Before we started the Spit to Manly walk, we decided it might be a good idea to grab a bite to eat. Jimmy's On The Spit looked like the best, most reasonable spot so we walked in to take a look. It's a cafe but they're open from breakfast to dinner (on certain days).
We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 1:30pm) and were the only ones there. It's a cute spot with some hipster street art along their main wall. Service is friendly. You order at the counter and then they'll bring your food out to your table.
The menu is split into brekkie, sandwich & wraps, burgers, from the garden, from the chef and drinks (coffee, tea, milk shakes, smoothies, organic juices and soft drinks).
- Sweet potato chips ($7.50 AUD large) - these were excellent. Crispy and addictive. Great portion that was enough for four of us. Although, it was a fight for the last few chips.
- Smoked salmon wrap ($14.00 AUD) - avocado salsa, tomato, Spanish onion, baby spinach and house aioli. This was my cousin's order. She doesn't like avocado so she got this on the side for us to add to our burgers. Win.
- Moroccan lamb burger ($14.00 AUD) - house yoghurt, avocado salsa, mix leaf, cucumber, melted halloumi and mint dressing. Very tender, fresh and flavourful. We split this three way which was messy but doable!
- Portuguese chicken burger ($12.00 AUD) - panko crumbed chicken fillet, cheese, tomato, lettuce and lemon chili mayo. The chicken was nicely crumbed and well seasoned. The mayo added a nice bit of heat to the burger.
We were all happily sated for the walk. Solid cafe for pre or post hike food and drinks. read more
