Eat and drink at Cockatoo Island

Family enjoying a meal at Marina Cafe and Bar on Cockatoo Island.

Refuel at one of Cockatoo Island’s family-friendly waterfront cafes or enjoy a picnic with friends and family in an idyllic setting, removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Cockatoo Overboard is located near the Visitor Centre on the Eastern Apron while Marina Cafe & Bar is situated in the historic Docks Precinct. Both cafes offer kids specials and are licensed to serve alcohol.

Seeking the perfect picnic? Purchase a meal from either venue – or bring snacks from home – and ascend to Biloela Lawn for a panoramic harbour view. Alternatively, head to the Northern Apron Park for free BBQ facilities.
