Two buoys

Two Buoys, now run by three boys, is located in Spinola Bay, St Julian’s. Colourful artwork and nautical-themed ornaments stand out on the whitewashed walls, with natural wood chairs and tables giving it a bright taverna feel, and making it the perfect spot to enjoy a bright sunny day or snuggle up for some fine, hearty grub in the chilly months.

The eclectic menu is dotted with a number of Australian favourites. It includes some creative brunch options such as the Port Melbourne Pancakes, bagels and waffles. They keep it 100% Aussie with their prawns on the barbie but also dedicate a number of dishes to vegetarian and gluten-free diners. The Tittybong Tower includes potato rosti, beetroot hummus avocado and tahini youghurt, and it will melt the heart of any vegetarian. The wine list includes the Running Duck Merlot and Chenin Blanc selection from South Africa.
