3. Cafe 8.98
Cafe 8.98 takes things to the next level. From their name you may think it’s simply a coffee shop, but we can assure you it’s much more than that. This cafe focuses on health foods.
Not only does this place offer a trendy selection of vegan & vegetarian dishes like breakfast bowls and clean smoothies, but also traditional comfort foods like Beer Battered Fish ‘n’ Chips, Chilli Beef Nachos, and Gourmet Hamburgers.
Perfect place to come for a healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their menu is massive. You can probably come here every day and try something new. The food is fresh and clean. Coffee is pretty decent too. We love the atmosphere here, it’s very welcoming. There is a reason why this place has over 1,000 review on Google.

Craving some mouth watering steaks? Carnivore Steak & Grill will make you feel less homesick with their incredible dishes. This restaurant offers high quality steak with generous portions and a good selection of sides like potatoes, salads, and bread.
The ambiance here is quite nice and cozy. The road isn’t as busy as the main strip, so you can expect a much more peaceful time here. The presentation of food is something out of a food magazine so you can rest assured your photos will look beautiful. The staff will go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience here. I highly recommend this place.
