All of that wonderful seafood hasn't gone unnoticed by the chefs in Toukley's ethnic restaurants. Copperpot, for example, does a wonderful ginger chilli stir fry of prawns or fish spiced with capsicum and onion and a secret chilli sauce. Salt and pepper squid is another seafood favourite, while a spicy beef achari will delight meat lovers. Vegetarians are not forgotten either, with a delicious kadai paneer made with diced onion and served in a thick gravy. It's a popular spot on the Central Coast for Indian food fans, so make sure you book on Quandoo to secure your table.

With lots of watersports and some great surfing beaches such as Lakes Beach, it's easy to build up quite an appetite. Thankfully, there are lots of Toukley restaurants close to all of the most popular beaches, so you can quickly refuel with a tasty lunch before continuing your activities. Many restaurants in Toukley focus on casual dining, so there's no need to dress up in order to enjoy some excellent food.
