Yarra Ranges Estate - Food VIC

Alysa Clorley If I could give this gorgeous cafe more than 5 stars I would! Set in the lovely little town of Cockatoo is Brunch On McBride. There’s a great amount of indoor seating with a relaxed ambiance. It’s a pretty little cafe cosmetically but the coffee and food is the main reason why you come here. The owners Elise & Paul are just the nicest people. Their coffee is rich and hot, they have a great selection of homemade cakes/muffins/slices. Perfect sized sandwich bar with a huge selection and they even have a fridge with home made items to buy and take home such as their delicious lasagne. They are open for breakfast (my absolute favourite), morning tea, lunch and then close mid afternoon 6 days a week (closed Mondays). Pricing is excellent and they are happy for you to bring in your own take away coffee mug to fill up! Take the trip and come and visit. Love this cafe!!

Jane Lawrence Was looking for somewhere to have dinner during our 2 night stay in Emerald, and wasn’t disappointed that I picked Capricornia. I had the duck breast salad for entree and then the Portuguese Lamb for main course. I thoroughly enjoyed both courses. The staff were friendly and polite and I would be happy to recommend this restaurant to others.

Vin Dzy Good food and good atmosphere ,I highly recommend this place .

Daniel By far one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Staff were friendly, service was quick. We got the Marghereater and the Mad Spanian, both delicious. Would highly recommend anyone to try even if you’re not from the local area.

Vi Dang We finally got a booking at Chae (after what felt like forever trying the lottery) and when a last-minute Friday spot opened up at the end of August, we said cancel whatever plans you had. Set in Chae’s own kitchen in Cockatoo, the dining experience feels incredibly personal and wholesome. There’s this quiet rhythm in how she moves around the space, preparing and plating each dish with care. It’s homely but so refined at the same time. The food leans into comforting Korean dishes elevated by her in-house ingredients, everything from the sesame oil to the soy sauce and pastes are fermented and made by Chae herself. You can really taste that depth in the simplicity of her flavours in majority of courses. We ended on her glutinous donut and it was just unreal, what a highlight. It’s an intimate and thoughtful dining experience that feels unlike anywhere else in Melbourne. The price point of $140 is so reasonable given a drinks pairing is included. So glad we finally ticked this one off our list!

Lynn I think the qr code when ordering was slower than the line

Kate Griffin Weve just come home from the first all you can eat buffet at The Golden Spoon and oh my! It was soooo good!! The food was absolutely delicious and there was so, so much of it! I think all of the tables that participated said the same things. If you are looking for a good, tasty, cheap feed give it a go next Sunday!!

Joshua Waldron Ordered all fried food. Dim sims, potato cakes, crab sticks and medium chips. Ate the food at the lovely play ground down the road. No complaints from the kids or the lovely wife!

Hollie Alexis Really enjoy the food it’s really good. The only thing I would comment on is the portion sizes for the curry’s there could be more meat in them and when dinning in the alcohol drinks could have more alcohol in them.

Anna Felicitas Cozy cafe, prices are quite high but service is lovely - the orange haired barrister was very kind, and coffee was great.
