Burwood

If it's a stunning setting you're after, this striking beachside brasserie delivers in spades. Providing gorgeous views over the water, the dining room is in an enviable spot, and is decorated with a faux-industrial style and blue leather banquettes. The eponymous chef oversees a menu of unfussy dishes utilising plenty of local seafood, such as the fish fingers made using the daily catch. The service is efficient and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with the restaurant's popularity lending it a welcome buzz.
