About Little Jack Horner

Set directly opposite the sand, Little Jack Horner catches Coogee sea breezes with open-window street frontage and easygoing coastal dining. Coast-track walkers settle in right after finishing the Bondi trail, scanning QR codes at street-facing sofa benches for prompt plates without waiting around. Mornings belong to rich espresso, fresh muffins, and avocado and feta toast, while afternoons shift seamlessly to barramundi tacos, chilled wine, and oceanfront people-watching. Evenings unwind over funky ambient playlists and Thursday half-price pasta specials, capped by egg-and-bacon rolls served with tangy tomato relish.

  • Beachfront street seating: Open-air sofa-style street seating and indoor perches overlook Coogee Beach for ocean views and breezy people-watching.
  • Contactless QR table ordering: Digital table ordering lets walkers and diners order and pay directly without waiting on staff.
  • Thursday half-price pasta: Midweek evening dining features a half-price pasta special paired with ocean breezes.
