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 met the other day for lunch for a colleague who was leaving. The staff were friendly, lovely selection of food with some nice gluten free options too. The food and drinks were served in a timely manner and the staff were very helpful with cutlery, condiments and water etc.
I would recommend Bennesse restaurant for any catch up !

Had breakfast here on the way to Margaret River. Was able to get a table quickly although became busy after that, at around 10am.
Very pleasant staff, very patient & were able to adjust menu item to cater to my lactose intolerance. Thank you!
We ordered the big breakfast, 2 x scrambled eggs on toast, and pancakes. Paid $60 after using entertainment voucher (would have been $80 otherwise). So a bit pricey but we enjoyed our meals here

We’ve just had lunch at this cafe/restaurant where we have been on three other occasions and each time we go there, we cannot believe the service and the food is amazing. They have some brilliant chefs on board obviously.You’ll need to put this on your bucket list to visit and enjoy the food – it’s absolutely fabulous. The wait staff are so attentive and friendly - an absolute joy to deal with, we will be calling in on our way back home in two days time.

My family and I visited this cafe today. We ordered the “sweet muffin” which was a rubbery ball of starch, absolutely bland, lacking in ingredients and flavour. When I expressed our disappointment to the waiter and the waitress they simply removed the muffin, which we had only had one bite of, and did not apologise or display any interest in attempting to satisfy us! The waiter then expressed to us that management were not interested and were not willing to offer us a substitute or a refund. Their poor attitude and lack of customer service is reason for us never to return. A word of advice, do not order their bland flour blob with a tiny piece of rhubarb on the top - aka their “sweet muffin”!

I was shock to be charged $16 for a GF toastie.
The GF options in the display fridge we’re all sweet.
I asked for a GF toastie. The waitress had to ask the kitchen if they would make it.
She said she had to enter it as eggs on toast (strange but I didn’t think anything of it).
When I sat down I questioned another waitress as to the expensive nature of the simple toastie.
She came back and said it would have been more expensive if they hadn’t put it in as eggs on toast. I said surely not!!
I was very shocked. I said there was nothing more than for me to leave a poor review.
The actual GF toastie was very poor. The cheese hadn’t been melted all the way through and I’m not convinced it was either fully GF or whether it had been in contact with glutinous things as I had a reaction later that day.
The cafe did give me a free coffee voucher but as I don’t live in Bunbury I won’t be using it.
I will not be returning.

Four adults and one little one for breakfast on Public Holiday Monday. A broad selection of dishes ordered, the Chilli Eggs with local crab was outstanding, the Brekky Sambo review was ‘the best I’ve had’, the eggs Benedict with beetroot smoked salmon beautiful and the ‘Forty Theives’, a salad of rocket, pumpkin, tabouleh, pickled beets etc was a huge portion which just needed a touch of salt to be perfect. Coffee was very good, service not overly friendly by the lass serving outside, only major pain was the flies. Well worth a visit.

We try stop here every trip down south.
We stopped on Monday for a late breakfast on the way home to Perth.
We had a serve of the bacon and eggs on toast with a side of bacon was yummy and the eggs cooked very well.
We also ordered the homemade beans, while they were tasty it was overloaded with onion, in fact it had more onion than it did beans! Wouldn't order that again.
Coffee was nice as always

My wife and I had a terrific breakfast there last Monday. The service was good and the food excellent. I had the scrambled eggs which were of high quality. My wife had the Farmer's Wife which was a pot pouri of vegetables, eggs and salad. Highly recommended.

We had an early breakfast at Benesse this morning passing through on the way home from Busselton. Fabulous food, tea and coffee. Staff were friendly and efficient. Would recommend Eggs Benedict with beetroot cured salmon, husband had Chilli Eggs which he loved. Super generous servings. I find hollandaise unnecessary with Eggs Benedict,so ordered it on the side and husband enjoyed it with his food. The food in the display unit looked very good if you don't fancy a cooked breakfast.

Everytime we head south we stop at Benesse, either on the way there or back [or both] and have been doing this for many years..
Lovely atmosphere and staff here and not to mention the yummy food.
On our way out of margaret river we stopped by for a snack and ended up having a ham and cheese croissaint, banana bread, coffee and a cupcake - very enjoyable.
See ya's next time 😊

Decent coffee and a very good breakfast. We had the Rosti, Farmers Wife and sugar plum pancakes. All generous serves and very tasty. Only detraction from what would have been 5 star is that the cafe would not allow a menu substitution (avocado in place of bacon) - I had to keep bacon (on the side) and pay $5 extra for avo. Not a big deal in the scheme of things but would have been a simple change that didn’t cost the kitchen effort or $, for the benefit of customer experience.

Five years between breakfasts here and so glad that we managed to find a vacant table with our friends. Friendly helpful staff and certainly efficient. The Avo Smash and flat whites were vfavoured by two, I opted for the scrambled eggs on sourdough with bacon side serve and coffee, my wife the Cookies & Cream Waffle and iced coffee. Delicious and warranted another round of coffees.

I just don't write reviews, but I wanted to let this kitchen know that their cooking is top shelf.
Small but important details like BUTTERING the beautiful sourdough of the truffled scrambled eggs! Awesome! All good perfectly seasoned and flavourful. The beetroot cured salmon benedict was a delight and the texture added by the pangritata was perfect.
Good cooking y'all. Love it

Yes they can make great coffee. Dropped in for an early breakfast. Staff were very bright and on the ball. We had poached eggs on toast with bacon and toast with “proper” jam. High quality food and service. Recommended

Yummy breakfast for 2 people. Both meals cooked perfectly and all changes remembered by the kitchen. Ate eggs Benedict with scrambled and potato rosti dish. Great
choice selection on menu, table service was very attentive and friendly. We both said it would be one our best meals in Bunbury.
