Bibo Cafe + Restaurant wins fans for its warm, homely vibe in a charming renovated house with pretty gardens, a cosy indoor setting and a dog friendly front courtyard. Reviewers rave about the consistently good food and coffee, with highlights like all-day breakfast, an amazing breakfast spread, creamy coffees and rich long blacks, plus tasty toasties and Cypriot bread with feta, olives and herbs. The menu gets plenty of love for fresh, locally sourced dishes including seafood chowder, prawns in tomato confit, pickled octopus and calamari salad, steaks, duck, pork belly, haloumi on greens, mushrooms with overnight tomatoes and native greens. Desserts and cakes are a must-try, and there are shout outs for a delicious chai, strong coffee, hot chocolates and even tea served with extra hot water.
Several reviewers mentioned Charlie for friendly, personal service and memorable meals, including roast lamb dinners. People also appreciate the relaxed, family feel, quick seating at times, an extensive menu and the convenient later opening when many cafes close early. A lovely spot for breakfast, lunch or a relaxed glass of wine.
