Avalon Surf Club Has a New Waterfront Restaurant and Beach Kiosk

There's a brand new brunch haven in the north, right on the damn beach. Housed in the Avalon Surf Club, the just-opened waterfront space (dubbed The Avalon on the Beach) is the northern beaches' newest bragworthy spot — doubling up as a slick, casual restaurant and breezy, beachy kiosk.

Come summertime, the ground-floor kiosk is likely to be swarmed with afternoon bathers — mirroring equally successful set-ups like Manly Wine, Balmoral's Bathers Pavilion, Tamarama Kiosk and even Coogee Pavilion. Sitting almost on the sand, this pretty little kiosk will be serving up Double Roasters coffee, bacon and egg rolls with tomato chutney, bircher muesli with roasted pistachios, gruyere jaffles, prawn sliders, burgers and Instagrammable ice cream cones by the sea daily. But the clincher? Of course, they'll be cooking up fish and chips for all your nostalgic summer needs.

On the upper level of the Avalon Surf Club is the casual dining restaurant; serving 180 degree views of Avalon Beach with your lunch. Open for lunch and dinner daily and breakfast on the weekends, the restaurant features a seasonal menu that has been crafted by newly appointed head chef Athos Galassi and focuses on locally, ethically and sustainably sourced produce as much as possible. You can rock up for bar snacks like prawn rolls, spiced salami nduja bread or Coffin Bay oysters, or if you’re up for something a little more substantial, there’s a hefty lunch and dinner menu. Think blue eye cod al cartoccio, chargrilled spatchcock, spinach and ricotta retolo and the mighty Round Table burger.

The Avalon is the newest incarnation of the surf club space, under the direction of Trippas White Group — the huge hospitality group behind 360 Bar and Dining in Sydney Tower, Centennial, Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain restaurants and Queens Park Shed.
