Link & Pin Cafe — Restaurant in Woy Woy

Link & Pin is on a busy road and looks pretty unassuming from the outside but step through into the lovely little courtyard out the back and you’ll feel more like you’re in a garden oasis.

The menu consists of old favourites done well.

My partner declared her burger the best he’s had in ages. Given the recent trend to American style burgers with sweet buns, mayo and well done patties it’s a pleasure to find a place that still serves burgers the Australian way with a crunchy bun, a big pattie that’s slightly pink in the centre and served with tomato sauce and mustard.

He also declared the coffee to be great.

My quesadilla with pulled chicken was also good. Tender chicken and plenty of it. I would have liked to see a bit more chilli in it rather than just a few jalapeños tossed on top, but I’m a chilli fiend and not everyone is.

It’s a casual place where you order at the counter. The waitress who bought the food to our table was friendly and helpful, happily going off in search of some chilli sauce for me.

Disgraceful, Mothers Day was totally ruined for my daughter in law and myself. My son had booked a table for 4 adults and a child. When we got there they had put us on a high table with tall stools. Not suitable for a family breakfast, especially not suitable for a 4 year old. That was minor compared to the rest. When they brought out my husbands an my eggs Benedict, it was 2 eggs on a bun with some hollandaise. No bacon that was ordered. We had to wait for the bacon and by then, the rest was stone cold. We were nearly finished our meal before my son, daughter in law and granddaughter got their meal, and that was only after we enquired after it. May daughter in laws pancakes were burnt and dry, totally inedible, the bacon looked like scraps from the floor, nothing like the rest of the bacon at the table. We used to go to the link and pin often....

Beaut place! My partner and I were visiting Woy Woy from Melbourne and thoroughly enjoyed our multiple Link & Pin visits, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks while watching the bands over a weekend in mid-May.

Cooks/chefs created superb meals. The banh mi was a favourite for my non-vegetarian partner, who ate multiple (would love to see a vegetarian banh mi on the menu 😉), while I loved the vego burger. We both thought the springs rolls were the best we’ve ever had. Great selection of food.

Wait staff are super friendly and knew their stuff. Owners are superb.

There was a good selection of bands over the weekend we were there, from folk to punk to jazz. All were great.

Can’t wait to...
