About Surfing Lizard - Coogee

This breezy Coogee hangout swaps standard beachside eggs for robust Southeast Asian comforts right after a swim. Diners rave about the aromatic broth in the chicken pho and big bowls of spicy bún bò Huế, alongside crisp bone marrow fries and wok-tossed pork belly fried rice. The vibe stays easygoing across the outdoor seating—kids gravitate toward the dedicated play area while dogs lounge beside tables. Touchscreens handle custom orders, and shelves upfront even pack house chili oil and retail spices to carry home.

  • Southeast Asian Specialties: Steaming bowls of southern-style chicken pho, bún bò Huế, and pork belly fried rice offer a sharp alternative to typical cafe fare.
  • Dedicated Kids Play Area: An integrated playground keeps little kids occupied within sight of the breezy outdoor terrace.
  • Pantry Sauces & Spices: Packaged chili oils, spices, and proprietary cafe condiments line the counter for home cooking.
