Hey Adelaide, eat here with kids! Skip the cafe’s, pubs and stuffy restaurants and step back in time to relive those carefree childhood summer days at Largs Bay Kiosk. If you are any thing like us, you have often wished you could give your family some of the 80’s and 90’s childhood that we had right?
This nostalgic little gem, nestled right by the beach, has all the essentials for a perfect family meal. Crispy fish and chips that taste like they’ve been made the same way for decades, juicy burgers, classic milkshakes and of course, the iconic treat: ice cream! Whether you’re indulging in a boysenberry cone or any of your favourite flavours, there’s nothing quite like being near the beach on a warm evening with the salty breeze and the sound of waves in the background.
The food is delicious at any time of day or night, with our favourites being fish and chips, burgers, cake, coffee, milkshakes and the scoops go with out saying. It’s well priced nosh and the serving sizes are generous.
The real charm of Largs Bay Kiosk, though, is its retro vibe. It’s the kind of place where families gather, kids laugh and play and your feet can be sandy.
After your meal, take a relaxed stroll along the jetty to watch the boats drift by or, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of some dolphins. On our visit, we even saw kite surfers putting on an impressive show, adding to the postcard-perfect scenery.
For families with little ones, there’s a new highlight, an ice cream-themed playground right next to the kiosk. Fully fenced and designed with safety in mind, it’s the perfect place for kids to burn off energy while you enjoy a drink in the shaded outdoor seating area. Watching the kids race around while you relax? That’s what summer memories are made of.
Eat indoors on the days that the weather is against you, or sit outside on the balmy beach days. We even like to take our hot chips and sit under the jetty!
Now we all know beaches can get busy in the warmer months, so if the car park is full, try parking the other side of the sailing club and enjoy the short stroll along the path.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite for lunch or spending the evening with loved ones, Largs Bay Kiosk offers a charming throwback to simpler times, where good food, good company, and good vibes are all that matter. A visit here is like stepping into a summer postcard you’ll never want to leave.
