Outstanding!
From the moment you enter this restaurant you are hit this amazing smell of coffee and chocolate. The decor is so beautiful you won't wont to leave, being surrounded by freshly cut flowers for all the tables and the absolute best music play list I have ever heard at any restaurant, which isn't obnoxiously loud like a lot of place's. The desserts i am told are made by an in house patisserie chef who made cheesecake and gatue for the spirit of Tasmania for over 20 years and supplied her housemade cakes to other restaurant's and cafes around the North west. I was lucky enough to stumble across this beautiful place and the desserts are so beautiful it's like getting a big warm hug from your mama when you eat them.
The lunch menu was incredibly scrumptious and the food all so fresh. The staff told me the savoury chef makes everything in house fresh daily and produce is carefully selected on a daily basis to ensure quality is paramount. The house made slasa verde and the ailoi and honey mustard dressing that goes with each dish is so beautiful and surprising on your taste buds.. and not to mention proper hot chocolates being made with real housemade Ganache. This is the first only only place I have been where they make their own house made ganache for their hot chocolates and milkshakes. The service is attentive and professional, and they come up to you, to greet you as you get to the counter, even when they are busy. which I may add is very rare.
Do your self a favour and try this beautiful locally owned restaurant. So many independent restaurants close down early in their infancy and this place is truly a gem.
And oh!
How could I forget to mention the owner has designed and created a perfume based on Tasmanian rose's, pink pepperberry and leather wood honey. Called the modern siren. This perfume deserves world wide recognition for it's sophisticated, elegance and longevity. I could not stop smelling myself once I wore it. It then dried down to a beautiful cocao tonka bean note on my skin... Absolutely divine.
I get so passionate about local buisness owners who are trying to make a difference offering something incredibly different, and unique. I truly hope this cafe/restaurant thrives in these difficult times.
Well done.
