I dined inside with a friend in the late morning. We received excellent service from our waitresses who were knowledgeable on dairy content in the drinks when I ordered lactose free hot chocolate. The food was delish, and beautifully presented. I loved how many of the dishes included Australian native flavours and ingredients. I will try a balcony table next time! 👌🏻

The ambience in the courtyard was peaceful and harmonious. The food is multidimensional, feeding much more than just the physical being. We shared different tapas meals and desserts and felt spiritually and emotionally deeply nourished by it all.
