Local tip
Check the preferred dining format when booking, as the seafood restaurant and teppanyaki grill operate as separate experiences.

Tempest Seafood Restaurant and Teppanyaki Grill brings together waterfront dining, seafood, alfresco drinks and Japanese-style teppanyaki at Scarborough Harbour on the Redcliffe Peninsula. Set beside Boat Harbour on Bird O'Passage Parade, the venue overlooks a working harbour where trawlers are moored nearby, connecting the restaurant with the local seafood trade.

The main restaurant focuses on seafood, with a menu style suited to diners looking for a dedicated seafood meal in a waterside setting. Seafood is supplied directly from trawlers at the harbour, giving the venue a clear connection to the region's fishing activity. The setting is relaxed and suited to lunch, dinner and occasions where the waterfront forms part of the dining experience.

For a more informal visit, Tempest also offers an alfresco area and bar. This provides an option for drinks or a casual meal by the harbour, without the more structured format of the main restaurant. It works for diners wanting to pause by the water, meet friends for refreshments or include a seafood-focused stop in a day around the Redcliffe Peninsula.

The teppanyaki grill offers a different style of dining, with cooking taking place at the grill and chefs providing the activity at the table. It suits diners seeking a lively meal rather than a conventional restaurant setting, while adding variety for groups with different preferences. Teppanyaki bookings operate separately from the seafood restaurant, so the chosen format should be confirmed when arranging a visit.

Tempest is a practical choice for seafood diners, teppanyaki fans, casual drinkers and visitors who value a harbour location. Gold Coast visitors can make it part of a broader trip to the Brisbane northside and the Redcliffe Peninsula. Online bookings are available, and the venue can also be contacted directly for questions about the most suitable dining area, group arrangements or dietary needs.
