Relish has excellent wholesome tasty food. They do lots of counter foods plus breakfast favourites from eggs bennie to kedgeree. Our personal favs are the ginger & rhubarb muffins. Still slightly warm from the oven they are delicious with our morning coffee. Food is always beautifully presented, our muffin always comes with a dusting of icing sugar and a sprig of lavender. Warmth, friendliness, excellent food and good old fashioned service. June 2018. Wrote the above review a few years ago. The cafe has been sold at the beginning of this year and the food offering largely the same. Friendly guys running the place now. Went there recently though and no muffins.

So an interesting concept. A meat lovers dream with a brewery next door…read more The menu is meat, meat ... oh and meat! Everything meaty and very little light or vegetarian or really variety. I had hogget taco and my partner had pork taco. Kinda small, and not presented that well. Meat looked dry. However it was quite tasty but could have had more flavour and the tortilla corn taco an overwhelming taste. Corn and nectarine side salad very fresh and tasty. Although not sure that two thin slices of nectarine really qualify as top billing. Amazing chocolate honey drizzle cake. Mixed messages from staff. Some very nice, some dismissive. So 50/50 on everything. Would go back if friends wanted to but would make that choice on my own.

Can't comment on food but a very nice little stop and keep going a few hundred yards after your coffee then you walk in the parade with great sea views Only thing bothered me is they have wifi but wont share.
