 2013.

Deliciously tempting breakfast indeed! Not heard of organic coffee. How did it taste – the coffee?
Coffee was fab! Yes, organic is all around Australia and some starting in Malaysia too. I actually think it's better than chemically sprayed options.
Tempting calories for Breakfast !
… Quotes, Haha ! I am semi-retired, I have not started any lecturing this year; plenty of time with my camera and thinking/choosing words to go with my blog photographs ! It will be difficult when I start teaching soon after next week before the Chinese New Year !
Enough calories to last for a week of breakfasts! Wow! You come up with your own words of wisdom?! I thought you must have great site that you poach them from. I am in awe. 🙂
Gosh, I could die for a breakfast with such a view! The pancake dish is huge! Can u finish them all?
I shared with hubby, but they were so good I have a feeling I could do it alone. 😉
I am sold by that first pic of the gorgeous pancakes overlooking the sea! 😀
Nice spot for brekkie right!?
All I can say is yum!
With a view like this, I think the food will be just as tasty. =D
Sometimes the view is the reason to visit and food comes secondary – lucky this place has both. 🙂
Wow, that totally deserved two close ups of the insides – it looks dreamy!
I was having difficulty deciding on which pics to post! 🙂
every photo of the pancake made me hunger for it more. definitely a calorie bomb, but how to resist! 😀
Oh yes, maybe a sprint along the beach first would be recommended before downing that stack.
everything is so delicious..
Mmm… mmmm. 🙂
That looks insanely delicious.
I need that for my breakfast! Xx
Oh yes, too bad I'm now miles away. It could be a fun thing to try to make on the weekend. 🙂
Yum!! So heavenly and sinful!
Yep, it has it all! 🙂
The sea view definitely a plus point huh 😛
Definitely a beautiful start to the day…
