FOOD MADE GOOD – 3 STARS!

Pipit Restaurant is proud to join the first three Australian restaurants who have achieved the highest 3-star level of The Sustainable Restaurant Association by the international Sustainable Restaurant Association

We’re excited to be the first NSW New South Wales Destination NSW and regional Northern Rivers/ The Tweed venue to do so, and join our admired 3-star industry peers at Brae (VIC) and The Salopian Inn (SA)

The FMG certification builds upon Pipit’s ongoing work also previously noted in the Tweed Shire Council Sustainability Awards, Seafood Industry Australia National Seafood Excellence Awards, Destination North Coast Tourism Business Leaders Award and as ambassadors to Sustainable Seafood Guide

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING:
A key part of Pipit’s open-kitchen, dining and sustainability ethos is transparency and sharing. Since 2021 our website has shared a detailed Sustainability Policy, documenting both actions (and importantly gaps!) relating to topics of SOURCING, SOCIETY, ENVIRONMENT etc. In this same spirit, we’re also very happy to share our FMG report and lessons learnt to any other Australia venues and chefs who might want to know more about it too.

There’s 25 other Australian venues also working through FMG and we’d love to see and support sustainability leadership grow in our industry

Thanks Australian Gourmet Traveller for including us in The Tweed dining guide - alongside our peers at Potager, Farm & Co, Bistro Livi, Paper Daisy, Husk Distillery, Bar Bruto.
What a GREAT dining scene we have locally!!

"With award-winning restaurants, unique farm-to-table experiences and Australia’s only sugarcane distillery, this is a postcode worthy of weekend escape."

Pristine beaches and lush hinterlands aside, the Tweed is fast evolving into one of Australia’s most exciting regional food destinations.

Congrats to The Tweed region for making the Lonely Planet Top 25 in the World List! Thanks Time Out Sydney for including Pipit as a place to visit:

"Spanning 37 kilometres of pristine coast and hinterland, this laid-back shire links coastal hubs like Kingscliff and Cabarita Beach with quiet riverside towns and scenic mountain villages. Most holidaygoers head here to relax on its long blonde beaches or dine at award-winning coastal restaurants – including Pipit in Pottsville and Bistro Livi in Murwillumbah – but there’s far more to the Tweed than sand and seafood.

Adventure seekers can hike through lush green hills formed by an ancient shield volcano, cycle sections of the 132-kilometre Northern Rivers Rail Trail and tackle the newly opened four-day Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk. For a dose of culture, you can explore the Margaret Olley Art Centre, admire Murwillumbah’s Art Deco buildings or taste native ingredients on an Indigenous-led river cruise with Tweed Escapes."

The Tweed in Northern NSW and the Red Centre were both spotlighted on the 2027 hotlist

PIPIT X PALETTE at HOTA
A behind-the-scenes glimpse of last week at the Gold Coast with Palette Restaurant Home of the Arts Experience Gold Coast for a fun, immersive night that included
> a Gyotaku Art demo with Ben Devlin on level 5
> outdoor fire-side cooking and canapés
> Chefs Q&A panel talk
> 8 course menu with special wine pairing
> 70+pax room AND a special VIP kitchen table inside a large Art Gallery elevator...you don’t see that everyday!!!
It’s a big space/ scale that we don’t normally get to play at - and gives great insight on how well their teams design guest experiences across so many zones too.

Special THANKS to Dayan Hartill Law Dayan, Jacob, Letizia, Tom and their teams for hosting, supporting and sharing
Big THANKS to all our shared local Gold Coast and Tweed Coast diners, it was lovely to see familiar faces both in Bundall and in Pottsville too.

🐟GYOTAKU ART.
