I had one of their burgers and fries, and it was really good! The fries and fry sauce were awesome too. I was glad we made the stop here.

Terrific bakery cafe My husband and I had really delicious…read moredinner at this lovely bakery cafe! We really enjoyed our Greek salad, authentic wood-fired pizza and the excellent bread that came with the eggplant parmigiana. Mt Gambier is lucky to have a cafe that is open from breakfast to dinner. No wonder it's so popular!!

Breaky is to die for - eggy bread my fav, bean on toast looked to be delish. But crowning glory was pizza (rocket and prosciutto) we had this afternoon, I will be dreaming of this place for ages to come til we're back for our next weekend away. Cant come soon enough.

All the locals know mains are just entrees with extra pasta and no sauce, but the service and quality has gone off a cliff.

Atmosphere is friendly, comfortable and welcoming, we stayed for hours! Definitely check it out if you are indulging in some sweet sweet blue lake.

I had the tomato, bacon and baby spinach soup and the lamb rack. The portion sizes were generous and I really enjoyed the food. The servers were friendly and attentive but did not bother me too much, which was nice because I wanted to read. When they didn't have the wine I requested they offered me an alternative (more expensive wine) for the same price as the one I had ordered. Overall, while at first glance the menu seemed a little pricey, I felt that I got excellent value for money and would return to this restaurant again.
