    What a nice place. As Dennis Denuto says sagely, it's the whole vibe of the thing. The food and service were wonderful. We started with cured salmon and proceeded to try a number of share plates. The salmon was lovely and a couple of the share plates were excellent. My absolute favourite were the pork and fennel meatballs in tomato sauce. I'd go so far as to say these are the best meatballs I've ever tasted (seriously) and I've had a few in my day. They were just beautifully flavoured and cooked. They were nothing short of a triumph. We enjoyed the other share plates immensely too. Accompanied by a lovely Brown Brothers prosecco and away from the hustle bustle of the city it felt like paradise to be honest. I've deliberately not mentioned the cafe space or decor til near the end of the review. This is a basic rough and ready grittily hewn space with pebbles for the floor material and clear plastic sheets for walls. The foolish person will judge it from the street and dismiss it. Give me this place any day over some overdone concept cafe in the big smoke. The wonderfully named Ginger Baker serves lovely comfort food that satisfies. It also offers warm friendly service and is reasonably priced. For those reasons, it is thoroughly recommended.

    The Ginger Bakers succeeds in delivering an awesome brunch experience!!!

    If you're traveling with your pooches this place is perfect!!! Sit yourself in the spacious back garden facing the flowing river and feast on ricotta hotcakes with local berry compote, mascarpone and pecans washed down with a smooth coffee. What a great way to kick off a fab day in Victoria's Alpine playground!!

    Great food near the fire

    Fantastic cafe with great gf good and dog friendly too with treats for your furry friend. Have had great food every visit and now a favourite

    My favourite Bright lunch time venue. I've been returning here for about four years now, and the service and quality of food never fails to impress me. Great list of sharing plates and local beers and wines.

    Busy spot for a reason, well worth the wait. Highly recommend the corn fritters or hash-cheese-pea's!

    We had the corn fritters and granola and my husband declared them "best corn fritters he's ever had" and "amazing granola" - I totally agree.

    Plain basic cafe/bistro fit out. Little to please the eye here. The cafe has a nice open air area…read moreout the back which provides a view of the river albeit with a car park prominently in the foreground. 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.

    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.

    Eclectic place to have dinner in Bright. Charming restaurant…read moredecor reveals itself as you go down 13 steps into an old world cellar. Its tight and compact and thats why you have to book to get a seat here. Though the guys have tried hard to make sure you don't feel crowded at your table. The food is a mix of European with latin influences and they have a really good and interesting wine list. Its small, though its got a really good vibe about it.
