About SODA CAFE Restaurant Located in the beautiful coastal suburb of North Beach, Western Australia, Soda Café overlooks the breathtaking Indian Ocean, and is elevated above both Mettam's Pool and the popular surfing beaches in nearby Trigg. The former Beachcombers site has seen significant change since Chef and co-owners Ben Andrijasevich and Bridget LeGrove restyled the venue in 2005. The result of this is a casual, yet elegant space, with both food and service you want to tell people about. Offering breakfast and lunch 7 days a week, with dinner served Wednesday to Sunday, Soda Café has fast become a favourite with locals and visitors alike. 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.
