5 star. We had a luncheon with friends, table for 4, end December. Such a beautiful experience on the eye, the palate & the surrounds. Delicious. I used to come here 20 years ago, same place, different hosts now. It lived up to its reputation of a gorgeous & humble place to dine. The stylish service was excellent, friendly & knowledgeable. The wine list has a simplicity of selection, yet a good selection & perfectly paired with the menu. Lovely to stroll on Clareville Beach after lunch. A treat for us to finish off the end of a year & bring in a new one.

We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon enjoying the degustation menu with wine pairing.
Absolutely outstanding! Cooper’s menu is original and exquisite.
All the staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and wines. We suspect they’re all sommeliers.
Fantastic place for a celebration or an intimate meal.
Highly recommend this wonderful little restaurant.

Went to the Clareville for a Saturday lunch and could not have enjoyed it more. Staff were amazing, the food was delicious and the wine was perfect. Went for a walk along the beach afterwards and head home feeling very relaxed. Can’t wait to find an excuse to do it again.

The most amazing, authentic Mexican food you will ever try. Staff are so lovely and friendly, always making sure you’re happy. Not to mention that the atmosphere is lively and has a traditional Mexican style. The guacamole, empanadas, barramundi tacos and birria tacos MUST be tried! We will definitely be returning soon.

It was my first time at this Mexican Restaurant. It was for my wedding anniversary and I must say that I got very impressed with the quality and tasty food. It was beyond my expectations. We had a 5 course meal tasting and the dishes were so well presented and tasty that it completed change my mind about Mexican Food in a good way. All the flavours mixed in such way that made a perfect balance. You can’t miss this amazing Alma Restaurant at Avalon Beach. I don’t have enough words to describe it. And what about the staff??? Simply unsurpassed!! Really friendly staff. The atmosphere and decoration invites to enjoy this great experience. Very well located at the heart of Avalon Beach. Opens till late. I will definitely come back again soon.

Great place for a special occasion, food was lovely and prices were reasonable. Service was great, table was given a free desert because of a birthday. Would recommend reserving as there is limited seating options

Sunset Diner was a great find. The burgers were delicious and the staff were warm and attentive. They even offered us a complimentary drink while we waited, which was a really nice touch. Would happily come back next time we’re in the area.

A big shout out to the new manager, Yasmin, who really made our experience so nice. Big smiles with a ‘can do’ attitude who moved tables so we could all sit together outside. She is positive, passionate and professional. A real credit to herself and to the Sunset Diner.
