"Do yourself a favour and get one of the Vietnamese dishes. One of the best Viet food places and not too expensive. They provide good quality and generous portions of meat. We got the Asian Duck Salad and the Beef Pho. The owners and workers are lovely too! We got to sit outside by the water and there was shade provided."

"Beautiful spot for a meal with a view! The staff are lovely, their food & coffee is fantastic and they’re so accommodating for little ones! We had breakfast options late in the day; I can honestly say they make the best corn fritter stack, the big breakfast was very generous and the kids pancakes were the perfect size and assortment of fruit for our daughter, and all very well priced. We can’t wait to come back and try their Vietnamese options!"
