This is more bistro restaurant than cafe to us. Cafe Pier really surprised us. It's an impressive…read moreestablishment that serves very good Greek food. It deserves s higher rating on what we experienced today. The restaurant is sited in a nice corner position on Point Nepean road. It also looks inviting from the street. It's bright and airy inside with lots of white. The ceilings are higher than you'd expect too. They're still fake plants up high but that doesn't jar too much from a distance. There's ample tables here including a few outside and a good communal table out there too. It's a good set up overall. I bet the trade is fantastic in the holiday season. It's a good menu here with plenty of Greek and non Greek options. We both selected the souvlaki wrap with chicken and lamb gyros. We were expected something fairly small but this dish was about three times larger than what we were expecting. So, the offering is a long way from those dinky little 2 euro ones they serve in the Greek Isles. The dish here was large but happily equally as tasty as those from the home country. There's beautiful soft pita, really good lamb and chicken too - tender and tasty as. In addition, there was really good tatziki, creamy with good amount of dill, fresh lettuce, Spanish onion and tomato. It's very well done. The accompanying chips were beautiful, golden and mouth watering. Not a small serve again either. It's a sizeable and very generous serve. Overall, it's a very satisfying dish that we actually struggled to finish. We'd boldly ordered a lovely Greek salad too as we thought we'd need it. We didn't. The salad was very nice but huge as well. We had to ask for a container to take it away as we weren't able to eat much of it. It's a good salad and pleasingly they hadn't skimped on the feta. Again, it was a very generous piece. I always like to comment on service. The service here was very good. Very polite, informed and efficient from our young server. This restaurant was a surprise packet for us. It punches comfortingly above its rating on what we experienced and no doubt that's why it does well in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed Pier Cafe. We will return here for sure.

Couldn't fault this place. Delicious Greek food with the authentic European hospitality to suit…read more Interesting way to serve Galatoboureko (in a parcel and warm) but it was sensational!! Worth a try and best make a booking. Also great for families, staff were so friendly to my 17 month old and even told us when it was going to get loud because someone was celebrating an engagement- we didn't mind one bit. Opa!!!

This probably should be the best contemporary cafe in this area. There's the makings but it's not…read morethere yet on what I experienced today. Merchant and Maker looks deceptively humble from the street nestled in a small shopping strip. It's actually a spacious cafe with ample inside and outside seating. And, it's located directly across from the breach. It's nicely fitted out in a contemporary way with brightness coming from the predominant white decor. There was lovely music on today. Someone has a really good playlist. Overall there's a lovely atmosphere at this cafe and it's a very nice place to sit a spell. I received a lovely greeting on arrival. Good menu here, but things are a little expensive, $2-3 above city prices in some cases. $6 to add extras to my brekkie eggs seemed a bit OTT to me. I had a gorgeous long black with cold milk on the side and it was very nicely presented on a board. Very very good coffee. Best coffee in the immediate area on the peninsula. I chose poached eggs on sourdough with beans and bacon. The toasted sourdough was too dry, the eggs not quite runny enough to offset the dryness. Another earlier reviewer had mentioned the dryness of the bread and they were right. The bread needs to softened in another way as parts of it were tough to eat. The dish was unseasoned too. I had to ask for salt and pepper which wasn't available on any table. Absolutely beautiful bacon, and superbly cooked. Best bacon I've tasted for a while, with gorgeous crisp edges. It was the best part of the dish. The beans were over sweetened. Like seriously too too sweet. It was a shame as they otherwise had good flavour. It was also a tiny serve for $6. So, overall the meal was not quite there for me. Service was lovely throughout. It has the makings but overall this cafe can do better.

Even though this place has been voted number 1, it certainly didn't live up to its expectations…read more Takeaway coffee was terrible, just tepid milk and water. I had the club sandwich, wasn't even a sandwich just a roll with chicken and bacon. The poached eggs and bacon was minimal for the price. But the worst dish has to be the fried chicken. Even though it was boneless, the meat was all grisly and fatty, leaving little meat and the coleslaw was just cut up cabbage. Even though we made a complaint about how bad the meal was, there was nothing done about it. Overall, very expensive overrated shit.
