With its unbeatable foreshore location, here life is literally a beach, especially with a cold drink in hand. Cafe-style breakfasts and lunches hit the spot, while a more upmarket modern Australian menu of seafood and rib-eye steaks is on for dinner. Come at happy hour (3pm to 6pm) for $8 pints and $12 cocktails, or swing by sunset for a bottle of prosecco.
