From the high-end world of fine dining at Tetsuya’s, chefs Darren Robertson and Mark LaBrooy have hatched a venue where sun and surf meet a shared belief in good ethical food from local providers.
The funky, bustling space, cooled by refreshing sea breezes, amiably spills onto the street and is split by an eye-catching timber-decked alleyway, a vestige of when the property was two cafes.
The menu, made for sharing, is full of big flavours underpinned by classic Asian tastes and twists and covers a wide range of well-portioned, value-for-money options. Twice-cooked sticky chicken comes atop a palate-pleasing array of coriander, red onions and cashews, dressed with a zingy chilli-backed nahm jim. Nicely sized corn fritters, with a luscious serve of labne and guacamole, are paired with a herb salad and a gentle kick of jalapeño heat. For a well-conceived ‘carb’ kick, look out for the baked potatoes, swathed in crème fraîche and topped with aromatic herbs.
