The food was pretty good. Although the Canadian pizza didnt have much guacamole or sour cream and the tomato base was overwhelming other flavours. The service was good and bad. At the start when they recieved our order they were lovely. When the food came, my partners food was dropped off nicely, my pizza without eye contact or saying a word.Then after asking for someone about getting desert, they never came back after 10 minutes and we again had to ask for someone. Otherwise the staff are nice and the place has a cool vibe to it.

Located at 135-139 Leura Mall, Leura, New South Wales, Australia ????????. This was a really lovely place to come to for lunch on our day trip to the Blue Mountains. It’s so beautifully decorated which created a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great seat at the front windows overlooking the Main Street of Leura so we were able to relax and people watch as they walked by. I had the Tropicana Pizza which honestly was one of the best tasting pizza’s I have had for a while. Absolutely delicious! . The frontage of the restaurant is really appealing and welcoming. I would probably recommend better selection of drinks. I was really wanting a fresh drink like a freshly squeezed juice but they weren’t available unfortunately. Saying this, I would absolutely recommend a visit here. Thumbs up from me!

The food was fantastic. Everything was plated beautifully without losing any of the flavour. My steak sandwich was perfectly cooked and sliced, didn’t even need extra seasoning. The coffee was great too, probably the best dirty chai I’ve had in a long time and definitely barista-made. The place had a really nice vibe, clean and tidy. Only thing I’d suggest is keeping the toilets better stocked with paper towels. What made the visit even better was the staff. Everyone was friendly, smiling, and made sure people were well looked after. A big shout-out to the pregnant Filipino staff member who showed so much patience helping customers who didn’t speak much English and wanted meals not on the menu. She really went out of her way. Overall, great food and amazing service. We’ll definitely be back.
