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.

Not "across the road, can see the beach" on the beach, but actually right there at the top of 3 concrete steps that run down to the sand. You could spit on a sunbather if you wanted to. (And as if you haven't wanted to at some point in your life.) The food is good - standard cafe fare, all nice without being especially creative - and the coffee is definitely good, but then again I could have been drinking sewer water and it would have tasted like Perrier because I was so transfixed by the view. And if that view happened to have a topless woman somewhere within its bounds, well, that's hardly my fault now, is it?

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.

Hi, I have recently resigned/been dismissed from working at the Cheeky 3 after having been an…read moreemployee for almost 2 years, due to the utter disrespect I have received since the business switched hands. I love and have enjoyed working with every employee (key word, employee) and previous bosses during this 2 year time period, and believe that each and every one of them aims to do best by the customers, the same way I have in the past. Although I am and have been for a while now, absolutely appalled by the way Kandyan enterprises has been treating and continues to treat their staff members, such as refusing to pay correct public holiday rates, unfair dismissal of myself and numerous others, blatantly putting no effort into even appearing to value the importance of their staff, in particular those who have continued to work since the change in hands and attempted to help maintain the cafes efficiency/previous high standard. Personally I will not continue to support this business although I do support it's staff members. Although I have had a highly negative relationship with my employers, I am glad I was given this opportunity to learn and gain knowledge about similar situations which may arise in my future and how I may handle it better.
