Swingbridge Cafe — Restaurant in Lorne

4.5 out of 5

This cafe is a beauty. This was my fourth visit here. They’ve all been good and the cafe noticeably just keeps getting better and better. There are some genuinely innovative dishes on the menu here. And, those dishes are executed very very very well. Add very good coffee, the physical loveliness of the venue and terrific service and you’ve got a mighty cafe, one that’s as good as any highly regarded city establishment.

Last year

Very impressively run small cafe in an idyllic spot. I had the Field of dreams dish today. This has beautifully cooked mushrooms, onion and an egg on fried bread. This is a very pretty and well composed dish. Lovely flavours. Mushrooms cooked perfectly. My long black was super as well.

One day earlier

Just a coffee today with a local. Lovely sunny day. Sitting in the light breeze beside the estuary with the beach in view was blissful. The coffee was beautiful, the service divine from multiple servers. The meals coming out looked fantastic. The local says the owner is Argentinian and runs the place superbly. Everything here is well done. Punches well above its weight.

Cute little cafe located, um, right beside a swing bridge. Gets very busy during the season. If you miss a table you can lounge on the grass. Coffee was very nice here. The barristas know their stuff. Service was terrific. ...

If you're looking for a beautiful cafe with delicious food and a stunning ocean view, Swing Bridge Cafe is the place to be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who are always happy to help. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a leisurely brunch, this cafe has something for everyone.

The poached eggs are a must-try, and the chai latte is simply divine. But the real standout here is the brunch menu, which features a variety of dishes that are perfect for a summer day. The prices are reasonable, and the quality of the food is well worth it.

One of the best things about Swing Bridge Cafe is that it's dog-friendly, so you can bring your furry friend along to enjoy the view with you. The outdoor seating area is particularly lovely, we enjoyed our easter...

Here we go. So it's late at night and I'm trying to read my book, yet I can't really focus. I'm fixated and salivating still, on the breaky I had this morning with some close mates to close out the long weekend. You'll enjoy all elements of any dish, I'm so confident this is the case. However, let me briefly describe one. The eggs, running like they need a 2XU sponsorship. The bacon, regal. The bread. Now the bread, this element holds a spot in heaven and the aoli can join too. So please, park the MX-5 with a view of the ocean, grab a chair outside and indulge yourself....
