"Enjoying Brunch at Born Wild|© Born Wild Wholefoods + Espresso. Live on the wild side and head to Born Wild Wholefoods + Espresso for brunch in Townsville. The extensive brunch menu has several gluten-free and dairy-free options, with delicious dishes including sweet almond and savoury pancakes, a breakfast burger and a paddock-to-plate savoury mince specialty."

"Born Wild is reputed café in Townsville as it is serving since long in the city and is dedicated clean eating and healthy lifestyle café. Born Wild is the one stop destination for healthy living stores and cafes. Born Wild toast, sweet almond pan cake, egg and chicken dishes are very much tasty and famous in this café."

"That Place on Sturt has a minimalist interior, with modern and mismatched furnishings. Settle in and enjoy a frappe, cold-brewed iced tea or cold drip coffee with your breakfast. There’s ‘nothing fancy’ scrambled egg and avocado options, breakfast burritos and gypsy eggs, which include chorizo and kidney beans in a spicy tomato sauce."

"Lots of spare space surrounded with pillars and easy chairs. The ambience of this café is very simple and quite. You will love the taste of food which is prepared by the expert chef with full patience so that you can have the perfect dining experience."

"An awesome café which is perfect for family gatherings and get-togethers. The interiors of the Birds Blooms and Café is very beautiful and it feels awesome to spend time here. The coffee is very refreshing and you get energy for moving to your destination."

"This is the most amazing café in all over the city, best menu; delicious coffee- kiwi style, yoghurt and a very good range of breakfast and lunch are available which you can choose to make your day. They present the food in very innovative style and people love to have the dinner and lunch in such a peaceful and quiet ambience. Staff and the café management are very supportive and friendly."

"At the pointy end of our list we have Ciabatta Restaurant, one of only a few world-class dining offerings in Tropical North QLD and a true dining “experience” in every sense of the word. Providing a menu that can best be described as “adventurous”, there's almost guaranteed to be something here that even the most experienced culinary connoisseur has not yet tried. The use of a range of individual ingredients and components that initially may seem “strange” to mix come together beautifully to form dishes that will provide a unique taste for your tongue to delight in."

"The Beet Bar is a true haven for vegetarians, vegans, and lovers of gluten free, dairy free and paleo brunch options. They are all about fresh, wholesome produce, and specialise in delicious acai bowls and raw food. Drinks-wise the juices and smoothies are to die for, and they serve up excellent kombucha and cold-pressed coffee."

"For more cocktails in what may seem an unlikely place, hit up Shaw & Co Char & Bar. While they are best known for their chargrilled, meaty menu, they also pour a mean cocktail with some pretty unique flavours. Our favourite would have to be The Original “Fairy Floss Windmill” which tastes exactly as it sounds, and The Mistress featuring lychee and, of course, a whole lot of passion."

"The best way to appreciate this hidden gem is to visit it when you are really hungry for lunch or dinner. You can choose from among a variety of snacks, salads, sandwiches, chicken wings and some delicious fruity cocktails."

"The Rambutan isn't just a hotel, it's also got a great restaurant. The instagrammable space offers pool views on one side and city views on the other, and it's a great place to enjoy a unique DIY taco kit and a jug of one of their best cocktails."

"Offering a rooftop outdoor pool and river views, Rambutan is located in Townsville, 350 metres from the city centre, in the heart of the vibrant nightlife district. Free WiFi access is available. All rooms come with a flat-screen TV."

"The hostel location keeps things casual, although the well-to-do don't mind dropping by to experience the infectiously happy buzz. A long beer and wine list, as well as live music..."
