Yep. Yep. Yep. It ticks all the boxes. Amazing views. Great food and wine. And the location is…read morePerfect. We have decided to get s houseboat and moor it here soon. We found this place by accident while my husband was paddling the Murray. It's a gorgeous green winery right on the river. You can do wine tastings, eat their wood fired pizzas, local platters, or sip on one of their signature sangrias which I loved. True grit is also here in May. It's a secret I didn't want to let out

What a cool concept! Caudo Vineyard is located on the Waikerie side of Cadell, along the Murray…read moreRiver. Accessible via road or river, it's the perfect place to visit whilst spending your holidays along the Murray. Caudo's signature drop is their premade Sangria, you may recognise the sugar skull logo. They have both red and white on offer. We ordered a jug of the red ($18), and to be honest it kind of tasted like a spicy moscato. Not an insult, but not necessarily traditional. It's certainly sweet, and you can taste the orange notes... although that may be the hunk of orange they put with the ice in the jug. I do wish they would fill the glasses with ice and diced fruit. I think it would really bring out the flavours. You can buy 4 packs, cartons and large bottles of the Sangria to take away. A 4 pack will set you back $20. We got a pack to play with when we get home. There are other wines on offer too, as well as Barossa Valley cider and Caudo's Hogwash Bend Lager. Which was quite a refreshing crowd-pleasing lager. Very good for a hot day. Finally, there is quite a tasty little menu on offer. The local antipasto platter sounds like a delightful pairing with sangria on a summer day. The self cook BBQ plate looked amazing too! Annnndd pizza. All the deliciousness!! Overall, I highly recommend people pop into Caudo if they're in the region. I'll definitely head back next holidays... I'm keen to try a sangria cocktail!!

We only went here once for coffee in a Sunday afternoon, and I'm giving this place five star…read more Maybe it's the holiday runaway theory--- everything feels better and everything get tastier in holidays, you are away from everyday routine and sit here enjoy the sun next to murray river and have a nice relaxing afternoon. But I'm pretty sure their superb iced coffee and large size cappuccino made us happier, it's something I never get in Adelaide for under $10. I just ordered a $6 Iced coffee and they served me this large size drink basicly can called it a dessert. With that smooth taste and a giant scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream... mmm, this afternoon just got better. And the 'regular' cappuccino my friend ordered wasn't that regular, it's equal to the large size cup in other place, with rich chocolate powder sprinkled on top. By her word, it's also taste stronger than other coffee we used to get. Such a genuine place for food and fun. I saw what other people ordered and either a brunch meal or pizza are tempting. If you are in Murray bridge, come down and sit at the balcony area, enjoy the sun, enjoy the precious time before going back to everyday life.

I was a little underwhelmed with my experience at the renowned 1918 Restaurant to be honest…read more The setting was nice with a cosy warm fireplace blazing on that particularly cold and blustery spring evening. The wine menu is spectacular; they definitely have some high end stuff here - I couldn't believe they had bottles on offer for $300! We ordered a more moderately priced but beautiful Shiraz at the recommendation of our waitress. Nice they decanted it for us on the table as well. We had the beef carpaccio for our starter, which had a nice delicate flavour. For my main I ordered the beef cheeks which were tasty but incredibly rich. The vegetables would have helped cut through the richness but sadly the accompanying "baby leeks" were just 2 puny spring onions and the celeriac puree was almost nonexistent there was so little of it. Not sure if it was related to the meal, but afterward my husband did get sick to his stomach. He thinks possibly the steak might have been a little bit frozen in the middle but isn't sure. What a pity because that steak was the most expensive thing on the menu and he ended up throwing up the whole thing anyway... On the bright side, our friends who ordered the scotch filet and the gnocchi said their dishes were great, so maybe my husband and I just ordered the wrong things. The fresh bread we ordered as a starter was delicious and the house made parmesan oil was amazing (I was so tempted to buy a bottle as they sell them at the front of the house!)

Kangaroo was quite good - steak-like taste and texture coupled with some interesting sides like fig w/ feta. Service was very strong.

So we had a look in Loebethal and a few other little towns around but just couldn't find anything that looked appealing. Well, luckily we decided to drive the extra 17km to Birdwood because Pomegranate Cottage is a truly lovely place! They have a very cute outside garden, with a fountain and surrounded by lots of trees and flowers so on a sunny day it's probably the best place you can find in Birdwood for lunch. (Mind you the choice isn't that big either) Great setting, friendly service and a good selection of food, ranging from pies to salads, fish to meat and some sandwiches. I had the beef pie for $14, which came with a small salad (no dressing though) and fries. You could tell the pie was homemade and not coming from a freezer. Very tasty and in terms of size I think the dishes are alright for the prices they charge. One thing that bothered me very much though is that the waitress came clearing the plates of the 3 people that were with me while I was still eating. That's an absolute no-go and would be a reason for me not to go back. However, the food was very good so I still recommend the place.
