Zebu is the latest addition on the restaurant/bar scene in Port Macquarie. And a good one at that. The joint is divided into a mighty sophisticated restaurant and an atmospheric bar. Both serve excellent food, and a tantalising array of cocktails on offer. They're $15 a pop, but on a Wednesday or Saturday night you just can't go without drinks in the waterfront bar.
The bar menu has quite on it: Zebu steak burgers, chickpea and lentil burgers, salads, quesadillas, salt and pepper squid and a delightful array of pizzas. From Wednesday to Sunday, the bar hosts happy hours (times vary). Each has a theme and a selected meal and selected drinks on special. Thursdays, for example, is ronas and ritas night from 5-8pm. Coronas are $5, Margaritas $6 and a plate on nachos comes in at $9. Their $10 pizzas on Wednesdays and Saturdays are my favourites.
When mum and I went for lunch, to no surprise we ended up basking in the sun, overlooking the river for a bit over an hour. I ordered a mango smoothie, which was divine! I am very picky about smoothies and this had just the right amount of fruit. We then ate the quesadillas and Zebu fillet steak, pepperoni, smoked ham, bacon, roast chicken, Zebu BBQ sauce and mozzarella ($21). Both were full of flavour and we couldn't finish either of the dishes, if that says anything about the helpings. We ended up taking half a pizza to Dad at work. The quesadillas in particular were accompanied by the most flavoursome chilli, papaya and sesame seed salad ($18). Perhaps a bit expensive but you pay for the atmosphere and the amazing decor- the walls a decked out with fur, there are the most comfortable leather chairs as well as electronic fireplaces and a floorboard ceiling.
As with most bars, you have to go to the counter to order and pay but the food is brought out to you. The service is friendly; sometimes slow but it doesn't really bother you that much when you consider the good company and the view!
