Food Scene

Great coffee served by very friendly staff. Pretty good gelato section, too. It's called 'That New Video Shop' here, but it's just been renamed as Bar Z.

Insanely good Indian restaurant. Super popular on Friday and Saturday nights, so book ahead. They also deliver. But be patient if it's peak eating time. It can take up to an hour to arrive, but well worth the wait.

Newly opened pizza joint in Narrabeen, but this is the real deal. Proper, overnight-proved dough. An impressive pizza oven. A few simple but exceedingly well-sourced ingredients. Delicious. I think they deliver, too.

Parks & Nature

A lovely, lovely family beach, replete with two ocean pools (adult and nippers), rock pools and a sensational kids playground. All located at the southern end of the beach.

Take the even, well-paved and not-too-steep path from the Long Reef carpark up to the headland for spectacular coastal views north and south. A lovely little walk.

Essentials

A pretty well-stocked IGA. Should be good enough for pretty much all your grocery needs during a stay. Just be aware it closes at 7pm most nights.

From the free-range cuts to the 'smoked-on-premise' small goods (bacon, ham, chorizo, salamis, etc), *this* is quality butcher. Well worth the visit.

Entertainment & Activities

Lovely little Art Deco cinema down near the beach. Limited to just a few screens, and more likely to play art house movies than the big blockbusters, this is still a little gem worth visiting.

If I said 'big, eight-screen cinema complex', you'd probably think of a big, impersonal chain. But this cinema feels is run by a dedicated family. And it feels like it. Polite staff, good seats and plenty of parking, you'll find all the big releases here.

Drinks & Nightlife

Beautifully renovated in early 2015, this lovely pub is dab next to the beach. Head to the upstairs bar and balcony for incredible ocean views and the occasional live bands. Young kids are welcomed and a good kitchen turns out some pretty yummy food.
