Visiting our friends with a summer cottage in Somers, we spied this new restaurant while grocery…read moreshopping across the street at Balnarring Shopping Village. What a pleasant surprise of an open restaurant, bar, take-away specialty food and desserts venue in a sleepy beach town. We decided to try it out and made dinner reservations for 6 on a Saturday night. The eclectic menu choices pleased everyone of all ages. Our octopus and calamari starters were refreshingly spiced and tender. We enjoyed a juicy Paddock burger, chicken & king prawn laksa, steamed mussels (white wine garlic and Thai green broth) and King George whiting and tuna tartar with a side of caramelized carrots. We shared a bottle of their house Pinot Grigio and some beers on tap. Foregoing the dessert menu, we gazed at the take away sweets but instead, opted for a marshmallow on-a-stick that one can self-coat from a chocolate fountain -- donations for breast cancer were tossed into a tip jar.

The waiters were prompt and friendly there was a fantastic wine selection We had the Burrata as a starter with some bread, it was absolutely stunning, the best Barrata iv had. Everyone ordered there own mains and shared the vegetable sides, which was a fantastic conversation starter. With everyone having there own mains we ordered 2 vegetable sides for 4 people and i was the perfect amount. The perfect place to surprise someone special on a cute date.

A cleverly named business, the Village People boasts some very captivating wall art inside and is more of a play on it being an actual small town rather than a Village People themed cafe. You won't find an Indian or construction worker serving you breakfast unfortunately. They have quite a large range of options available for eating and drinking. I tried the breakfast burger which had homemade beetroot relish on it and was quite tasty, however the burger as a whole was a bit hit and miss, quite large but not super flavoursome. Their coffee is pretty good and meets the Melbourne coffee snob standard :) Toilets are located outside of the café but not too far. It gets busy among the locals so grab a table early.

Great hearty breakfast until 2pm and a wide selection of lunch items including savoury pastries and sweets. The coffee is a mild roast which won't necessarily suit the hard-nosed coffee drinkers, but goes well with the café menu. Kitchen is clean, service is pleasant and the place has a nice vibe. The toilets are also modern and clean. Given you don't have a lot of choice within walking distance of this place, it's a good thing they're not lazy here.

The soy milk was gluten-free too so I wasn't forced to have an almond-milk coffee either. Hurrah!
