Good hidden away gem. You can easily view Onda Food House on the bend on Great Ocean road when heading towards Melbourne as you come into Aireys Inlet. If you are heading away from Melbourne you will find Onda on the exit of Aireys Inlet (Lower group of Shops), though it is more tucked away around the corner in the group of shops in its location. Park in the carpark, you won't see Onda, until you walk (30meters) around the corner, there are signs given directions.
Layout is good with inside outside seating. Was not very busy mid morning when we arrived on a quietish weekend, but could see it fill quickly in summer time or busy weekend periods. Three rounds of breakfast, Avo on toast, Eggs Benedict with extra cooked tomatoes, poached eggs with bacon. (Sorry no pics of poached eggs) All presented, well and good size meals. All three eaten in a timely manner for how good the meals were. The results clean plates - sign of good meals. See attached images.
On the side, and important to compliment the meals - flat white coffee in a mug, Cafe Latte coffee in a mug and Ice chocolate drink. Nothing worse in my opinion if coffee is not good, it's like you are having half a meal. The person that made our coffee on this morning was right on point. Coffees were not too hot or not too cold. Just right that you could drink the coffee and taste it. So good, ordered a second Caffe Latte in a mug and was made by the same lady. The second was as good as the first. Good coffee technique. Well done Ice Chocolate drink, also on point. You want it to be chocolately and tasty, which it was. Yep recommend Onda if you are in Aireys Inlet or passing through. It's a small town, good to support local businesses. Worth our time for the meals and would...
Read moreThe food is good, the coffee is decent but not amazing. The staff are trying hard but I was annoyed by the policies. We had a group of 6 and they had two tables that could sit 4, but they refused to join them together. I expect it's some sort of covid thing, but it makes no sense. They also require you to order via an app, except for pantry items which are paid for at the counter. We ordered nearly $200 of food but when we asked for some sauce they said we'd have to order and pay for it through the app. Turns out you can't order sauce by itself in their app anyway. Not a good way to endear yourself to customers. I think the owner needs to rethink how the...
Read moreGod, what a super healthy and awful tasting food!
We ordered the Cajun tofu super bowl, which was bland to the max, and the other greens with sourdough bread, which was also extremely heathy, and superbly bland.
The fresh juices are really good and delicious. Coffee was great. Staff can't handle pressure- it was Melbourne cup holiday and they were busy. A request to wipe the table, which some other patrons left in a dire state, resulted in a terse response, " we're busy". Ugh! Not a good look folks! You're in a...
