A very pleasant cafe with a great range of well priced menu choices and friendly staff. We enjoyed a seafood basket for two, for $30. Just a short walk from the ferry terminal and has a view of the water.
WOW!! I should have actually read the menu lol. I ordered the Steak Sandwich thinking I was getting a normal steak sandwich... NOOOO! What was brought out to me was a masterpiece almost too nice to eat!! And OMG! Do NOT fill up on drink before you eat! You will need the space lol. My beautiful partner ordered Alice's Aussie Burger and it was equally impressive! We will return without a doubt. Highly recommend! And highly recommend you take your appetite with you!
Have been wanting to visit this cafe for a while after hearing how nice it was. Came for breakfast with my mum, a local, and had a beautiful meal! The smashed Avo was delicious, my mum had the scrambled egg with chorizo and mushrooms, the food was amazing and well presented! Looking forward to making it a regular!
Probably the biggest burger I've ever had, and up there for the tastiest I've had in a while. The coffee was nice too. Good spot to have stopped at for the short trip to Russell
Local to Russell Island Gem. Food was tasty and sent out in really speedy fashion. Coffee was not great but can’t expect much from places like these. Service was efficient too but no niceties or smiles in sight. A bit turned off by the signage stating no changes or go elsewhere but other than that was a nice experience with live music playing in the background. Would give it a go again if on Russell Island again.
Nice little Cafe close to the jetty serving local favourites with reasonable price. Food are delicious & big portion, burger & fish & chips are always great
We ordered the veggie burger and the seafood chowder, both were DELICIOUS! Would definitely recommend visiting here if ever you’re visiting Russell Island. Staff are friendly and welcoming and service was fast and fantastic
Best Aussie burger Ive tasted and the customer.service was impeccable. Definitely come here again!
