About
A chic, urbane and cosmopolitan cafe right in the heart of a bush frontier town. The cafe serves a wonderful range of freshly in house prepared meals. From fry ups for breakfast (including veggie options), juice and smoothie bar, to lunch time favourites that includes simple soups and delicious wraps and paninis, to homemade burger patties, home made pizza and pasta, fantastic salads, brilliant steaks, and exceptional local bream. It is no idle boast that all meals are prepared fresh and fully in house: including baking all our own bread, making all our own pasta, hand making our burger patties and pizza bases.

Really tasty and a must do in vic falls

What should I say? It's a really nice restaurant directly to the falls. We've been a group of 6 and tried different meals. Everything was tasty and the nice waitress served always with a smile.
