Sometimes I think there is a God especially when I visit
cafes and restaurants for the first time and have a heavenly experience. For me it is only a twenty minute drive to
Carrum from my home and a pleasant easy d rive at that. To find at the end of
the short trip a modern waterfront cafe with delicious food, stunning Port
Phillip Bay views and great service is a real blessing. My first “holy” experience for was breakfast one
chilly winter’s morn. Breakfast with
good friends themselves religious foodies. Crackerjack is a crackerjack.
Not only is there a main cafe area, but also decking for drinks
and coffee and add to this a function room. In the function room music
afternoons are held regularly (too, loud for me). There is something for
everyone here. The main cafe is small and extremely busy so book first to
ensure a seat. The establishment is modern and boasts extensive use of timber
and glass, all very nice.
Our host was most accommodating when we arrived for a table of
six, on a Sunday, in the middle of their busiest period. Service and staff were very warm and friendly
and meals arrived in a reasonable time. The kitchen is right on the ball here
with food not only being exceptionally delicious but hot and served promptly.
All credit to Chef and kitchen staff. Meal size is generous and pricing very
reasonable. Crackerjack is open seven
days a week. Go in a quiet period for a relaxing meal or drink. You will pay
for parking though.
A few weeks later we dropped back for coffee and cake. I
went for the wine list which is sufficient without being extensive. Locally
grown wines and beers are very well supported and this is great to see. Carrum
awaits you for Sunday service or any other time you feel sinfully hungry. Praise
be those who serve and thank God for Crackerjack.
