About Panda Blairgowrie

Unwind steps from the sand with fresh coastal seafood, house pasta, and shaken cocktails in Blairgowrie. Straight off Point Nepean Road, this beachside dining room welcomes sandy road-trippers and salty four-legged companions into an airy, unpretentious retreat. Regulars steer newcomers toward the pan-seared barramundi and the blue swimmer crab spaghetti—a plate that lingers in conversation long after dinner wraps. The kitchen pivots effortlessly around dietary needs, from coeliac-safe pasta specials to custom requests, while the floor team keeps tables supplied with warm blankets and water bowls out on the breezy patio. As the afternoon winds down, early arrivals gather for happy hour espresso martinis before tucking into warm baked cookies straight from the oven.

  • Dog-Friendly Coastal Patio: Outdoor seating features dedicated water bowls and cozy blankets for patio dining with pets.
  • Fresh Seafood & House Pasta: Blue swimmer crab spaghetti and pan-seared barramundi highlight an ocean-focused dinner lineup.
  • Adaptable Dietary Options: Coeliac-friendly gluten-free pasta specials and custom meal modifications are easily accommodated.

    Guests can take advantage of daily 7-day happy hour specials on signature drinks like espresso martinis alongside freshly prepared seafood and blue swimmer crab pasta.

    We got there just before happy hour ended so I tried their espresso martini which was also pretty delicious and not watered down whatsoever despite the price, a genuine happy hour offer!
