Serving a notch above traditional cafe fare, Next Door has been a local favourite since opening its doors in 2016. The beachside venue has become so popular that the establishment had no choice but to launch a dinner menu for its many fans.

Head Chef Luke Arnull cooks with the philosophy that you should only serve what you love to make to your friends, and his menu lives up to this mantra. Expect truffle and parmesan arancini with truffle mayo ($12), lamb ribs with pepperberry and chimichurri ($16) and some of the best sweet potato fries around ($9).

Next Door has also launched a Sunday Session menu to help wrap your week up right. It features a range share plates, priced at just $12 a pop from 4–7pm, which you can enjoy alongside next-level views with a drink in hand.
