We fancied a beach excursion a bit further than Clovelly so braved Military Road to get to Freshwater Beach, next to Manly. I had read that the hatted Pilu restaurant was now doing a smart little kiosk.
Freshwater was a breath of fresh air, a bit like a holiday spot up the coast, fewer people, more green, less concrete.
The Kiosk i
s a quaint little building on a bit of decking adjoining Pilu restaurant. Like the restaurant, the fare is Italian. It 's one of the few places I've found those Sicilian delights - sfogliatelle. They also do a Nutella pastry, home baked muffins and a nice looking selection of sandwiches including a roast suckling pork, apple and mustard one.
Stella had a great ham and cheese toastie called a Mantanella in which the 'toast' was a flaky Burek style pastry. Coffee was good, a roast called 'Florence'.
Not alot of space for prams, no high chairs and no toilets, but the amenities nearby, including two playgrounds, decent public toilets and a gorgeous beach more than make up for it.
The location of this little gem makes it a great place to take visitors to Sydney or even just refresh your own faith in our great metropolis by the sea.
The restaurant menu looked amazing and we will be back sans l'enfant.
