What people say
Great place for coffee over the water. Beautiful views of boats and the water. Coffee has a nice smooth taste, not earthy or bitter, and nicely presented with nice latte art. Food is also popular although I don't eat with my coffee. Child and dog friendly.
Located at 1 Ithaca Road, Elizabeth Bay, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 A lovely little cafe located in a spectacular spot with stunning views. Directly on the water at Elizabeth Bay Marina. We were a large group of elderly people and also people with mobility issues. It’s very accessible as there is a ramp and also disabled toilets. The seating is on the veranda so it was good we had a clear day. There are umbrellas for cover but I think if it’s raining, it wouldn’t be as pleasant to sit. The menu is not particularly large but there’s still a good selection of dishes to pick from. I had the battered fish and chips. It was nice. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Willing to help our group in any way. There is parking 🅿️ but it also caters to the park which is just near the marina and it’s not overly big. Could fill up fast, especially on weekends. We had buses and our drivers had to park a large distance away. There was nothing close. Saying this, it’s still a lovely cafe. I would recommend a visit. Thumbs up!! 👍
The corn fritters are full of flavour with tasty sauces and accompaniments. Can't stop thinking about them now. Bookings recommended as the beautiful location and food make it popular. Tables also have 1hr limit in busy times.
I had lunch at The Lookout and was very impressed. The food was fresh, presented beautifully and had so much flavour – each dish was carefully prepared and well balanced. Just right for a leisurely afternoon over the Elizabeth Bay. The service was warm and friendly. Highly recommended!
Surprise cafe! Visiting Sydney and not familiar around the area. So great feeling when discovering it. Really loved the coffee. Great service. The view is fab. Pity — the weather around Sydney, the second time I visited - was horrid! But — loved the cafe! 😀 Roman — AD, DTC
