There is a great selection of wholesome meals such as lamb shanks and pastas. But you can still get a good old pub snitty. The prices are very reasonable and the servings are large.

I highly recommend coming down here trying out the food and having a quite drink.

From me, the highest recommendation to scoot on out to Maroubra Junction and dine at Kitchen by…read moreJamie. I like food with a story, and I'm charmed by this one, as years ago, Jamie and Daniela invited me (and some friends) over to their place for the concept 'Dine with...', a sort of dinner party with a professional chef. It combined wonderful food that you couldn't make yourself with the comfortable feeling of home. That same feeling has been transferred to their new restaurant, that feels both high-end and polished, but also like hanging out with friends or family. It was all the more comforting that we stopped by for Sunday lunch when there are the Sunday roast specials. We couldn't resist. Possibly the largest Yorkshire pudding that I've ever seen, a very rich gravy, perfectly crisp roasted potatoes, carrots, green beans and for me: roast pork (delicious, tender, perfect) and for husband: roast beef (tasty, he said). Our vegetarian guest had homemade gnocchi, the first time she'd tried it, and was impressed with it, as well as the generous sprinkle of almonds. The dishes we had did remind me of my first meeting with Jamie and Daniela. The food is beautiful and of a quality that's clear a professional is in charge here (he describes his cuisine as combining British and French). It's beautifully plated on gorgeous plates. But it's also not fussy or complicated food, and the real emphasis is on food that is perfectly tasty. We managed to get through the desserts too (that came with the roast dinner). A rocky road brownie, replete with marshmallows and dried fruit; and one of the best sticky date puddings I've ever had. The food really is wonderful and the hospitality unbeatable. Do go check it out!

Most cafes these days don't give anything to customer service-not these people-they have the best customer service I've experienced in Sydney.

Coffees all come with a complimentary biscuit which are delicious! A value added product well placed. And did I mention the food is delicious?! Can't wait to try everything on the menu.

We're always on the hunt for somewhere to try that we haven't been before. When our personal…read moretrainer recommended Tradewinds in Maroubra, we were keen to try, given that it's also local for us. We are surprised that we hadn't been before. The restaurant can easily be found on Maroubra road with ample parking around. Whilst the restaurant is quite large, and can accomodate couples, families and groups, we recommend booking to guarantee a table. One of the best things about the restaurant is that the staff are just so darn nice. They all appear to love their job, be eager to help and offer suggestions as to what to order. We felt welcome and appreciated the quality service. Furthermore, the service was efficient, with food being delivered in good timing. Food wise, Tradewinds is a modern restaurant / bistro in Maroubra specialising in hearty food; meats on the grill, burgers, pastas, pizzas, salads and plenty of specials with influences from around the world. They have a good range of meats and we absolutely loved their smoked ribs, basted in a delicious - sauce. We ordered the pork ribs on one occasion and the meat platter on another. The meat platter also comes with steak, lamb souvlaki pieces and some of their tasty beer battered steakhouse fries. We also the flash fried salt and pepper calamari, served with fresh rocket and creamy aioli. The kofta special was also delicious; the kofta served with pita, fries and salad. Tradewinds also does plenty of desserts, tea and coffee as well as brunch on weekends. The restaurant suits all demographics - young and old and perfect for any sort of catch up. We recommend trying out this family owned business for the food is great, portions are generous and service is excellent.

If so, this place is going a little American, Maybe they're aiming for the California-surfer feel. I suppose it fits. But after all the effort, I don't know how Zebra's fit in at all. There's only surfing pictures on the wall. Anyway, enough about Marketing philosophy. The place is cool. Maybe a bit of a step up as a café compred to the others on Maroubra, but not by much. I suppose the difference is that is set up mostly for dine in, although it does do take away. You'd be looking at paying around $10 - $15 for a meal, and there's the basic café menu, with a bit more. I guess the standard in Marbourba is for simplicity, but I get the feel they want to sophisticate the simplicity. But its still pretty simple. Do I make sense at all?
