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.
