Food is very delicious and available all day. Owner was also very kind to offer us extra aioli sauce which was very generous of him. Overall, a very good food especially after a nearby hike at Devil’s Punchbowl! Definitely will come back again!

We came through Arthur’s pass late and found this place with the lights still on. It was a super calm vibe (which was just what we were looking for). We played some cards and enjoyed some good food. The two Cafe employees were super kind and the food arrived quickly. It won’t be seeing a Michelin star anytime soon but I’ll certainly be back.
