Look Café Bar
If you can manage to take your eyes off the dreamy ocean view and take a look at the menu, this cafe serves up tasty breakfasts and summery Mod Oz mains to a soundtrack of smooth jazzy tunes. The prawn and avocado salad with roast capsicum and orange segments is the chef’s tip.

La Focaccia
For a sophisticated dining experience, La Focaccia is one of the island’s finest. Service is snappy, the wine list is superb and seafood rules here – try the Straddie chilli prawns tossed with glass noodles and coriander, or a gourmet marinara pizza like no other.
