about us
Soda Café is owned and operated
by Ben Andrijasevich and Bridget LeGrove, who bring with them a
proven track record and wealth of experience in the hospitality
industry.
|
Ben spent many years as Head Chef at the highly acclaimed Balthazar
Wine Bar and Restaurant, and now his food style has made a comfortable
transition from a relatively fine dining experience to that
of a casual, yet upmarket café.
Drawing upon strong influences from his travel throughout Europe
- in particular Morocco, Portugal and France, the menu reflects
many of his trademark themes. The most obvious of these is his
seemingly effortless ability to combine a number of carefully
balanced flavours and textures, with the emphasis always on
local, well-farmed produce.
|
Bridget runs front of house operations and leads a team of friendly,
efficient and well-informed staff. Her philosophy towards service
is a simple one… "It's all about anticipating needs…
our customers should want for nothing."
The venue itself has seen some extensive changes since Ben and
Bridget joined forces with partners Greg & Fleur Gleeson
in December 2005.
The partnership brings with it a fresh and exciting approach
to coastal dining, and alongside the consistency comes their
ability to exceed the expectations of many. |

A couple of years down the track,
Soda has gained much recognition for its efforts, taking out
the title of "Best Cafe” in the 2007 Restaurant &
Catering Industry Awards. In addition to this, inclusion in
Gourmet Traveller’s Australian Restaurant Guide two years
running, further speaks in volumes of this great beachside cafe.
