The Red Door Narrandera — Restaurant in Narrandera

We returned to this busy and recommended spot for lunch once the hustle and bustle and noise had died down. The Earl Grey tea was fabulous. More like French Earl Grey. Commented to a tall gentleman who was as clearing tables on how good it was. Our meals arrived and my husband’s prawn linguine smelled delicious and he ate every last bit. I had the beef and cashew salad. Great colours and freshness. Fabulous except for the beef. Every mouthful was dry and chewy and every mouthful required me to remove the gristle and pop it on my napkin. I left the dining area to go to the bathroom - leaving the plates at our table stacked and the 15 or so pieces of chewed gristle on my napkin. Same guy I praised on the tea collected the plates but he couldn’t be bothered with the feedback. My husband then approached another staff member to see what her response would be, but all he got from her was some chat about the butcher. What I will do next time - is return my lunch for something else or request my money back. You know darned well when you cut and cook steak if there is gristle - why serve it…. At top...

I was quite shocked and disappointed by the terse attitude of the male owner of the Red Door cafe when we were visiting Narrandera recently …I am a coeliac, and requested gf toast with eggs, querying how the toast was cooked, but his response was basically along the lines, that he couldn’t ( be bothered) cater for “so many people with allergies”!! That sort of response is unacceptable in this day and age. Thereby, the scrambled eggs...

A beautiful spot whether for shopping, or dining. Service is friendly, those Mexican tacos with sticky pork are all kinds of glorious, but the USA burger was disappointing. The menu promised a brioche bun, but the Turkish roll replacement should I have been told about when placing the order was enormous in comparison to the small, barely-seasoned and overcooked...
