“ Nice location sited on the beach foreshore, a relaxing spot for summer brunch. The Big Bathers Breakfast was not over the top, beetroot relish added a nice flavour to the dish. Their mushrooms were flavoursome and poached eggs tasted as good as they looked. However, on a hot morning it gets stuffy inside. More fans would help. ”
“ I ordered the King Reef Barramundi. Absolutely magical. The best Barramundi I’ve ever had as a meal. Top service, great atmosphere and beautiful views. I am visiting from Brisbane, and loved the experience at this venue. ”
“ Loved this spot. Food was top quality! Sesfood super fresh and beautifully cooked! Feta fries were great too and dessert! Loved the views and vibes at this spot. Was nice and chilled and perfect for a sunny day. We came back next day again because we loved it so much ”
“ We just wanted to hang out and have something fast so we enjoyed the fries!! It’s a bit pricy but it’s okay! My brother also enjoyed his lemonade lime bitter! I had a weak mocha which was to my liking. The view is another story!! I recommend visiting west beach pavilion ”
“ The weather wasn’t ideal during our visit, which slightly affected the experience. The fish and chips were decent, offering a satisfying meal. ”
“ Had a lovely lunch at the pavilion. The staff couldn't do enough for you they were extremely friendly and helpful. The art deco building has original features with many different rooms for functions. The food is well priced but needs more variety. I would recommend beef burger more salads to add calamari, chicken , and lamb or a Thai salad. l would also change the amount of desserts to choose from, eg, cheesecake and the vanilla slice which they have in Fairfield boat house, their other business would be a great addition to the desserts menu . Otherwise loved the atmosphere and they also had live music. ”
“ Charming Beachfront Café — A Warm Escape on a Rainy Day This weekend I finally stepped into a café-restaurant I’ve walked past many times — and it completely exceeded my expectations. It's beautifully located right in front of the beach, and even though it was cold and lightly raining when I visited, the place felt incredibly cosy and inviting. I was there with a new friend after a skating session, and we both loved how peaceful the space was. The soft music, warm lighting, and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect spot to wind down and enjoy a moment out of the rain. The view of the ocean through the big windows was amazing — even in the grey weather, it added something special to the experience. The staff were really friendly and attentive, which made us feel welcomed from the start. Even though the table we picked wasn’t the most stable, it didn’t matter much — we enjoyed our coffee with a smile. The vibe, the view, and the care from the team made the visit totally worth it. I’ll definitely be going back. It’s a great spot to relax, chat, or just sit quietly with a warm drink and enjoy the beachside calm. ”
