I really like 7 Spices. They serve mainly Indian/Sri Lankan food, but offer a range of Asian fusion choices. The owner is a nice, polite man and the chef will often come out and ask if you like the food - true customer service. Portion sizes are good and the food is always delicious and well priced. BYO only.

Asian-fusion and contemporary food. The menu offers something different and varied for every taste. I've had a range of curries here, each was flavourful and well cooked. Wine is a little overpriced but there's a good selection. Service is friendly and helpful.

I love C15. I visit mainly for coffee and cake, which is always of the best quality. I have had breakfast here (eggs benedict) which tasted awesome. The portion sizes are good and the service is polite and very friendly. The decor is funky and includes plants, flowers and a semi-alfresco area.
I've been to Caesar's a couple of times. The decor is tacky ancient Rome style and the large venue size means it's not cosy, but the pasta is good and well priced. I didn't like the pizza or calzone as the taste of tinned mushrooms ruined these dishes. I'd recommend the Penne Arrabiata, which I was very impressed with.

I had a building and termite inspection done in 2008 on the house I was about to buy. The inspector was so professional, efficient, timely and flexible. The price was fair and I was provided with a full comprehensive colour report and verbal explanation of the findings.

New Norcia Bakery sell product and also have a cafe section. I have been for breakfast. The menu is not diverse, but the food is good. We had home made baked beans and a pastry. The food is yummy if you feel like bakery food. I was happy with the coffee too. Perfect for your day off mid-week, as it can get very crowded on the weekend and it's too noisy then.

I've only been here for coffee. The coffee was good and the decor is nice, but it is overpriced compared to other outlets nearby, and the service was slow (this only mattered because we were on a time limit). It's a big restaurant though so suits larger gatherings.
Peters by the Sea do fish & chips and also kebabs. I've only ever had the fish & chips. It's noisy and the decor is tacky, but the food is generally good and if you're looking to eat on the beach the decor inside does not matter. Be on the ball though - if you miss your number when it's called you will get a dirty look and may have to wait even longer for your food!

Peko Peko do Eurio-Japanese takeaway (you can also dine in where there is a small area for eatiing/having coffee). The coffee is ok, but the food is very impressive - the sushi is tasty and has nothing but fresh, quality ingredients and I'd also recommend the spring rolls. This place is ideal for an on-the-go lunch/dinner or for party catering.

Saowanee's Place has a big sign on the front reading "Best Thai". When I saw this I was skeptical, but when I tasted the food, I completely agree. I have never had such delicious Thai food. Order the freshly made roti - it's to die for. We had a range of curries, each absolutely divine - thick and flavourful. The staff are well mannered and attentive.
