Short read - this place is just incredible, go if you are anywhere near and consider changing your route if not. Longer read - We got lucky, we were doing the peninsula and had just visited the penguins. We were going for utility lunch but...thank god the beach restaurant was full so we figured there must be something in town. We were thinking toasted sandwich. Quick trip advisor said go here so we did, got last table. A number of things set this place apart, the food and the service. The food just isn't what it should be in a little cafe in a small town, it is easy eating standards but just cooked to a very high level, my daughter had the chickpea burger which was incredible. The staff are exceptional, the common thread through every other restaurant we have eaten in this visit has been that the people who serve us are friendly enough but lacking in training. If you told me the Lighthouse was a cooperative and founded by everyone who worked there I would believe you, what a difference. Strange colonial decor which makes you feel a bit uncomfortable as an English person, but brilliant restaurant.More
