Stopped in here to pick up a few weeklies to watch while we were on holiday. It's exactly what you would expect from a country Video Hire shop. Lots and lots of old DVDs and but a few new ones too. However there were two things that really impressed me. 1) They have an agreement with a lot of the local accommodations which means we didn't have to fill out any paperwork to get the rentals (just pay and go) 2) They have a special all the time where you get 3 weekly movies for just $5.50! Overall the experience was an easy and cheap form of entertainment for our holiday, plus they cleaned every DVD before they rented them to us. Will definitely be coming here again when I am in Dunsborough next.

Stopped in here for coffee and cake. The coffee was pretty nice and the cake was a bit below average. We had an Oreo cheesecake, it was very expensive ($9.00) and a bit overset (not creamy at all) but still enjoyable. The staff were quite attentive and the atmosphere was very nice. Great place to come if you have kids because they have a whole section of the restaurant dedicated to entertaining them and yet sitting at the other end of the cafe it was still relatively peaceful for a couple like us. Would go back next time we are in town.

If you love bread you will love this place. We had read other reviews that told you to arrive later to get the freshest bread. (thanks TinaP) We arrived at bout 3:15pm and got bread that had been taken out of the oven just 20 minutes prior! It was still piping hot! Hot bread, reasonable price, close to Dunsborough town centre. What more is there to say? I asked the man he said different bread comes out of the oven at different times but it's all out by about 5:00pm. A must visit!

Approximate cost: $6.50

We showed up without a booking and they were still able to get us a table. The service and food were both top notch, I ordered a burger with matching wine and it was yum. You could tell the quality of the produce that was used was top notch. Would definitely recommend. Like all the wineries the food is pricey but you won't be disappointed.

Approximate cost: $30.00

Awful. The atmosphere and location of the restaurant was beautiful but the food was just horrendous. Since it was the first meal of our holiday me and my husband decided to splurge and each ordered a porterhouse steak ($34.00 each). He ordered well done and I ordered medium. Our side salads orders were mixed up (a forgiveable mistake we thought) but both our steaks were so overcooked we couldn't cut through them. They were so unpleasant, chewy dry and uneditable. We complained and sent them back. The manager talked to their "team of chefs" who after much rigmarole deemed our steak to be cooked just fine, even though my "medium" steak has almost no pink in the middle and husbands was so past anything that could even be consumed by a dog. We were told if were not happy we could order something else and be charged for both our new meals and the steak or have our original steaks bought back to us reheated (how's that for service!- PLEASE). As we did not want to fork out any more money we had the steaks bought back, however we could not bring ourselves to eat them. After all this the manager asked us to "please come back".

It doesn't seem that the chef/chefs know how to cook proteins at all as another reviewer commented she had undercooked pork and overcooked salmon too. Don't waste your money. Go to one of the other many cafes up the road and come back and enjoy the view later. This place is not worth your time or money.

Approximate cost: $32.00

Average. He couldn't get all the marks out of my husbands suit and it was pretty pricey ($35.00 for a suit). The service was fine. I wouldn't be that inclined to go back but would try somewhere else and get it cheaper.

Yum! Loved it. The food was some of the best Japanese I have ever had. It was so tasty. The service was awesome. They didn't treat us like second rate citizens even though we had a voucher. It was Monday night and pouring with rain so we probably got such great service because the restaurant was empty but in any case the staff were very courteous. It doesn't look like much on the outside but there is a nice place to sit at the back which classed it up a bit.

If we didn't have a voucher the "banquet style" that we had (a series of several mini dishes) would have been pretty expensive, but the Benton boxes were reasonably priced (lots of stuff in them for the price) so we think we will come back and have that next time. Also I think when factoring cost you have to consider the location of where they are. It was really yum and we will definitely be back.

Approximate cost: $13.90 for a Bento Box

Not great. The meals were very average. The spaghetti I ordered was obviously from a packet. Okay but wouldn't go out of my way to go here. Pretty disappointed.

Approximate cost: $25-30

This is some of the best "shopping centre buffet Chinese" I have had. They have lots of yummy dishes to pick from (about 16 I think) and a large plate is only $10.00. This feeds both me and my husband. Like all Chinese though it's just not a healthy option and this is not exception.

Approximate cost: $10.00

The bento boxes are very good ($11.00 including 2 sushi pieces), the sushi is AMAZING ($6.00 for 6 pieces). The best I have ever had. I crave their Chicken Teriyaki sushi all the time, I can't go past without buying some. Everything is well priced and there is a nice little area to sit in so you almost feel like you are at restaurant as opposed to the places in the food court around the corner where it's far more "informal". Try it, I doubt you will be disappointed. My only complaint is they charge extra for takeaway wasabi!

Approximate cost: $6-$11
