Emerald’s Best Restaurants & Cafes
Capricornian Restaurant
Just 100m from the Emerald Inn, you’ll find a fantastic dining option with a modern Australian à la carte menu that boasts the best steak in town. We highly recommend trying the house-made fresh pasta, crocodile spring rolls, standing rib bone, and our GM Alex’s favourite, the chocolate crepe! Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with takeaway and chargeback options available.
The Shelfield & The Sensory
Hands down the best coffee in Emerald. Boutique specialty café, The Shelfield, is a great option for a takeaway coffee and light snack on-the-go. The Sensory is a great family-friendly dine-in option. In a rush? Order on the Skip App.
Hops & Vines Tapas Bar
Our favourite for craft beer, cocktails, tapas and woodfired pizza. Open Wed – Thurs for dinner and Fri – Sun for lunch and dinner. Takeaway also available – perfect for a picnic in the park or by the river!
Maraboon Tavern & Bottle Shop
The Maraboon Tavern and Bottle Shop is just down Esmond Street from the Emerald Inn. The Maraboon Liquor Drive-Thru offers one of the largest selections in town and (hot tip!) takeaways are also available over the Maraboon Tavern bar until midnight every night.
