A local delight. The perfect setting under the big moreton bay fig and right on the water for a family brunch or Sunday breakfast. It can get super busy on Mothers day though as we found out after not booking in a few years back, so definitely plan ahead

I love this place! I have breakfast here regularly. It has a great view of the bay. On the weekend it's a good idea to book a table and ask for one on the water.
