Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lonsdale

We arrived half an hour early and the server, Layla, suggested that because our table was still occupied we could go to the cafe next door for a takeaway which we did and it was very pleasant. When we returned for our table, Layla welcomed us as if we were royalty, showed us to the table, and made sure we had everything we needed prior to ordering. Even though this is standard in most Beachside cafes, Layla's good mood, enthusiastic spirit, and genuinely welcoming demeanour were infectious. I had the omelette with over roasted tomatoes, which I had specifically asked for the kitchen to almost kill them under the grill, and everything was perfect. The food was to die for. I was initially a little bit concerned prior to trying it out,as I had heard other reviews state that it was overpriced for the food serving. I found this was not the case, and my omelette not only filled the entire plate. It was under $20. Would I eat at this cafe again, absolutely, and I want to give a shout out to Layla because she went about and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, treated us as if we were royalty, and added to an already wonderful experience real her infectious youthful exuberance.

We had called in for coffee a few months ago and saw the menu. Yesterday we booked for lunch. Great view facing the ocean, comfy chairs, great staff and the menu was amazing. It was a special occasion so no hurry so we started with some small things, a grazing plate and finished off with two amazing mains. The portion sizes were really generous. We really enjoyed our lunch and will be back again.

Lovely spot and great food, good size serves. Perfect location, nice and quiet down that end of the beach. Good menu selection and wonderful staff. It’s always nice to go somewhere and get a big decent serve so thank you. Delicious. View is stunning. Feels like we are on holidays somewhere. I’ve been quite a few times now as local and bought a gift voucher as an easy Xmas gift for a friend. My only complaint is that we were running late and there is no phone number to call them on to contact them last minute. It was really frustrating and I feel all hospitality venues should have a contact number after all, it’s hospitality. I will continue to enjoy going and feel lucky it’s part of my neighbourhood xx

Great place for brunch. Spiced haloumi is sooo good. the Cativa Smashed was also excellent. The coffee is also smooth and delicious. Will be back to try more .

I brought a friend from Melbourne and they were completely blown away considering that she frequents many restaurant establishments around Australia. The ambience was amazing from the moment you walked in and the food and service was impeccable. Well done to the Rosemont hall Team!
