The Bathers' Pavilion

Breakfast is the business overlooking Balmoral beach here. Pioneer chef Serge Dansereau has one of the most attractively located restaurants, looking out over Balmoral beach.

"My most pleasurable moment was when I opened Bathers' nearly ten years ago and my three new kitchens suddenly came alive," says Dansereau.

Chestnut soup is delicate, sweet and bold while the prices may send some out the back to wash the plates, it's a popular choice with the locals.

Licensed, around $120pp, including wine.
