Give Gig Harbor’s “The Great Australian Bite” Restaurant a Try!
A few months back, I posted a blog comparing Australia’s Gold Coast to Gig Harbor. You may remember that there weren’t too many comparisons. Well, I’ve just found another similarity.
A new restaurant, or cafe, recently opened on Gig Harbor’s waterfront. The Great Australian Bite is a small Australian bakery that serves up big tastes. When I was in Australia, I found that Aussies really treasure their meat pies. The Great Australian Bite offers a better assortment of meat pies than anywhere I found in Australia.
You can choose from the standard beef pie, gourmet steak pie, chicken and asparagus, vegetable (I know that’s not meat), BBQ chicken and more. Prices for the pies range from $1.60 for a mini pie to $18.00 for the family sized pie. I enjoyed a great breakfast pie for only $3.75. They also have sausage rolls, spinach rolls, great pastries, coffee, tea, espresso, and more.
I strongly encourage you to take a beautiful walk along Gig Harbor’s waterfront and stop in for some great international food. Gig Harbor isn’t exactly known for a great variety of foods, but The Great Australian Bite fills a nice niche for those looking for an inexpensive, tasty way to fill up!

Ooops…did I make the dessert photo the biggest?

We were fortunate to just spend 4 days in Gig Harbor visiting family. It was a great time, with 2 trips to the Great Australian Bite … well worth it each time!! Great little pies and good hot chocolate, along with a very friendly owner. Thanks, Mike, for the good service! And thanks, Matt, for the recommendation!

I am an ex-Aussie in Clallam Bay, Washington. I had a gentleman come in to our Food Co-op last week who referred me to you. “Two dollar latte Nelson” he said to quote. He tells me your meat pies are something else. I have not had one in many years, just the look in the web page is tempting.
Do you deal with Vegemite? I get it from Texas, but would love to get it through you if you do that.
