About beach162 Restaurant, Cafe, Bar

Unwind under lush trees or beneath painted ceiling frescoes over wood-fired slices and plates made for sharing. Part relaxed garden retreat, part vibrant neighborhood dining hall—this Frankston spot handles lively group milestones and low-key patio lunches with equal ease. Regulars lean toward the thin-crust pizzas loaded with savory salami and olives, though the fluffy gnocchi in rich cream sauce holds its own. Settle into a leafy nook in the rear courtyard with a cold glass of wine, then finish with the house-made sticky date pudding.

  • Lush Garden Patios: Front and rear courtyards offer relaxed alfresco dining shaded by greenery, soundtracked by live weekend music.
  • Eclectic Dining Spaces: Eclectic interiors blend Spanish artistic flair with fresco ceiling panels inspired by the Sistine Chapel.
  • Celebration Functions: Accommodates up to 80 guests for family milestones and receptions with generous cocktail and seated banquets.

    Pizzas made with thin, crisp bases and generous toppings, complemented by delicate handmade gnocchi and freshly prepared pastas.

  • Pizza

    One of the best pizzas I've had. Spicy, good salami, fabulous mushrooms, with Kalamata olives and, if you ask nicely, they have some superb anchovies. The base is nicely thin and cooked very crispy.

  • Gnocchi

    One of the best gnocchi I've had, fluffy, cooked perfectly in a cream sauce that was not too sweet.
