The Courtyard at The Co-Op brings that relaxed backyard feel to Gerringong’s dining scene. Set within a beautifully restored heritage building, the casual alfresco space feels like gathering at a friend’s place – complete with regular live music and a children’s play area for the little ones. Executive Chef Simon Evans creates a seasonal menu showcasing native Australian ingredients and South Coast produce, including wood-fired flatbreads from their Marana oven. Open Friday to Sunday, walk-ins welcome – it’s that kind of place.
