Three Blue Ducks

Sydney


These ducks are a fair waddle from the water at Bronte Beach, but that doesn't stop queues forming outside the art-covered walls for weekend breakfasts across two seating areas. The adventurous chefs have a strong commitment to using local, organic and fair-trade food whenever possible – including from the bees, chooks and herb garden in the backyard.

There's a great vibe and new branches have now sprouted in Rosebery, Brisbane and Byron Bay.
