Where to Eat in Narrabeen

There's nothing more painful than ill conceived or contrived beachside chic and conversely there's nothing better than welcoming true beachside chic. Sydney does it so well and so badly at times. Badly is when the view speaks or shouts louder than the food which is a scant afterthought and prices rival that of a 5 star restaurant just because you happen to be sitting across from the ocean. Vespacific cafe is of the other ilk, a little retro style beachside cafe with a Vespa theme running through it in Narrabeen on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Service is said to be friendly, servings tasty and huge and they also happen to be very vegetarian friendly (and incidentally we see that they also compost but not in that in your face kind of way that shouts "I'm fashionably green!"). It's a beautiful sunny Winter's day in Sydney so what better way to spend it than to be beachside. I confess it's a compulsion of mine whenever we get a nice sunny weekend day in Winter.
