Our favourite cafe on the Dee Why beachfront, this is a pleasant inside-outside place with a wide range of food. Dishes range from frittata, eggs and salad bowls to grilled fish, Portuguese- and Brazilian-influenced dishes and slow-cooked meat like lamb shanks or beef cheeks. It's good, hearty fare in generous portions. Licensed and BYO.
