The Poyer's
Restaurant
ππ Certainly deserves the high rating and reservation is essential. Service staff are attentive and polite. Food is well presented and tastes just as good. Tables are spaced far apart so you get privacy. Awesome waterfront views and fresh breeze from the sea as we dined. Ask for the daily specials. Kin...

The Little Nel

ππ Great cafe that is just perfect on a sunny day when you can sit outside, but if not, the whole menu is available as takeaway. Dog friendly so you can bring your fur friends with you as well. Food is tasty, coffee is good and the bacon and egg roll for breakfast will make sure that you can go through...

Cellar Cafe Fingal Bay
Cafe
π UPDATED REVIEW: unfortunately the quality of the food here has changed and so is the vibe of the place. Probably due to a change in the staff, the food is not as "home made" and prepared with passion as it was before. So, the food here is now not worth its price anymore, as in addition to the lower...

Longboat Cafe
Cafe
ππ Great Cafe near the beach. Food was good and fresh. Only thing is that if you sit outside there are birds that fly around trying to get into the sugar satchel. So if you are scared of birds don't sit outside

Valhalla Restaurant Bar
Restaurant
π Not very impressed. Ordered take-away and got pork nachos. This is what we got when we payed $30 for the smallest nachos. Definitely not worth the price. Also we got beef instead of pork. I tried calling the restaurant to arrange for the correct item or a refund and no answer. Tried to also leave a...

Rubi Blue Cafe Anna Bay
Cafe
π Food ok but the service from one lady (manager or owner) was extremely poor. Simple questions were greeted with attitude or like I was wasting her time..
While there I heard her tell a table of about 12 people that they couldn't have anymore aoli sauce, the table would've spend nearly $100 on food,...

Nigronis
Italian restaurant
π«€ The food here is mediocre at best, and the experience is quite similar.
Things to note:
There is no reception within the restaurant so there is no means to identify what many of these dishes are. As such I'd recommend you research the dish you would like beforehand.
The wait is close to an hour, m...

Bites On The Bay

π Wow, waited 45 mins for our order, not a really big one, 4 scallops, 4 cocktail fish and chips.After seeing people come and go decided to ask for money back and they said no, after they checked our order hadn't even been started. Pathetic. Off to McDonald's we go. Don't waste your time.

Cafe On the Bay
