Alley Break Cafe

Alley Break cobbles together a bunch of little ideas that add up to something big. Adding to the water views, the cafe serves seasonal food sourced locally and has a lovely, sprawling, family-friendly vibe. A shared starter plate of cured meats includes a pillow of smoky goat’s cheese, built around salty leg ham, chunks of chewy sourdough, cultured butter, olives and cornichons. The theory that seafood tastes better by the seaside proves true with a grilled swordfish, roasted pumpkin and pesto dish. A salad of baby beets, goat’s cheese, walnut and rocket is a hit with health nuts.
