The food here was quite tasty - bread and dips for entree. For mains we had a pizza and chips, other members of the party all enjoyed their food which included Burgers, salads and fish and chips. There were a couple of things that let this place down - they seemed to be struggling with the amount of people that were there. Although the food arrived promptly, we were all pretty squashed in, and we also observed the owner or manager of this place being quite rude to his staff and some of the customers, including my father being told off because his seat was at a funny angle - only because we were so cramped to begin with. We also had some meals that were missed, delivered to the wrong table or delivered minus the required cutlery On a quieter day this place would be ideal, But i don't think i will rush back there on a Sunny Sunday.

Positioned on the main road through Newport, this shop attracts a number of locals and beach-goers wanting to quench their thirst or stop by for an afternoon delight. There is seating available both out the front, in the shop and out the back. The premises are modern and clean, providing customers with a decent break from the sweltering summer sun. The Cocoa Bar also makes for a decent coffee run after the weekly shopping!

Along with a headache that I earned last night courtesy of a bottle of Pinot. Brekky here is a very laid back affair. No rush, lots of people air kissing each other and no shortage of rich old coots inappropriately dressed trying to move the tables around and just behaving in that appalling manner that comes with too much money and too many miles on the clock. Free range scrambled eggs and bacon - headache gone! One of the old codgers just asked for his coffee to be 'extra hot' Put him in a home.

With multiple bars and food options the menu was a bit disappointing to be honest. Food being served in cardboard boxes was just a bit unappealing when you are seated outside with gorgeous views. It's also a real waste of packaging. My burger was ok and the food was pretty average for the price. I would have expected a bit more considering we were there long before the crows arrived. Staff are super nice and friendly and the ambience is good. The water spray outside is a nice touch to cool you down on a warm day. The band playing that day was pretty bad and unfortunately we were sitting very close to them which did not help. I am sure I will be back again and I hope they move to a more sustainable way of serving food in the future.

So I used to think that one of the only places to really go to in Mona was Coffee Brothers. Now,…read moredon't get me wrong the coffee is better at Coffee Brothers, however, Beco's food is quite good - specifically as it is not too expensive. This place is generally busy, so you might not be able to get a seat - saying that it is also extremely small. But it is worth having a seat and trying food. Not only is it reasonable priced, but you get good portions and the food is good. I will definitely be coming here again when I am up in the Northern Beaches. Now as I stated, it is crowded and so you might have to wait for a bit for the food - but trust me it is worth the wait. The coffee is not the best in the Beaches, but it is not bad either - saying that after I went to Coffee Brothers to get my caffeine fix, but I have been told many times that I am a coffee snub... so you might think that is the best thing that you have tried in your life. Anyway, it is worth giving this place a go, if you haven't

It's a pretty simple layout with almost bench seating across one side and a few table sprawling onto the street. Clearly everyone else knew about this place because there is always a a couple people hanging around. They serve allpress beans and dish up quite a good cuppa for 'burbs coffee'- in fact it's the best coffee I've found in Avalon so far. I came here after a post beach lunch and went for the spinach, goat cheese, cherry tomato and avocado on rye toast which was pretty awesome- a solid half a star of this rating is attributed to that super tasty rye bread alone. They also do fresh juices- I tried the pineapple, mint, ginger and something juice which was pretty tasty. They staff were really chilled and friendly and the guy didn't care at all that I changed my order like 3 times. They were also going above and beyond to help give a recommendation to a couple not from around here about a nice restaurant in the area. Really enjoyed this place and kicking myself I didn't discover it 10 years ago!

This cafe is only a few mins from my home but I only recently discovered it. Located at the Marina…read moreat Bayview, you'd be forgiven for missing this cafe from the street as it sits on the waterfront side of the building. Entry is from the small car park to the left side of the building (not the main council car park located to the right). I visited on a cold and rainy day, possibly the worst time to take advantage of the location, and it was still lovely. Warmed by an outdoor heater, the seating is outdoor undercover. Orders are placed at the counter, but food is delivered to the table. Seating is comfortable but not luxurious. The staff were very friendly and highly attentive. The menu is all day breakfast or lunch, prices aren't cheap but based on quality of fare I would say they are reasonable. I ordered a full breakfast consisting of bacon, sausage, egg, mushrooms, toast and hash brown. The menu price was $20 which is at the upper end of what I'd expect to pay for a cafe breakfast. I asked for them to hold the hash brown as I didn't want it. What arrived was a mountain of good food. 3 full bacon rashers, 2 sunny side up eggs, 2 beef sausages, 3 slices of premium loaf toast, a halved grilled tomato and sauted mushroom. I have to assume they added extra bacon in lieu of the hash brown because there was no room left on the plate for anything else. It was delicious, pure and simple. Perhaps it was the cold weather, perhaps it was the cosy warmth of the heater, perhaps it was waiting until midday for breakfast. Even accounting for all those things, the food was delicious. The bacon was premium quality, the eggs were free range, the sausages were gourmet, everything was cooked perfectly. We asked for a coffee and that came in a big mug, ready to warm the hands, perfectly suited to the day. Maybe it was a one off to have such a good experience, and it helps when you're not expecting it, but I will be heading back here.

This restaurant is Asian vegetarian with a few fusion dishes but most of the menu is meant to be shared. So come down with a group so you can order everything on the menu because I can vouch that every dish I've had has blown me away in terms of flavour, texture, presentation. The standout is the roasted duck & buk Choy which tastes, smells & feels like duck, the hot pot selections are so comforting & the noodle soup bowls are massive & so light & tasty. I can't recommend this place enough, even if the idea of vegetarian makes your stomach growl out of hunger this place will honestly leave u satisfied & in awe that vegetarian food can be this amazing.
