Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were visiting this cafe on our way up north and were so impressed with the friendly and efficient staff! The food recommendations were amazing with obviously high quality ingredients. The meals came out quickly and they even provided extra cutlery and plates as we were sharing our meals. This is a must try! We will definitely be back just for the service.

Came here with my sister and Nan last weekend! We were lucky to dine out just before lockdown. I loved how beautifully presented the meals were. They really take their time to pack a simple breakfast dish full of flavour.The coffee was beautiful and strong. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. We came at around 10am on a Saturday morning and were found a table straight away however i could see there were a lot of reservation signs on tables so probably best to book if you have a larger group. Food came out in a reasonable time as well! Best cafe on the northside in my opinion, ticks all the boxes ❤️! Will definitely be coming back with the rest of the family post lockdown.

I’ve eaten lunch here several times in the past month while trying to settle my 96 year old mother into a nearby aged care home.
I love the ambience. Dining on the terrace has been very comfortable in this warm weather and feels COVID safe. There a considerable menu that would suit most palates. Everything has been delicious and well presented withI one exception. The Moroccan chicken, while very tender, lacked the punchy distinctive flavours of Moroccan cuisine. In every other way it’s been an excellent lunchtime experience.

We booked a large table of 9 plus 3 kids for Mother’s Day - was never told it was a high tea when we booked . When we arrived and sat down we were told it was $36pp for a few tiers of pastries, mini muffins, scones and a couple of mini hot dishes. They told us a message was sent out regards to the high tea to all bookings however there was nothing mentioned about the high tea in our message, they were only confirming numbers. We explained this to the waiter and we got no apology. We decided to stay as we knew the food at putia is always good however we were still unhappy about the high tea and were looking forward to ordering from their regular breakfast menu. We waited for 1hour 15 mins to be served mini cakes and mini croissants and an orange juice each. Poor service and communication from waiters, we enquired a couple of times regarding where our food was, especially as we were waiting on food for the children and they were getting restless, the waiter didn’t apologize and instead stated ‘well you guys were standing up talking and socializing so we didn’t put the order through yet’ and were also told there were other groups in front of us, however the restaurant had multiple empty tables and we were booked for 9am, they knew how many people were coming the food should have been started or almost ready for when we arrived as it was pre booked. Most of us left hungry and couldn’t believe we paid $36 pp for a few mini muffins, cakes and pastries!! Putia has always been amazing for food and service but this was terrible and not worth the money. When we were paying we were asked how it was, we told them we weren’t very happy and again no acknowledgement from staff or management. There were also other people at the restaurant who arrived and weren’t aware we were locked into a high tea brunch style meal. Very disappointing for mother’s day.

Really disappointing food after all the rave reviews! I had the snapper fillet which was over cooked - dry and tough on an OK salad.
Staff were wonderful however and Debbie offered to get me another but I had to get to the airport. Debbie kindly offered a desert to make amends so I did have a delicious bliss ball. Shame the lunch was such a miss and cute place and wonderful staff. Thx Debbie!

Dear J Macin,
Thank you for the feedback. It is disappointing to hear you were not 100%satisfied with your meal. Your response was discussed with our chefs who advised and agreed with you that although the fish was fresh, this particular type of snapper came out a bit tough with the usual method of cooking it. The market fsh was recalled and was replaced by a different type of fish that was up to our standards.
Thank you for the kind words towards Deb, she is an exceptional host and we are grateful to have her in our team. I wish to see you back again soon to try our healthy wholefood menu and I am confident you will not be disappointed again.
Pure Regards,
Stavros

We don't normally come by this area, and I'm not even sure if we had been to Banyo before. However, it is a lovely area, with a nice vibe - just like this little café we stumbled across on our way to a Boondall wetlands walk. The service was A+, our waiter was very friendly. The food was delicious, and felt truly home made, rather than something bought in bulk from a company. The view out to the train station with the flowering pink crepe myrtles was also very quaint.

Wonderful! Our brunch for eight people was a breeze here, with universal agreement that our meals were delicious. Between us we sampled six of their dishes and all exceeded expectations. The menu had something for everyone, the atmosphere is quirky rustic, and the staff friendly, polite, and efficient. I find myself wishing either that I lived closer, or that they’d open a place closer to me! I’ll be back, and I’ll be bringing my friends. Highly recommended.

What a great little find - the cafe is on a corner in a suburban area, and is quite shed like. The food and service is excellent. The menu is plentiful and some quite unusual combinations however it works. I have eaten there about 5 times now and have never been let down!

Service us very good and nice venue. Food is good but wgat spoilt it for us was no flexibility. We asked for egg not to be placed on top of one of specials. Happy to pay same and no substitute. Unable to do. I had gnochhi which was lovely and did come with egg on top. Odd addition and wasn't needed and poached was more like hard boiled. Small thing but a bit disappointing

Celebrating a milestone in our life and being isolated Putia helped make our special day very special. The home delivery food and wine were superb and couldn’t have been improved if we had dined out.. thank you Putia. The food and service were worth 5 stars and more.

Great food, really great. The staff were lovely. We booked a table and asked if mum could bring her little dog. When we got there a bowl of water was already beside the table. Will definitely be going back for more.
