Summer lovin’ doesn’t get much better than this. Perched on the edge of South Cronulla Beach, Bobbys screams “lunchtime, chilled beer and anchovies on toast”. Or a glass of rosé and a barra burger. Or a spritz and grapefruit-laced kingfish ceviche.

However you play it, angle for a spot with a view of the boardwalk and watch the world go by.

Wagyu carpaccio is dotted with anchovy cream, reminiscent of an excellent vitello tonnato. Big, ripe tomatoes are aromatic with vinegar sharpness and balanced with great olive oil, crisp croutons, goat’s curd and basil. Whole snapper is agreeably priced and nicely cooked, lifted by a burnt citrus butter and caperberries.

Groups are well catered for with a generous set menu that includes Bobbys’ pavlova, a crusty, creamy meringue with diced mango and passionfruit puree.
