(04) Why Sudda's

Tables on the sand under string lights at night with cold drinks and plates
  1. 01

    On the sand, not near it

    Cross the railway line at the end of Initium Road and you are on our beach. The tables stand on the sand itself.

  2. 02

    A sunset every evening

    We face west over the sea. Arrive around five and watch the sky change colour from your table.

  3. 03

    Food made for sharing

    Every rice and noodle dish feeds two. Add a devilled or hot butter plate and the whole table eats well.

  4. 04

    Open until midnight

    Seven days a week, 10 am to 12 midnight. Late dinners and late-night kottu are never a problem.
