House of Gabriel — Restaurant in Tumbulgum

Delicious food & picturesque views of the Tumbulgum River in the most magical garden setting. This quaint little house has both a beautiful restaurant and gift shop. Perfect for high tea, bridal showers or baby showers. The gardens are well cared for and it was wonderful to explore the different plants and show the children the fresh herbs,coffee tree, passionfruit vine, olive tree, spinach and the most amazing wisteria tree intertwined over the pergola.

Out the back was an authentic firewood pizza oven that wasn’t operational today but there was a sign saying Pizza’s Friday night 5 -8:30pm. We look forward to going back on a Friday night for delicious pizzas.

Best lunch in town, forget about the House of Gabriel, the biggest disappointment for a long time. Two stars for...

I really enjoyed the food at House of Gabriel. I was initially taken aback by the female in charge and thought she was quite rude, but later realised she is shy and not really a people person. She was a bit more polite after we engaged with her in conversation. I ordered the scrambled eggs on sourdough and they were a beautiful golden colour - a sign of lovely fresh eggs. The bread was the right thickness and toasted to perfection. I also ordered a cappuccino which may very well have been the best coffee I have had in a long time - perfect amount of froth and the flavour of the coffee was amazing. The decor and setting was lovely - overlooking the...
