From soul-hugging Cuban food and sweet Belgian waffles to the perfect Christmas ham, the deliciousness and diversity of international cuisine can be found right here at Lakeside Joondalup.

Coco Cubano

Looking to smash a craving or need a mid-Christmas shopping pick-me-up? Coco Cubano, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, captures the simplicity, soul and flavour of Cuban street food with a colourful menu inspired by the flavours of the Southern states and Central America. Using the slow cook sensibilities of barbecue with the sweet, savory, spicy, saucy, and sticky flavours of the region, expect classic Cuban sandwiches updated with local ingredients, the perfect combination of prawns, chorizo and haloumi, crunchy fish tacos, Havana beef and sweet tangy Cugan Ropa (stewed beef that cooks until it falls apart into long strings of meat - yum). Wash it all down with killer cocktails, and round it off with sweet treats like churros and waffles. This is true comfort food the whole family will love to eat.

Brotzeit German Bier Bar and Restaurant

The wafting smells of traditional German foods and beverages bring a piece of Germany to Australia. With restaurants in seven countries, Brotzeit Joondalup is the place to go for authentic German cuisine and world-famous German beer in a contemporary setting. Start with a Bavarian Pretzel or serve of crisp onion rings, then dig into authentic German nosh from schnitzels, sausages, and dark ale Shepard’s pie, to sauerkraut, bratwurst, beef cheeks and mash, or opt for something lighter like a fresh Caesar or Mediterranean salad. Leave room for a serve of next-level Belgian waffles with cherries, chocolate sauce, burned marshmallows and ice cream, or a slice of decadent German Black Forest Cake. The more-than-impressive drinks menu includes a wide range of German beers including draft, mixes and bottled, as well as European wines and Schnapps. They have pulled out all the stops this Christmas with drinks specials like Mulled Wine and a Christmas Mojito
Kids are in to German food too and will love the chicken goujons, battered fish, and squid and chips.
