Other published opinions

Sydney Morning Herald Helen Greenwood, 12-1-2008 "Food: Hearty, relaxed home-style cooking meshes with the local bohemian beach style. Service: Under the watchful eye of the owner-chef, you are looked after like a local. Atmosphere: Off-beat, off-the-beaten track charm blends effortlessly with the beautiful setting. Value: Pretty good, entree $9-$15, mains $18-$26, dessert: $3.50-$9, cash only. Noise: Moderate to high. Recommended dishes: Crispy pork belly, roasted snapper, cashew nut brittle tart or any homemade cake"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 13/20 "Fireworks is that unusual and exceptional treasure: a little local cafe run by people who genuinely care. Forget the eccentric opening hours; everything, from the original butcher's tiles lining the walls of the eclectic single room space to the enthusiastic service and cheerful food, says the staff love what they're doing"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2007 Score: 13/20 "Ignore the daggy decor and limited opening days: Fireworks performs minor miracles in a small kitchen. A daily changing menu is written on the wall tiles. Breakfast has a Middle Eastern flavour: menemen - bright- yellow local scrambled eggs with red peppers and mint, chilli and tomato; or sweet couscous garnished with almonds and fruit cooked with rosewater."
