    Our meal was delicious. We had the seafood fettuccine. Service was a bit slow - took a while to take our order. It was busy and they could've had more wait staff on duty. Otherwise we were very happy. Never had a bad meal at Paperbark Cafe.

    The menu seemed to be more suitable to breakfast and lacked a variety of choices.

    Lovely breakfast, sat at an outside table and it was perfect, beautiful sunny morning, gorgeous outlook to the native nursery, food delicious as usual and staff excellent. Nothing to fault here; it’s an exceptionally well run cafe, nursery and gift shop.

    We have previously enjoyed dinning at the paperbark cafe. My partner is a coeliac and items were always marked as gluten free with a good choice of gluten free items. The menu today has no mention of any items that are gluten free, but we're told we had to ask when we order. Your menu has all the other special diet options so why not gluten free option GFO. The menu also use to change seasonally but this doesn't seem to be the case any more. We were disappointed as it use to be really good.

    Good Afternoon Philip, Thanks For visiting Paperbark café. Our menu changes every season. As per the "No gluten free Option" Legally we are not allowed to put the gluten free symbol on our menu, as we are not a gluten free kitchen. While once made aware in our kitchen, we treat gf/coeliac with our upmost care to avoid cross contamination. Thank you, Paperbark Team.
