Plain Sailing Elwood

Located just a few hundred meters from Elwood Beach, this gleaming corner diner offers a bright, inviting atmosphere with east-facing floor-to-ceiling windows and a five-meter terrazzo bench. The menu features Middle Eastern-inspired, health-oriented brunches, including favorites like the pulled-pork Benedict and the deep-fried bao bun stuffed with peanut butter and cookies and cream. A standout dish is the beetroot-cured ocean trout, accompanied by smashed peas, edamame, avocado, asparagus, feta, beetroot crisps, poached eggs, toast, and a caper-and-dill pesto-like dressing. The café operates on a walk-in basis only and does not accept reservations.
