La Cloche has terrific food and coffee and a decent small play area for kids. Main meals are very rich (as you'd expect with French food) but snacks are delicious!

Our first visit here and they impressed us. We both ordered La Casserole du Pêcheur which contained mussells, scallops, shrimps, and prawns - 3 of each. The casserole sauce was superb as was the freshest green salad. There was a wide range of lunch food to chose from and that on display all looked nice and very fresh. Everything was... More

We've had lunch here a couple of times - and the 2nd visit proved La Cloche is as good as we thought it was. Being a bit out of the city means it's not always convenient and parking can be difficult. Staff very helpful. Love the French pastries and deli food. Excellent coffee.

Just delightful . Make an excuse to eat there for that taste of France. Macarons to die for not to mention the tarts etc. Service always great and staff always friendly.....many other places should learn 'how its done'. Only thing is finding a carpark nearby!!

... because you'll want to throw in a few words to participate in the very French atmosphere of this delightful place. And the team is very polite about the sometimes mangled Franglais that results! We usually visit La Cloche for the café experience - nice atmosphere, good coffee and great counter food as well as brunches and lunches. (Although we... More

This is one of our regular haunts in our home town. I tend to be a creature of habit when we go to La Cloche, always having the ham, cheese and mushroom crepes that come with hot veges or a salad followed by lemon cake (or chocolate mouse) and coffee. My hubby has also tried their omlette several times. We... More

We Love La Cloche. My husband and I visit regularly for morning tea, lunch or just a casual coffee. I practise my French language skills - always greeted with great courtesy and a smile! Coffee is great, food is always marvellous and the service is superb. We pass many other cafes and restaurants to get to La Cloche. Parking is... More

This cafe is located in an industrial area and is easily missed when driving by but has a great little menu and doesnt take itself too seriously. The menu and most of the staff are french and i have to say that both dish's that my wife and i had were excellent. Looking to a return visit very soon.

They're French, they provide good service and food, the parking can be a challenge but well worth a visit
