Dreamy seaside fantasy with a focus on seafood.

If AI were able to conjure restaurants from thin air, and the prompt was ‘breezy Australian beachside café/seafood joint’, the result would probably look a lot like Lagoon, and prove that AI isn’t pure doom.

The breakfast and lunch restaurant, which sits just across from Yallingup’s main beach, is white-washed with windows that retract to open the space up to the sea breeze and a view of surfers readying themselves for the famed waves. A kiosk window sees brisk coffee action in the mornings, while inside poached eggs over white beans with ’nduja, or brioche French toast with passionfruit curd and mascarpone, are dished up to happy punters.

At lunch the menu turns towards the ocean – plump mussels mariniere come swimming in a wine-based broth, showered with parsley and served with hot chips, while spaghetti gets shot-through with crab cooked in Champagne. The crumbed fish burger is like an elevated filet-o-fish, complete with American cheese and pickles.

If you wanted one restaurant to represent the glory of our coastline and laid-back way of life, you’ve found it.
