    Tidy little position on the corner just behind Tezza's main drag, we started off outside but the…read moresummer had just landed and the flies - the flies, dammit! - were out in force, drunk on the promise of a new season. So we scooped up our plates and bum-rushed it inside, where we sat int he window and looked at those not so quick on the uptake battle the blowies. My friends' brekkies all looked pretty good, but my bacon and egg roll was Lilliputian-sized. I like the idea of using a brioche, but the thing was the size of a pikelet, far too small for my man-sized appetite. What I did appreciate though was their liberal use of watercress, a vegetable that is far too often neglected in todays modern world of fancy-pants rocket and baby cos and such. Long live the cress! Oh, I also dug the painted mural that adorns the walls inside the cafe, a panorama of French city life, complete with big-nosed Depardieu-type character, a smarmy little guy with a beret and John Lennon sunnies, and some other guy who was Mona Lisa-like in that no matter where I was his looked straight into my soul.

    It is a nice little cafe with a great menu. The berry pancakes were very tasty and enough for me to…read morebe satisfied but my hubby was left a little hungry after his tiny sized brekky! The service was polite and calm but a little slow to serve. Maybe it was just a lazy Sunday for everyone? I will go back again but I will make sure I don't have any appointments to head off to.

    Cove Cafe has a prime spot overlooking Terrigal beach and of course you will pay a premium for this…read moreluxury which is reasonable to expect. My family and i arrived for an early lunch. The waitress was friendly, we ordered drinks and we're off to a great start. Then along comes another waitress "Can i get you some drinks?" she asks. A bit of a double up, no worries! Minutes later, another waitress, "Have you ordered drinks yet?" OK so they're keen to work the tables. After drinks, the waitress relay gets underway again with the first, then second, then third asking us if we're ready to order our meal, within a 10min span. Since we weren't in any hurry we kindly replied each time 'Not just yet, while mentioning to the third that we've been asked the same question by 2 others already. Don't waiters get assigned a section of the restaurant/cafe to serve to? This gets quite annoying quite quickly. I ordered the grilled Bream which is served with Ratatouille, baby octopus and a rocket salad and another ordered the special Thai beef salad. Meals were served in a fair time but i was surprised to find my main course to be a little bigger than an entree especially at $23. The dish had good flavors, well presented but was too small a portion to be considered a main. The verdict on the Thai beef salad was that there was nothing Thai about it. Sliced beef on a standard looking green salad can be called Thai apparently! This is one of those cafes that expect you to order an entree, main and dessert to ensure that you feel you've had a sufficient sized lunch. For those who don't want to go through a 3 course lunch you may end up walking out with your stomach growling at you for not spending up. It was comical to watch the waiters running around helter skelter, aimlessly darting from table to table to kitchen and everywhere else. If there is a manager perhaps take a seat at a table over lunch and take note that your dancers need a choreographer.
