We love our new local cafe The Lookout in the Elizabeth Bay Marina - only 1 minute outside the apartment - perfect breakfast and brunch place. On a beautiful sun-drenched wooden deck, The Lookout is luring locals with its robust coffee, winning harbour views and seasonal brunch. Part of a larger NSW government project to upgrade the century-old Elizabeth Bay Marina, the new cafe has a super-relaxed vibe and, as a gentle sea breeze drifts off the harbour, a front-row seat to the boats sailing by.
