Nourished Wholefood Cafe

Sydney residents gather close together for a picnic despite warnings to stay 1.5m apart.

It’s no surprise that this popular café is packed during breakfast and lunch. Whether you’re running in to pick up a paleo bliss bar or soaking up the casual vibe over its coconut green smoothie bowl, you’ll appreciate its nutritious options and trendy vibe.

It’s not only the thousands of books that line the walls that have people flocking to Bookoccino. This friendly café also hosts live music that you can listen to while sipping your morning coffee or afternoon wine. Bring a friend or come alone to enjoy coffee culture at its finest.

Bistro Boulevard

Moules Mariniere are one of Brussels’ most popular mussel dishes

If you’re craving something more sophisticated than Avalon’s usual relaxed dining, Bistro Boulevard has been wowing customers since 1973. Resembling a classic French bistro, it features blackboard menus that showcase a mix of French and Australian cuisine. You can’t go past the freshly shucked Sydney oysters paired with red wine vinegar and shallots.

Sunset Diner

With its pink neon lights adorning light pink walls, Sunset Diner lives up to its moniker. This laid-back diner serves burgers, including beef, chicken, fish and mushroom varieties, shakes and fries in true American style. After dinner, you can walk down Avalon Parade to take in the lovely views of a real sunset.

Alma

While Avalon Parade boasts an array of restaurants and cafes, you’ll want to put Alma on your must-try list. This tranquil restaurant serves Mexican-style meals that are perfect for sharing, making it an excellent spot to visit during the day or night with a group of friends. Don’t forget to check out the cocktail list; it has several refreshing choices.
