Counter Eatery - Burleigh Waters

We've visited this place twice now and it never disappoints. Brilliant French cuisine, great coffee and friendly staff. It isn't nearly as busy as it should be.

We have eaten here a number of times and we love it. The food is always fresh and delicious and they have some yummy meals for people with food allergies and vegetarians. Discovered the turmeric latte with almond milk on my last visit and loved it! The staff are always friendly and helpful. We'll be back again and again.

LOVE THIS PLACE FOR BREAKFAST Awesome food Great coffee. Excellent service We keep coming back. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We were looking for somewhere different in our local area that offered delicious food for Friday night dinner with friends. Read some great reviews for Counter Eatery and learnt they had just recently commenced a dinner menu 3 nights per week. Wow what a Dining Experience; good service, attentive & friendly waitress, wonderful French gourmet menu selection; all meals cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, arriving to our table in such a timely manner to enjoy without fault. You select small and large plates for your order, which are meant to be shared. Hard to pick which one was the hero dish; the sand crab cakes & chilli jam, or cauliflower fritters in lime yogurt, the duck confit or my favourite beef brochette with bearnaise sauce and served with the most amazing oven baked potato gratin you have ever tasted. Did I mention the beautiful full French flavours and the tasty house made jams and sauces they serve. Undoubtedly all dishes served to our table were just divine and for desert, we all agreed, the best ever vanilla creme brûlée we had eaten. It was so nice to enjoy something different to the usual restaurant menus on offer, we could not find one thing to fault about our whole dining experience. Large modern premise, tastefully decorated, casual but upmarket atmosphere, can dine inside or outdoor on the veranda, licensed venue and reasonable prices. Will definitely make this place a regular for us and after reading the breakfast and lunch menus, can't wait to go back to try more of their wonderful food offerings. Highly recommend - affordable quality dining experience.

Tucked away along Gooding Drive at Merrimac is a delightful eatery that proved a real surprise. Great menu with different taste combinations all with fresh produce and beautifully presented. Even the plates were different to the usual white standard ones. There seems to be a little French influence here and our hosts were welcoming and extremely busy. It was great to get avo on sourdough that wasn't smashed to pieces. All our dishes were really tasty and fresh and congrats go to the chef.Go along sometime and relax and enjoy this great little cafe.
