The East Coast


The only hazards here are the view – of the Hazards – and the possibility of lingering too long over breakfast. Mornings are eggy and evenings are pizza-focused, but in interesting ways: poached eggs with beetroot hummus and dukkah; smoked salmon, gummy shark and bocconcini. Most of the seating is on the Hazards-facing deck, but would you want to be anywhere else?
