My Husband and I had dinner on the 11th February. Harrison was our waiter and he was amazing and the food was perfect would have to be the best steak I have ever eaten in emerald.
What a little gem. Great food, warmed through toasted muesli was a nice touch. Fresh avo and crunchy, fresh soughdough. Attentive and friendly service.
Very popular restaurant for groups or individuals. Generous servings and excellent service. We had dinner and I returned for breakfast because I liked it so much.
The food was excellent, the service was commendable, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Good atmosphere with friendly accommodating staff. The food, a lamb curry, pumpkin gnocchi followed by cremé brûlée, was delicious. Being a Friday night they also had an acoustic guitarist playing background music. Will definitely return, and recommend this establishment.
Secret hidden gem! Quite literally As you drive or walk past this “cafe” you take no notice- we assumed it was your typical corner bakery cafe, the chairs outside might be your only space to sit while you eat… It felt like walking into cafe ‘Nania’ as we strolled on in- the wheelchair accessible path was fantastic as we came with a friend that required a wheelchair. We’re here from Brisbane, and came with no expectations, thinking because the rural location might impact produce/materials… but have we had the shock of our lives! The food, service and prices have all put city living to shame! We got the Big Breaky, the Veggie Bruschetta, and the Hash Benny! And they were all unreal! Massive servings, and seeming high quality ingredients- that looked like they were made with a lot of Love! Thanks everyone for such an amazing experience! Keep up the good work!
The food was amazing. Especially the curries and the mouthwatering barramundi!! The extra special suprises from the chefs was also a beautiful touch for my Mother’s Day Dinner - Thanks so much
What an amazing find in the town of Emerald. Our only disappointment was that we found it on the our second last day, because there are so many great thing on the menu, you would want to visit more than three times. Our dinner was fantastic with unique flavours. The Seafood plate had a variety, with a hot and cold seafood sauce. We will be back for another dish before leaving. Service was also responsive. Took the cheesecake as take away, and enjoyed the various flavours.
Wow the most value for breakfast I've seen for a long time. Very impressed with their large serving. I had a salmon dish and they didn't scrimp on the salmon or avocado. Lovely food and good service. Will be back!
We enjoyed the loveliest meal last night. We were served by Tayla who has a beautiful smile and a great attitude which made our evening even better. The food was well cooked and well presented. Definitely worthy of 5 stars for all aspects..
