If you're looking for an unpretentious spot for a casual lunch then you can't beat Little St Kilda in Palm Beach. It's right near the beach so its a relaxed atmosphere filled with beach goers after a swim or a surf, or locals just lazing on a chair reading the newspaper in the sun. You can sit outside and people watch on the bench like seats, under striped colourful umbrellas, or sit inside at the bar. It's a tiny, retro quaint little cafe filled with 80's memorabilias and posters, even using jam jars for cocktails and water. It's very reminiscent of something you'd find at Bondi Beach or Coogee, or even ironically, St Kilda.
The food is finger-lickin good, satisfying all those naughty cravings. There's your wraps and salads, burgers and souvlaki, all day breakfast options and apparently they make a good coffee. Thus it scores on the popularity card with the locals.


Today, after my 10km Gold Coast marathon run, I felt like carbs. So I wasn't going to go past the BLT on Turkish bread with fries option. Crisp bacon with lashings of aioli on a bed of rocket accompanied with crunchy shoe string fries for no extra cost? And just $ 12? Yes please. 
BLT and Chicken Burger



Thumbs up for this new eclectic establishment. Cannot wait to eat at their other new restaurant- The office! The Gold Coast has always needed some trendy cafes to counter the fast food franchise industry with wholesome tasty food, and this little cafe fills its little niche quite snuggly. 


Watch this space for more food taste tests as I will definitely be eating here again! Till next time.....
