The Waterfront was THE most popular spot in Merimbula for breakfast and brunch, and no wonder. It…read morewas right on the town boardwalk, with open views of the estuary beyond. It had everything such a place should have: decent food, good coffee, and people watching. There was also plenty of parking nearby on an expanded section of roadway next to the visitor center. Like a lot of places in town, the menu was a little small. They had one type of omelet, an eggs benedict dish, one pancake dish, etc. I chose the "eggs my way" dish on both my visits, since I just wanted something basic and flexible. This came with a number of optional side for an extra cost: baked beans, spinach, roasted tomatoes, sausage or bacon. (Australian bacon is like a piece of Canadian bacon joined to a piece of american bacon - back bacon meets pork belly). We saw a lot of regulars here, with a few sitting in the same spots (I assume they get there early). Nice hometown feel, but that's true of a lot of places in Merimbula. A really nice spot, but not my favorite in town (that role is filled by Bar Beach Kiosk); Grading on the local curve, this one gets 4 stars.

If we hadn't already had lunch we would have had one of the selections (sandwiches, wraps, savoury muffins) from the chiller cabinet. It all looked very fresh and delicious.

There's a lot of healthy choices on the menu - I went for my beloved avocado toast and Sprouts makes a great version.

Come here for a quick bite, a nice coffee or a bakery item. There is a large parking lot right behind the restaurant if you're driving.

We had breakfast and it was well priced, not fancy, more home-cooked, but definitely in a good way. There's a few tables inside but if the weather is suitable, go to the deck out the back and enjoy the views over the gully. There's toilets available for customers, and sufficient parking out front. Give this place a go!

I ordered a small rice with beef and a serve of spring rolls, and both were honestly top quality. Huge chunks of meat, great portion sizes, and everything was fresh and hot. The only downside for me was the price.. $14 for a small rice and $10 for spring rolls felt a bit steep for a casual meal. That said, you definitely get what you pay for. If it were just a little more affordable, I'd probably be in there every day! Still, if you're after proper Chinese food in Batemans Bay that actually tastes like something, it's well worth a try.

After almost a week of working in Merimbula, I found Bar Beach Kiosk on my first morning off and…read morewas immediately smitten. Smitten enough that I decided to make it my first Yelp review on my work trip to Australia. One of the best parts for me was the short hike here (1.5 km) from town on a path through some beautiful shoreline forest. It totally made my morning to walk this secluded path both before and after breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, my baked egg dish, with tomatoes, cheese, beans and homemade toast was excellent. My coffee (a long black) was hot, fresh and strong. The vibe was friendly, upbeat, and very casual. Beach casual. Combine this with the beautiful setting, and Bar Beach Kiosk has became (for me) the ultimate breakfast spot in Merimbula when the weather was clear. The kiosk sits on a slope overlooking the inlet to the sea, with breakers in the distance and the beach in the foreground. It's just a 20 meter stroll down to the beach and another 30 m to a small boardwalk with scrambling access to the rocky point. Another path leads uphill to an overlook, then the local aquarium and pier. The kiosk building itself is very small, consisting of a compact kitchen and counter, so all seating is outside except for a partially-covered breakfast bar. Given that, it's not the best place to visit on a rainy day. On a beautiful sunny day, though, get there early if you can. The locals come here in droves, especially on weekends. I'm a big fan. I hope to be back a few more times before my trip is over.
