Lightly crumbed chicken burger on Turkish bread and served with avocado salsa and salad

I visited the Fat Fish restaurant and bistro with my grandparents for lunch on a cold day last week. I am going to start by saying that although this restaurant as the optimum position for summer, it really isn't the best for winter. Positioned almost literally on Rainbow beach, the sea breezes were unbearable for unaware diners who chose to sit on the balcony.

I am in LOVE with the breakfast menu, especially the breakfast bruschetta. The lunch menu, on the other hand, has not changed since summer and includes the likes of a frittata, burgers, prawn and caesar salads, crumbed or grilled fish and chips and coriander potato cakes. I never really order burgers when I got out, but had tried everything else really, so went with the chicken burger (replacing the chips with a side of salad, of course). 

Like most cafe burgers, it was impossible to eat this as an actual burger due to size and construction. Moreover, the chicken was dry, the use of lettuce was a bit excessive and, apart from the spicy avocado salsa, the meal was not that flavoursome. 

The coffee here is okay (I had a skim cappuccino), however it did take them a while to bring out our coffees- an estimated 20 minutes.

Overall, I don't think this place is the best for winter, but do recommend it for a lovely summer's breakfast or a coffee get-together overlooking picturesque and family-friendly Rainbow Beach.

The Fat Fish also serves dinner that I am yet to experience
