The Stunned Mullet

I have to give this restaurant a perfect 10/10 rating. I want to commend the chefs, kitchen staff, waiters, waitresses, and front of house staff for their exceptional service. My wife, daughter, and I are food lovers and have dined at many places in the Hunter Valley, Sydney, and Melbourne. We have our favorite spots, but I must say we have found a new must-visit place. The three of us shared 4 appetizers, 4 main courses, 3 desserts, and a bottle of red wine. The menu was so appealing that we wanted to try almost everything! The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and the attention to detail in each dish was truly impressive. Thank you to the entire team for providing us with such a wonderful dining experience.

The food and service at The Stunned Mullet were consistently excellent and definitely worth visiting twice. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and made our experience a delight. A must-visit if you are staying in Port Macquarie.

The restaurant uses quite a few 'Asian ' ingredients but is not bound by the rules. They have their own interpretation the result was overall good although not always outstanding. I always order Patagonian toothfish in a restaurant when it is on the menu. Here they steamed it, and the quality of the fish itself shone through. I did feel that the fat was still locked in the flesh, which, although very tasty, would be even better if the fat was released. I must admit my favourite way of cooking toothfish is still something similar to 'Saikyoyaki ' (to marinate it in miso or koji then grill it), which can release the fat from the flesh and highlight the sweetness of the fish.

Heard a lot of good things about this place and then I was told by a friend that we have to go food and wine fantastic. First bottle was amazing perfectly chosen by the owner of the menu is highly recommended specially the two fish was my favourite.

Rating: 6 out of 5 stars. This restaurant is exceptional in every way. From the delicious flavors to the impeccable service, lovely decor, and the surprise of having German and Austrian staff. The location is perfect, the food is fantastic, the wine list is amazing, and the atmosphere is top-notch. The dinner menu offers a set price for three courses with multiple options to choose from for each course. We enjoyed dishes like prawns, kingfish, scallops, linguini with prawns, and chocolate ganache, all of which were incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. The wine selection was outstanding, with a smooth Gruener Veltliner 2017 from Bernhard Ott standing out. For dessert, we indulged in a port-style wine and a vin doux naturelle. This restaurant is a must-visit when in Port Macquarie. Highly recommended! XO
