Healthy Dining in Yeppoon: About Relax in Paradise

---

Welcome to Relax in Paradise, your coastal restaurant and haven for healthy dining in the heart of Yeppoon, Queensland.

At Relax in Paradise, our mission is simple: to provide fresh, wholesome, and beautifully balanced meals that nourish both the body and the soul. Inspired by the serene surroundings of our coastal town, we’ve created a space that’s warm, welcoming, and filled with good vibes. A place where you can truly relax and feel like you're in paradise.

At the heart of Relax in Paradise is Chef Erich Dorian, whose culinary journey began with a deep passion for food and a commitment to mastering the craft. Erich's path to becoming a chef started at Caffe Mille Luci in Brooklyn, New York, USA, where he first gained the knowledge that would change the course of his career. Under the mentorship of Executive Chef Mario Gentile, Chef Erich Dorian was introduced to the art of cooking and began developing the skills that would define his future.

As Erich's knowledge grew, he sought out opportunities to work in a variety of kitchens, learning from diverse cooking styles and techniques. Each experience added a new layer to his understanding of food, allowing him to refine his approach and develop a unique culinary perspective. Through these years of learning, Chef Erich gained a deep respect for the balance between creativity and tradition, which would later shape the vision for Relax in Paradise.

Chef Erich’s goal with Relax in Paradise is to create a space where healthy dining isn’t just a quick bite – it’s an experience. In today’s fast-paced world, we often forget the true joy of savoring a thoughtfully prepared meal. Erich’s vision is to bring back that joy, offering dishes that balance flavor, freshness, and nutrition.

“Food has changed over the years, but the joy of sitting down to a meal that’s both delicious and nourishing is timeless. We’ve designed a menu that reflects both the evolution of food and the importance of quality, balance, and flavor.” – Chef Erich Dorian

At our coastal restaurant, crafted by Chef Erich Dorian, our menu is thoughtfully designed with everyone in mind – whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, or vegan. Choose from 12 unique salad creations with optional protein add-ons, a variety of vibrant brunch dishes, delicious appetizers, and our signature High Tea Racking experience. Not to mention our delightful handcrafted desserts, perfect for healthy dining. 

We are passionate about using only the freshest produce. All our juices, smoothies, and cocktails are made from real ingredients to consistently deliver the best in taste, nutrition, and quality every time.
