For brunch with a view, it doesn’t get much better than this. Andre Salem’s sunny cafe and kiosk is within spitting distance of Brighton Beach’s colourful bathing boxes, giving locals and visitors to the bona fide tourist attraction somewhere scenic to refuel.

Part of Brighton Life Saving Club’s new Dendy Beach Pavilion, in which the council invested $10.6 million, the 55-seat Beach House is all floor-to-ceiling glass and timber battens, with an easy-breezy deck set above an amphitheatre-like public seating area.

The dine-in menu deals in all the usual suspects, from a soft chilli scramble to beer-battered barramundi and chips. But a few fancier options round it out, including brioche rolls generously stuffed with king prawn and octopus, and a Moreton Bay bug linguine.

To take away, find sangers, burgers, popcorn chicken and more. Plus, Salem bought the biggest soft-serve machine he could find, serving ice-cream with an array of toppings.
