There is a nice big area out the back To sit and table at the front under cover if the weather turns bad. The coffee was good and the staff were attentive and helpful. My only gripe was that we were sitting at a side bench instead of a nice big table. The food was amazing. Eggs Benedict on potato rosti. Yum it was all cooked perfectly the eggs were like molten gold with the yoke pouring out when cut into. The rosti were nice and crispy with out being too fatty. As side serve of chorizo and some kale to green it up was a nice addition. Yum. Please can I go back there. Don't hesitate if your in bright. The lunch and dinner menu also looks good and if it's anything like breakfast then it will be with it.

This might be controversial but the establishment has a slightly bogan air to it. It's an accurate observation much as I love my fellow man and a bit of lowbrow now and then. The eight people at the table next to us weren't so much talking as shouting at each other. We were mystified by the behaviour which was irritating. This place wasn't my choice and I was thinking rather dimly of it before our ordered charcuterie board arrived at the table. This near eradicated any negative thoughts I had about the place. The board was very nicely composed. Every single item on the board was as fresh as a daisy, dancing with flavour and lovely on the palate. The size was perfect too. Spot on for two people who weren't ravenously hungry. I arrived with a cynical outlook, we left very happy. It's a 3.5.

This place was absolutely jam-packed when we visited. The staff were friendly and efficient, but…read morethere weren't enough of them. Consequently, tables were sitting there with leftover dishes still on them, uncollected. We had to pick a table that hadn't been cleared and push the dirty dishes to the side. The food itself was really nice - we shared a burger and a beetroot salad, both of which were generous and tasty. The position is lovely, overlooking a creek. Just avoid the busier times and you'll be well looked after here.

He was scratching his head over what appeared to be some invoices and didn't seem to be particularly interested in we his customers. He was distant, gruff and unfriendly. All we wanted was a coffee. They came out eventually brought by a much pleasanter young girl. We'd asked for double shots but we didn't see much evidence of that strength. Taste was reasonable though. It's a bare pass only for this place because of the ordinary service. Sad stuff.

I had a fantastic coffee here in 2008 and rated it as possibly the best I'd ever had. Maybe the…read moreanticipation was too much? It was nice enough but lacked the creaminess from 2008. It's a great little cafe tho jam packed full of stuff to buy. Be ware...don't enter if you're a clumsy clot because you'll end up paying for anything you break including things placed precariously on a shelf. Thankfully, only lollies were placed in this fashion but be careful when you enter. The tables make the cafe very squeezy. Had me the pecan and white choc flan. Yum!

Our Monte Carlo biscuit was tasty but sadly excessively crumbly and fell apart when handled. Service was fine. A competent establishment for sure but it hovers nearer average than spectacular, although to be fair we didn't have a meal here.

Both days very busy but we were in no hurry so no problem. Friendly staff told us what time would be till service of food and pretty accurate.

An unassuming wooden door leads to thirteen narrow steps and an unexpected gem. The food is…read morecomparable to Melbourne's best; the wine selection is wide, deep and almost entirely local; the atmosphere could not be better and would almost have you believe you'd ended up in New York or Scandinavia and perhaps best of all the wait staff are knowledgable, attentive, friendly, welcoming and; if you're lucky; might even be the owner himself. My wife described it as possibly the best meal she's ever enjoyed and I'm hard pressed to offer a counter example. Dumplings and quail were demolished for entrée followed by the incredible duck salad and burger for mains. Desert was perfection: a boysenberry and vanilla parfait. Book in advance for certain as seating is limited but do not let a trip to Bright go by without stopping by. This establishment will meet and exceed all expectations.

They also do a great grazing plate with lots of yummy cheese meat and antipasto! My friend had the banana smoothie which was delicious too. Wait staff are friendly and have lots of country charm and the place looks like it would be comfortable in a Melbourne suburb. Has outdoor seating and big tables for groups or sharing as well as couches which is nice. They also sell fresh bread and yummy gourmet food stuffs like jams, relishes, teas and coffee which I always spend my money on. Definitely worth a look next time you're in Bright!
