Situated along the ocean front where Kingston Park meets Seacliff Beach – this venture forms the third venue within our family business after The Seller Door (café) - Jetty Rd, Brighton Beach, and The Local Canteen (coffee shop) - Henley Beach. In an architecturally designed new build by the City of Holdfast Bay and Troppo Architects, with uninterrupted coastal views, Nest Kiosk is focused on speciality coffee, quality beachside food offerings for brunch and dinner, complimented by local wine and beer.Our vision is to create a premium kiosk, where people can experience casual and beachside dining - think fish tacos with a glass of vino, as well as keeping true to some classic ‘kiosk’ offerings for those who roll off the beach and want an ice-cream and a cone of hot chips and squid.Our oceanfront venue can also transform for day and evening private and public events and featured themed nights - particularly in the Summer seasons.

Been coming to gondola for birthdays every year with my family and we always have the best time, our last visit was made even more special by the staff allowing us to be a bit fussy with our dining experience- very pleased. My only feedback is that the restaurant was a bit too warm

The best restaurants strike the perfect blend of great food (sensational) and incredibly personable wait staff. Our waitress was delightful, attentive and unobtrusive, and we immediately forgave her for taking the duck pastilla off the menu. The new menu was just as fresh and tasty and I highly recommend!

Lovely cafe with friendly staff. We sat inside but it wasn’t noisy. Impressed they offer complimentary cold sparkling water, along with still, from help yourself taps. Order and pay at the counter which is good so that everyone can pay individually. Food was relatively quick and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had fish tacos which I enjoyed but didn’t realise they were a hard shell tortilla - much prefer soft but that’s just a personal preference. The onions ring are delicious. Will definitely return as we didn’t have time to have coffee, which I believe is very good.
