OUR MENUS

Surfing into 20 years of service The Rundown Cafe has evolved into a fusion restaurant of cuisine and atmosphere. Staying true to our roots of casual affordable family dining we have also taken on the adventure of traveling the world's island archipelagos and exotic countries to bring you the menu and motif that is before you now.

Our Name is derived from a Jamaican Soup that 'Ran down so goooood mon'. We imported the name and the soup and so began our journey. Over the years our menu has developed into a blend of Pacific Rim & Caribbean dishes.

Since our inception in 1993 we've grown into a bigger building and completed the addition of the Tsunami Bar & Deck. From our ocean view & friendly smiles to our relaxed -casual atmosphere, The Rundown Cafe & Tsunami Bar brings the island experience to you.
