LIGHTHOUSE CAFÉ

BEST FOR Cocktails, snacks and sunsets. FOOD The fuss-free menu is small but perfect for holiday dining. Think peri-peri chicken livers; chicken and beef burgers; snack baskets including various grilled and fried finger foods and chips; a chicken prego roll; steak, egg and chips; calamari or prawns; and a selection of salads. Beautifully presented on a large white dish, the seafood salad comes with a healthy dose of fair-sized prawns and calamari in a piquant French dressing. The peri-peri chicken prego roll is laced with garlic and peri-peri, with a generous portion of chips covering the balance of the plate. DRINKS Not many wines to write home about. Rather have a cocktail or an icecold beer. SERVICE The service is attentive, with patrons welcomed on arrival; dishes and glasses are cleared away swiftly and management interacts with guests about any issues. AMBIENCE The Lighthouse Café is right on the beach; the waves crash less than 50m away and it’s the perfect barefoot space. (NJ)
