Fleet - Brunswick Heads

Within the laidback seaside town of Brunswick Heads, an exciting trend is emerging – there are pockets of understated food and wine appreciation creeping into the town and subtly giving it a high-five. Located in Fingal Street, Fleet restaurant is the newest, hottest foodie-wine bar to surface.

What strikes immediately is the clever mix of raw materials used in the long, narrow space … concrete, stone, timber, stainless steel and clay. Next, you can’t help but notice the attractive wine display, the activity from the open kitchen and the warmth of the staff, led by the gracious Astrid McCormack.

Head Chef Josh Lewis presents a one page menu with plates designed to share. On this occasion we select the melt-in-your-mouth lamb’s tongue with celery and buckwheat as well as the succulent octopus with pomelo and fresh peas. With locally produced hand-formed tableware supporting so many striking ingredients, Fleet is well prepared to deliver a memorable food experience. Astrid and her staff chat easily about the unique style of wines to match, and the stories behind the appealing array of international and Australian boutique labels.

Open Thursdays through to Mondays from 3pm, the intimate space is the perfect spot to catch up with a close friend.
