This is an interesting set up. The main Café, with seating and a beautiful view of the sea, is right on the corner of Jetty Road and The Esplanade. Then attached to it but with a separate entrance right on the Esplanade itself, is a takeaway shop that sells seafood packs and ice cream - goes by the name of "View at 85" too. (That's what was printed on the receipt anyway). The Takeaway section is what we used today. We ordered the 2 pieces of Fish with small pack of chips & Tartare. If that was a small serve of chips, then the large pack must be enormous. Very generous serving indeed. The chips were crispy too - just the way I like them. Quiet today but would imagine they have a very busy time in the summer months. Jetty Road at Brighton has lots of sit down Cafe's as well as the Espy Hotel but this takeaway is ideal for those wanting to eat on the beach..... or like us, sit in the car and watch the waves. Would definitely go back again.
Approximate cost: $15
Thanks for your very informative review. My chips have to be crispy! Sounds like a great place to try, thanking you
