99 on Park.

For those seeking the perfect blend of French elegance and warm hospitality, "99 on Park" is the go-to destination for discerning palates and those who appreciate exquisite cuisine. Setting a new bar for fine dining on the Coffs Coast, every detail reflects a commitment to flavour and culture but with unique charm. Restaurant manager Leah and Head Chef Loic are the dynamic husband and wife duo behind 99 on Park. As they recount their story of spending years travelling and working in service worldwide, it becomes clear that this restaurant was a chance to culminate shared passion, creativity, and a commitment to excellence. With high ceilings, rich coloured timbers, scrumptious table linen and soft candlelight, this intimate space resonates with refined tastes and is the ideal destination for a memorable evening. The meticulously curated menu is a delightful fusion of classic French dishes and modern innovations, showcasing the best French-inspired cuisine with a contemporary twist. The seasonal menu promises an authentic dining experience, ensuring only ingredients ready for consumption make their way to your plate. "Our commitment to seasonality ensures that our patrons experience the peak of freshness in every bite," says Chef Loic. Menu standouts include the Heirloom Tomato Consommé with Australian Goat Cheese, which perfectly exemplifies the marriage of classic French techniques with the richness of local Australian ingredients. Don't miss the enticing Blue Cheese Éclair with pear, walnut, and honey to the Lobster & Tasmanian Salmon Ballotine served with savoy cabbage and celeriac. There is no doubt that this menu is truly a symphony of flavours and textures. Focusing on locally sourced ingredients ensures freshness and a connection to the region. Oysters sourced from Nambucca Oyster Co. are a highlight, promising what Loic describes as "a mouthful of seawater" – a testament to their commitment to offering the freshest produce. When deciding on a base to set up their restaurant, it was between Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie, with Coffs taking the cake for where to call home. "You can grow anything here! It's the best climate in Australia," says Loic.
