My friend and I went here twice in one week - once for coffee, and once for a late lunch . The coffee is good - they use Rio , but they have their own blend made for them . Very chocolaty/ caramel notes - I must admit that’s my favourite type . The afternoon visit we had the trip of dips and the warm bread - the pita was gluten free but it tasted like normal pita ( not like cardboard) and it was such a treat . They do happily cater to dietary restrictions ( in my experience), so just ask . For the late lunch , I had the special - which was the crispy pork belly with Adelaide hills apple cider , and an apple purée - the apples tasted sweet and tart - and a lovely radicchio salad , which had a lovely addition of orange segments and flakes almonds , which gave it an added texture. The pork crackle was perfectly crunchy by the meat was so juicy and sweet . My friend had the Angus porterhouse steak on a bed of marscapone mashed potatoes- she completed demolished it . Her only complaint was that there was no greens that she could order on the side , as it would have rounded out the meal . Water is delivered to the table , and the service is efficient and friendly . The restaurant has a lovely relaxed atmosphere - there is both indoor and outdoor seating and on the second time we went , they had opened up the glass doors to let the afternoon breeze inside . It is also open for dinner - so may have to make a return visit.

Mediterranean Cafe Ristorante is a well-established restaurant in Glenelg with good service and a decent menu. However, the food quality, taste, presentation and price do not match their 4.6 star review. A 5 star Mediterranean restaurant must have delicious, visually appealing food- that is seasoned properly. In my table of four we have risottos, arancini, gnocci and the vegetable stack. Overall, the food was mid quality (at best), and we paid around $200 (which included 4 alcoholic drinks) The service was excellent, fast and extremely attentive. The 2 star review is a result from the overall food quality in relation to its price, and when compared to other offerings (for example Brisbane or Gold Coast restaurants) this restaurant falls short. For locals, this would be an excellent little place to have around.

You would never imagine that in the middle of a residential area you would be able to find an establishment of such high caliber when it comes to food, but they have absolute nailed it here. Coming from Melbourne for a holiday we were going out for dinner and the Mediterranean popped up as an option. The menu looked good and had a lot of options for those with intolerances (as required in the family), from the moment we called to book the quality of service was on display and shone throughout the entire experience. On top of that we were treated to a great range of local and non-local drinks, as well as some amazingly high quality (not to mention incredibly generously sized) meals. It was a pleasure to have dinner here and will no doubt be back the moment we cross the border once again.

Have eaten here many times and always been very happy with the food and attentive service. Unfortunately tonight was a very disappointing exception. Particularly disappointing given we gave them an opportunity to fix their very poor embarrassing $15 salad that was basically a lot of lettuce and a few bits of tomato, onion and crackers thrown in. Took the salad back showing them and saying they could do better which they agreed to do. Unfortunately when the salad was delivered to us again it was pretty much the same with a few more crackers thrown in. I’d be embarrassed to serve up a plate of essentially lettuce for this price. You guys can do a lot better.

Amazing food and amazing service. Found out about this place from a friend as we normally don't go out of the way to this area. Worth the drive there. We visited on a busy Friday night and ended waiting a bit for our food. According to the friendly staff Elliot, Thurs, Friday and Saturday nights are very busy while Sunday is more of a hit and miss. We may go back on a Tues or Wed night to enjoy other dishes. Loved the Paella, steak, warm chicken caesar salad and the desserts. We noticed a lot of pizzas were going out the take away window on the night. I reckon we will give the pizza and lamb dishes a try next time.

Went for Saturday lunch around 1.30pm. The restaurant was buzzing and we were seated immediately by the lovely staff. We ordered the seafood paella and the Scallopine Fungi. Seafood Paella (5/5) Incredible delicious and fresh. Definitely recommend this dish. The serving size is definitely huge. Scallopine Fungi (5/5) The veal was so well cooked and the mushroom gravy with truffle oil just elevated this dish. We are definitely going here again and the restaurant lives up to such high google ratings. The staff are really warm and friendly.
