Certificate of Excellence

Description: To book a table plase follow this link: https://tableagent.com/perth/adrift-cafe/ ​ Welcome to Adrift Cafe! Located in the paradise town of Exmouth, it perfectly fits in with the relaxed atmosphere of the place. Adrift Cafe opened its doors the 17th of December 2016. The concept behind Adrift Cafe is to provide simple, rustic, fresh food made with love. We think that by using good ingredients and working with passion we can provide amazing food without over-complicating it. Our chef and owner Matt has been working as a chef for over 30 years, the last 15+ of which in the North West, so he knows the local produce very well, as reflected on our menu. Come and try it for yourself!

We had dinner here following a recommendation from a friend.
From the outside, the place doesn't look overly inviting and so I guess expectations are not that great.
The restaurant is very casual, with inside and outside seating.
The service was good - we had a very loud waiter serve us, that felt like we were being shouted at the whole time, however, he added carachter to the place and we found ourselves smiling every time he spoke.
The food itself was amazing!
We ordered starters, mains and dessert and each one was lovely.

The steak was huge and definately more than we expected. The seafood linguini was stunning and a huge portion. Our daughter had it for lunch the next day.

Don't be put off by the exterior of the building - our expectations were highly exceeded.

Adrift cafe
Waited nearly 35 40 minutes for a takeaway large English breakfast tea only to get what we would consider a small tea but to the guy making the coffees insisted it was a large tea and also to get a normal black tea not English breakfast!!! I watched how he made his coffees and let me tell you I have seen and mmade better.the young lady serving at the counter was lovely and very accomodating coffee guy needs a check up uninviting and rude.
I have herd good reviews for this cafe only to be very disappointed. Maybe next time

First time to exmouth I must say not much of a selection for breakfast around town not everyone is vegetarian or vegan. Nice town tho.

Recommend cadillac bar n grill.
