We ordered brioche buns with gelato and a nutella filled arancino. I thought the food was great and the gelato filled brioche was very similar to what I ate in southern Italy. Love how novel (and tasty) the arancino was! However I thought the service was a bit lackluster and abrupt which was a shame. After seeing other reviews I see this is common so I do hope that improves in the future. So go for the desserts and be prepared for below average service.

The place is quaint, it's got a cute mix of mismatched furniture, AstroTurf walls and an antique oven at the back. Unfortunately the cute surroundings were let down by the lack of ventilation inside. The menu is half in Italian, which is generally good unless they don't explain it to you...which they didn't. For someone who's Italiano starts with si and ends with pasta varieties..I felt a bit like going to an espresso bar for the first time in Rome, I asked for recommendations and what a few items was and they read out the name as is, no explanations just a little shrug and bored expression. The young family behind me had a similar response as well and ended up ordering whatever that was in English. Not ideal. The food itself was quite nice, the granita was outstanding. I so desperately wanted to like it was let down by a few execution errors. It's not going to stop me from going back though, I just need to be more prepared (no lip gloss required, just google).

OMG Am I really the first to be reviewing this place? Good lord! Why!????…read more Look here's the scoop:- Cafe BIrkenhead as a name opened (if memory serves) in 1996 or 1997. It won accolade after accolade for sensational food, with a seasonal menu (yeah they changed it every season) and million dollar waterfront views of the harbour, right across to North Sydney (you could see the brown block of RNS in the distance), but with magnificent Cockatoo Island in the foreground. I adored this place. Then it changed hands and everything went a little "cheaper".. same type of food, but instead of delicate obviously fresh whiting fillets for "fish and chips" something frozen and re-fried was slathered on top of a pile of greasy chips. Then Birkenhead point changed. Cafe Birkenehead had to move, and it now has.. a-hundred-thousand dollar views of... other peoples apartments in Balmain, across sparce water filled with a marina, with little traffic. Worst, the layout of the new place is so wide that the views aren't that great from the ample couch seating at the entrace side. Too many staff now dominate the floor, and I don't think any of them know what they are doing, at least none of them knew enough to take our order in a timely manner (the first time we returned) or to serve it in a timely manner (the second time; yes I had to ask for the food to be brought out) Who eats polenta chips? Honestly? they are greasy and disgusting, and frankly sound like a way of using up left-over polenta carried over from one of the other restaurants owned by this multi-congolomerate restaurant chain (Blackbird at Darling Harbour have you mended your broken wing yet?!). Why do I mention these polenta so-called "chips"? Well, because they are absolutely ubiquitous on the fabric covered menu. Everywhere. The schnitzel was generous, and lovely, if you discount the mushroom sauce which was obviously made with that "sauce base" you can buy in a beer bottle (look for it at Coles) and the fish was actually quite well cooked although its en-crustment of chickpea neither holds up to that wonderful crunch I expect from deep fried fish, nor to taste, as anything remotely pulse like in the batter was lost amidst the staple batter ingredients. Food that arrived late, food that pretentiously apes at classy bistro food combined with late, un-interested and un-caring overall service, ritzy "look there's fire!!" decorations, fancy exposed beams and air-vents (that's Birkenehead Point's signature look).. Does this sentence make sense? No? neither does "Cafe" Birkenhead. My memories are of a better place. Sorry, cafe birkenehead, keep trying. I'll review this again no doubt in the coming months because I am a sucker for punishment.

The little hole in the wall is tucked in a hole in the wall between Alfred Imaging and Drummoyne Medical Centre, and makes great use of the space. The food selection appears to be italian inspired quick and easy, with most things on offer being paninis and Italian patisserie. Quiet for a Sunday when I went but expected as it has to compete against Bowan Island Bakery and the very good Sourdough Baker on Victoria Rd. BTW if you are thinking of going to Bowan Island - Don't bother. This place is better, even if it is subject to the weather. 4P I think is the extension of the larger 4P Cucina at Birkenhead Point coffee house which I have yet to try. If it's as good as this hole in the wall then it just got moved up the "places to try queue". So Well done 4P Espresso, and I'm not sure if you can claim "Best Coffee in Drummoyne" Best I've tried so far -- that is for certain.

This indulgent chocolatier also serves stand out coffee, generously served in porcelain mugs. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The selection of cakes and sweet delicacies is awesome, and of particular note is the tiramisu, coffee indulgence in layered sponges. Gotta be happy with that! I have been coming here since they opened in 2010 and greatly enjoy the views from the mid level looking out over the harbour towards North Sydney. Certainly one of the better dining experiences in Birkenhead Point.

We had a BBQ beef burger and a B.L.A.T beef burger. The chips on both plates had no seasoning but were cooked perfectly - which is a shame as I think chips can really compliment a meal. The burgers were weighted just right. Not too heavy, not too light. The flavours were there and they were enjoyable but the oil dripping out of them were a real turn off. We both had a tummy ache afterwards. The burger meat was... strange. I have no idea if the beef patties were over processed or seasoned with the wrong herbs, but it was enough for us to never want to eat their burgers again. Service was okay, the food came out in a decent time. Maybe the eggs and bacon next time.
