Where the Coast Slows Down and Life Tastes Better

Perched right by the water’s edge, Breakwater Bistro is a place to slow down, take in the view, and enjoy food that feels honest. What started as a small seaside café has grown into a beautiful eatery / gathering spot for locals and visitors who share a love of good ingredients, good company and the calm rhythm of the coast.

 

Our kitchen is guided by the seasons and the sea. We work closely with local fishermen, growers, and makers to bring the best of our region to the table—freshly caught seafood, vibrant produce, and ingredients that speak for themselves. Every dish is prepared with care, inspired by our surroundings and the people who call this coastline home.

 

Inside, the bistro blends relaxed warmth with simple, thoughtful design. It’s the kind of place where families linger over Sunday lunch, friends gather for sunset drinks, and visitors discover a slice of local life. Whether you’re here for a morning coffee, a long meal, or just to watch the tides roll in, we want Breakwater Bistro to feel like your place by the sea.

Amazing views across the water, food was great, as were the local drinks served, we even spotted a seal right alongside the beach. Parking was a slight challenge in a busy, tight and narrow car park!
