About French Basket Café & Restaurant Dee Why

Perched right on Dee Why Strand, this beachfront bistro pairs panoramic ocean views with classic French fare and specialty ONA coffee. Mornings start breezy with fresh baguettes, flaky chocolatines, and barista-pulled cups of the fruity Raspberry Candy blend. Regulars linger over brunch plates of eggs Benedict finished with velvety housemade hollandaise, or grab an alfresco table by the water for lunch. Come evening, the kitchen turns to hearty bistro staples—think crispy duck confit alongside rich potato gratin, oven-roasted camembert scented with rosemary and garlic, and bubbling alpine tartiflette.

  • The Strand Oceanfront Setting: Unobstructed ocean vistas set the backdrop for breezy alfresco dining right across from Dee Why Beach.
  • ONA Specialty Coffee: Expert baristas extract specialty roasts like ONA's signature Raspberry Candy blend for morning routines and coastal walks.
  • Authentic French Kitchen & Bakery: Bakes crisp baguettes and chocolatines by morning, then serves comforting classics like duck confit and tartiflette for dinner.
