I am a regular at the Purple Lizard and I find the food and coffee both excellent. I would like to say well done to new management, you have done a great job Mel and Zara.....

A great menu, which a few of us enjoyed, starting with an Antipasto at the bar while looking straight out onto the pacific ocean. The wine list was good along with a good selection of scotch and bourbon. The Anti was great enough for 4 people easy! Next up a fantastic carbonara,perfectly cooked Margerita pizza which the small(8slices) feed two and the beautiful pork belly delighted these customers! No room for the yummy desserts, but the cheese board was fantastic with them using whitestone cheeses and coffees.I have been here numerous times and enjoy the feel of the place. Some staff think they are above the customers and gush or seem condersending but most are friendly and don't overtake the table, which is important to me. Their wine knowledge can be a bit lacking, but maybe this is due to teaching? I love it though, and think that since its been here forever they must be doing something right! Toilets were clean and although they don't have highchairs, there was plenty of room for our buggy and they offered paper and pens to keep a toddler entertained, along with giant marshmellows and fluffies! Well Done!
