With its commanding views over the beautiful white sand and rusty coloured granite boulders of Binalong Bay, you'd stop here regardless of the food. The fact that local chef Tom Dicker presents an ambitious, Mod Oz breakfast, lunch and dinner bistro menu, driven by local produce and with effort on presentation, makes it even more compelling.

The additional fact that it's the only food outlet for miles, and there are few of this quality anywhere on the East Coast, means Angasi has a devoted local following, so you'll have to fight for a place on the deck during the summer.

Its idiosyncrasies - a result of the combination of big-city experience and fishing-shack culture - can be trying, but it's worth the drive out for a daytime culinary adventure. Quality accommodation options are limited in this area, so check carefully before you plan an overnight visit.
