Spiced prawns, Tandoor on Tweed – Tweed Coast

Try some traditional Indian cuisine that offers spicy curries and amazing flavour combinations with many health benefits. The Indian dishes are prepared by talented chefs who have thorough understanding of ways to make these ancient dishes thrive by incorporating local produce. An ingredient utilised extensively on this delicious menu is yoghurt which is rich in calcium and helps stave off osteoporosis. It also contains good bacteria that will assist in maintaining your overall health and help diminish age-related intestinal illnesses. Order the chicken tikka marinated in yoghurt and mint sauce or the Korma, a tasty combination of fresh veggies, cooked in yoghurt, cream, nuts and exotic spices. Even try dipping your fresh Naan bread in the yoghurt sauce with shaved cucumber.

Baja Cantina Kingscliff – Tweed Coast

This is a family owned, little slice of Mexico right in the heart of Kingscliff. They have an amazing Mexican chef who has true understanding of the authenticity of flavour combinations to create the perfect menu. At Baja Cantina, you have the option to dine in or take away. They regularly have live music to compliment the amazing Mexican beverages you can enjoy from their fully equipped bar. They also have open mic nights for your entertainment which go hand in hand with a flagon of their refreshing Sangria. If you’re all about health and wellbeing choose the succulent fish taco, burrito or enchilada packed with fleshy and omega-rich fish. Fish has major anti-ageing properties because it’s packed with good fats that will protect you from abnormal heart rhythms and high cholesterol. The good news is this red wine based beverage consumed in moderation will assist in protecting you from diabetes and age-related memory loss. Research has shown red wine contains a chemical called resveratrol, a compound that works to activate your genes and slow cellular ageing.
