What’s not to like? Amazing, panoramic ocean views, friendly staff, yummy food, a great wine/drinks selection, and a reasonably priced menu. I’ve been multiple times, brunch, lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed. Especially epic when the weather holds and puts on a show. Thank you Jonah’s staff, for making us feel so at home.

If I could give more then 5 stars I would. We had the play and stay package and it was absolutely amazing. From the picnic on the boat. Being able to sail around and relax. The skipper was so pleasant to chat with and learn so much from. To the room we stayed in was so beautiful looking over the ocean. The restaurant was amazing with the most amazing food. Wagyu tri tip and lobster. The wait staff were so pleasant and helpful. The dessert was next level amazing. Then breakfast the next morning. Pouched eggs on sourdough bread was super delicious. I would highly recommend for a weekend getaway especially if you need a romantic one.

Absolutely phenomenal. Flawless. Food was incredible, service was just as good too. Not cheap but worth every cent. Even the fries were all hand cut and without a doubt the best fries I’d ever had. Oyster tasting plate is a must as well. Kids meals were just as good too. Will definitely be back again!

The Dunes was a truly wonderful discovery. We were just wandering by and thought we’d check it out (somewhat reassured by the high rating on Google.. something we were delighted to find was well deserved).
The food is outstanding.. and the service is even better! (With a special shout out to Mason). I can highly recommend the Kingfish Sashimi, which was as good as any I have ever had.. and the Fish and Chips was also a show stopper!
I cannot recommend the Dunes highly enough if you are looking for a place to eat in Palm Beach/the Northern Beaches

Well, wasn’t this a delightful, delicious surprise, or perhaps this is just their normal standard…to be this outstanding for flavour, presentation, and great personal service. We ordered a variety of starters: scallops with a smoked butter, ridiculously tender with huge scallops swimming in an amazing drinkable butter sauce, then some huge lightly stuffed zucchini flowers with the most delicate batter, that was served with a beautiful pea mash, a perfect compliment, and the absolute knockout dish was the cgarred octopus in an amazing tomato infused chili oil, omg Yum! After devouring every bite of all of that, we then went onto our mains, the sticky beef rib and a serve of the lamb cutlets, which both absolutely delicious & cooked to perfection, along with some amazing sides, one of the best we’ve tried was the cucumber and goat cheese with mint, something out of this world! Forget about Aria, we’ve been there, we’ve done that…you need to make the little beautiful drive out here and make it a destination…its worth it. Some great personable staff and attention to detail, not to mention the fantastic wine list with some really awesome Australian wines included. Get to this place.. you’ll love it! Great atmosphere & great sound..still can talk & hear with groovy tunes in the background.

Took my family here yesterday we were so impressed with the delicious food. The staff were very friendly and prices very reasonable considering the view and where it’s situated. Definitely a place I would recommend you will not regret it.

Dinner was delicious! The beef cheek and duck cooked so well, fell apart at the touch of our forks. Staff were lovely and friendly, and the place is gorgeous. Food was a little on the expensive side, but when you don’t do it often it doesn’t matter!

This is our 2nd visit to this amazing venue. From the minute you enter staff are friendly and attentive. The food is incredible and beautifully presented. We had a selection of starters including oysters, crab toast, zucchini flowers, focaccia, grilled king prawns and venison tartare ( you must try this – amazing!) Mains were beer battered barramundi – which had the lightest and crispiest batter I have ever tasted – and Ora king salmon served with a champagne buerre blanc. This feast was spread out over 2 hours and the flavours of each and every dish, absolutely amazing. Compliments to Chef and his team

We had a wonderful breakfast at Coast Palm Beach Café and absolutely loved it! It’s a cozy little café with a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to start the day. The interior design is stylish yet relaxed, adding to the charm of the place.
The food quality was great—fresh ingredients, well-prepared dishes, and delicious flavors. The coffee was also spot-on! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better.
If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with good food and a great vibe, this café is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Here I am again! One of my favourites in the area. I come here every time I visit the Palm Beach. Very chilled and cosy atmosphere, friendly staff with great service. Food is simple, delicious and understated. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu. Lamb Gyro is a personal favourite – so juicy and tender. Their Deluxe Bacon and Eggs roll is also the best – simple things done just right and the result is amazing. And you pretty much can’t go wrong with any of their burgers. I only wish I live in Sydney so I can visit them every weekend.

We had the Fish and Chips, BLT and Baramundi with Turkish Bread and it was so yummmmmms~~ Highly recomend their fish and chips, and I would says it is one of the bests I have eaten by far! Crispy, fresh, juicy and fluffy chips!!! Their mocha is really delicious too. For dessert, the chocolate ice cream was really good too! Service was good and the people was super friendly and nice. There will be a bit of a wait during peak hour but that is understandable. 10/10 will be going back there soon.

On a rainy day, decided to take a drive down to beautiful Palm Beach. Stopped here for lunch because wife found that it had 4.7 stars! And it proves to be worth every one of those stars!
Hong, who attended to us, was genuine and friendly! I asked for suggestions on what to order and she said Bahn Mi without hesitation. It was fantastic! I had one pork Banh Mi for myself and wife and daughter shared the other one! It was excellent!!! Crispy bun and crispy pork! My daughter said it was the best Banh Mi she’s ever had. I have not had that many so i am not a good gauge. My daughter on the other hand… Had had quite a few from several recommended stores! 😂
Wife also ordered the spring rolls to share which was also very good. Fried, not summer rolls in Vietnamese rice paper, so don’t get it wrong. 😂 No picture cos i was hungry.
Road side parking available just outside the restaurant. Restroom available. Nice outside space but we couldn’t use because if the rain. But Hong have us the heater to keep us warm.
Service, as you must have guessed, is really honest, friendly and all in all, excellent. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Top quality baguette and paté in the Banh Mi and excellent coffee as well. Owner was really friendly despite seemingly covering all aspects of food prep and service. Beautiful spot across from the golf course.

I had both Iced Matcha and Iced Vietnamese Coffee at that cafe, and both were delicious. The lady who served me was also very friendly and helpful.
