Time Out says

If the floor-to-ceiling views of Cronulla’s Elouera Beach weren’t blue enough for you, Summer Salt went and reinvented their chic dining room to be fifty shades of the colour. Let us tell you, it is cool as. 

It doesn’t get more waterfront than Summer Salt, where the only thing separating you from the waves are a couple of metres of sand and windows. No matter where you’re sitting in the European beach bar-esque restaurant, you’ll have sweeping views of the shore. 

As for the menu, it keeps on theme with a Mediterranean-Italian influence. Keep it fresh with light entrees like paper-thin slices of tuna carpaccio, and chunks of octopus marinated in olive oil, chilli and lemon. For mains, curly mafaldine pasta and lobster come served on a giant platter, while the line-caught baby snapper is served whole. 

Don’t skip out on dessert, because there’s a limoncello tiramisu with your name on it. 

On the topic of booze, this waterside setting begs for a crisp drink on a sunny day. An Aperol Spritz features in the aperitif line-up, while the wine list has a healthy dose of Australian and Italian features, plus a decent Champagne offering. If any of the house specialty cocktails (like the Sunset Spritz with prosecco, strawberry, vermouth and lemon) don’t tickle your fancy, you can always order a classic. 

Strap in for a long lunch because Summer Salt is the poster child for sunny dining experiences.
