The roast lamb pie was the standout for me. Really flavorful, well-seasoned filling and the pastry held up nicely. Grabbed an almond croissant for later too&mdash;still crispy hours after, which surprised me. Would happily go back just for that pie. Maybe not the cheapest, but decent for what you get.

The Korean chicken bowl was proper good &mdash; that sticky glaze with a bit of heat, really hit the spot on a cold day. The room&rsquo;s got that renovated look but still feels old-school, which I liked. Only thing, the two ladies up front seemed a bit rushed, but they were friendly enough. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind going back just for that bowl again.

The beef burger was a proper feed &mdash; big, messy, and exactly what I needed after a long walk. Coffee held up too, which is always a bonus. Place has a relaxed vibe, nothing fancy, but you can tell it&rsquo;s a local spot people actually use. Just wish the chips had a bit more crunch, but honestly, the burger made up for it.

Stopped by for a coffee and ended up browsing the honey selection&mdash;pretty solid range of local stuff. Cafe&rsquo;s got heaps of space and a nice outdoor bit, but inside gets noisy with all the concrete floors. Fine for a quick stop, just not somewhere I&rsquo;d linger.

Avocado toast was decent&mdash;good portion, just needed a bit more salt. Pancakes were soft and fluffy though. Fine for a casual breakfast stop.

Stopped here during a road trip and grabbed the cheese tomato croissant toastie &mdash; honestly so good, super buttery and the cheese was perfectly melty. Got a chocolate shake too, which was a nice sweet treat. Would definitely come back if I&rsquo;m passing through again 😊

Stopped here for a quick bite&mdash;food was fresh and the service friendly. Handy having the gift shop and tourist info right there too.

Stopped in for lunch last week. Pork ribs were properly done, fell off the bone and the sauce had a decent kick. Sat by the window, beach view is always a bonus around here. Had a cold beer with it, hit the spot. Place was a bit busy but service kept up fine. Reckon I&#39;ll be back when I&#39;m craving ribs again.
