Monis botanical cafe — Restaurant in Queensland

My sister and I had lunch at Moni’s; my sister having received a gift voucher from local family. What an absolute delightful and delicious experience! The cafe is such a beautiful vintage building with plenty of charm and that comes third though to the excellent food and drink we enjoyed!

I had the gluten free quiche with Moni’s special salad. I don’t need GF but the wholesome, delicate quiche had me gobbling it up fast alongside the local fresh greens and colours of the salad - a boon of flavours and Malanda goodness. 😊 My sister had the tomato pesto and chicken open sandwich on Moni’s home baked sir dough and that was just as delicious (sisters are very kind to share!:)). Boy! Can Moni cook! And then there was the homemade lemonade - a real treat indeed. The service was lovely with the team all working so well together.

I later was at a family lunch which Moni had been asked to cater for that same weekend.

Moni greeted me with a friendly smile and informed me that it was their baking day and so the Cafe was closed, unfortunately. I shall keep track of the Cafe's open days, and will be going back for more enjoyable food and customer service - great...

Gorgeous cafe in Malanda - a ‘hidden gem’. The coffee is amazing, and they use locally sourced milk, including lactose-free. Home made goodies looked amazing: fresh, tasty, generous serves. This is the first place we’ve come across that offers a half serve of bacon and eggs - love that! The people serving match the place: friendly, generous and truly delightful. Marking it on our map to...
