Name: Girdlers Dee Why
Address: 7/8 The Strand, Dee Why, NSW, 2099, AU

Situated steps from the sand and surf of pretty Dee Why beach in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the family-run Girdlers Cafe is a must-try for health food lovers and wellbeing enthusiasts. The philosophy is simple but effective: the team prides itself on being a place for “people from all walks of life to mingle and enjoy their shared passion for wholesome, natural and tasty foods”.

The menu is almost completely dairy-, gluten- and refined sugar-free, and all sourced using local suppliers. While the buckwheat crepes have become a firm customer favourite, the rest of the menu is just as mouth-watering (and health conscious). Think coconut curries with pumpkin, chickpea and masala spices, organic jackfruit burritos, free-range chicken and halloumi tacos, and smoothie bowls overflowing with fruit and granola.

Whether you are is old or young, a family (the ‘Little People’ kids’ menu features delights such as fluffy mini pancakes and chocolate smoothies) or someone with food sensitivities (vegan, vegetarian or otherwise), Girdlers is a place for all to enjoy the best things in life.
