It could be quite pack by then as its the nearest to the feeding area but you will not be disappoint with the fresh seafood you could get from the place. The portions is quite huge if you ordered just fish and chips, they will serve you the chips wrapped in paper and enough to feed 3 pax:) lol I ordered the fisherman's basket which has 2flathead fish, 2 prawns, 2 scallops, 2 calamari rings,chips, lemon and a large tartare sauce. Overall the seafood is fresh and tasty, the chips are a little too much. They also have specials not on the menu too, for today's special is grilled prawns, 6 huge prawns with chips and salad just for 16 dollars. I find it awesome !

After disappointing meals at another local joint we usually take our Thai cravings to Macrae beach but now we've discovered this place it's going to be easier to stay local!! Kacha Thai offers an authentic and tasty Thai menu. While we arrived on a very busy night in summer and service was stretched, staff managed our expectations and the food was worth waiting for. Our group of three tried the chicken wontons, prawn kway tao, the prawn waterfall salad and sweet and sour chicken with coconut rice. Each dish was fresh, delicious and demolished :) You can't buy alcohol but the restaurant is BYO with a bottle shop only a few doors down. Our only mistake was not leaving room for dessert. Banana roti sounds amazing and is on the list for our next visit!

Even more tacky random Mexican stuff lined the walls, ceilings and wherever else it could be nailed to and the sounds of screaming kids welcomed us in. We didn't have a booking but got a table without a hassle, but I could see it being very busy in here during peak holiday times. We ordered a margarita sampler each, which was four different flavours of margarita in small glasses of (Lemon, Strawberry, Pine Lime and Mango). They were all very quite and didn't taste like there was much alcohol in them at all. After our recent travels around America the sight of queso on a menu resulted in that being quickly ordered. It had a lot more beans in it than anything else and not a lot of cheese, but it was quite nice and the chips that came with it were tasty. For main I ordered a soft taco combo plate, which were okay but nothing special. Someone else at our table ordered the fajitas which was quite a large dish and was rather tasty. I probably would not return to Panhandle, but if you're in the mood for what is probably the only (Tex) Mexican on Philip Island it's worth stopping in to.

Ok, so I am giving this place the benefit of the doubt. It is Mexican food in Australia. It was…read moredefinitely not the best, but it works. It had chips and salsa which was what I needed, since I was somewhat tired of eating beef. Now that being said. This is the cheesiest Mexican food place on planet earth. If you could buy a cheap souvenir the owners have bought it and it now sits on their walls. There were mexican hats, texas license plates, cowboy pictures and about everything else possible. Wow... The service was actually good. Although we were the only people in the place, not a good sign at 6pm.

With an open view out to the water I visited on the first day of a long weekend and the vibe was relaxed. Coffee arrived with a layer of milky foam I was frothing to drink it and it didn't let me down. Flavours were subtle and it went down smooth and easy. Food was a delicious umami delight. My order was the Madcowes Hash ($18), the large croquette was crispy, kasundi mushrooms meaty, egg soft and oozing offset nicely with crisp watercress. Looked good and tasted great .. olive oil was so fresh it was almost fluorescent green! Grab the bull by the horns and pop into this cafe when you're next in this small seaside town. Papers a plenty! Music - none, just the sound of voices reverberating around. Less ambiance but easy to chat

I'm glad I found this place !…read more Looking for a place to have a quick meal while i was visiting Phillip island, I ended in Cowes, I first went to another place, without any reviews and that I couldn't even see on Yelp, to give it a try. I sat, saw the waitress passing in front of me and watching me two times, and after 5 minutes without getting any intention (at least maybe, giving me a menu?) I decided that, well, maybe it was enough. THANK GOD (or whatever I don't believe in) because I ended up here instead ! Decided to go healthy (that's impressive Pierre) and had the Mad Cowes chicken salad (as you could see in the pictures) and it was a freaking good as it looked awesome ! The seasonning was just perfect, the chicken was not dry at all, and... I HATE THE CUCUMBERS (ALL OF THEM) You don't know me, but it's a big deal, if I say to my friends that I ate cucumbers, they would die instantly. It's like Superman eating Kryptonite, or... Batman eating his dead parents ! (it's a big deal) I had a perfect lemon meringue pie with a marvelous Mocha and that was it, I'm in love. oh and add a friendly staff, and a wonderful view on the ocean. YEAH
