I had lunch here with 3 friends/workmates. The place is mainly a catering company but provides a smallish menu of specials and wraps to be eaten in or taken away. The seats are mostly outside in a small courtyard and they have not yet had heaters installed there. The are a very few seats and tiny table inside where we ate our lunch. The food was quite tasty tho the promised oven roasted tomatoes were ordinary raw salad tomatoes. Service was quick and pleasant and prices quite cheap.

Approximate cost: $8

We had a really yummy lunch here. The Tasmanian salmon crepe was delicious and my daughter's sausages and mash weren't bad. Service was prompt and pleasant. We enjoyed a glass of local wine and found the decor "interesting". There is also a Tudor Village and Model Railway here, but these can only be viewed at certain times on guided tours.

Approximate cost: $22

We had a quick lunch here. Service was prompt and pleasant. Servings were small but tasty [we has steak sandwiches-the steak was tender but there wasn't much of it!!]. Lunch menu was limited, no soft drinks on menu although they were available. Some of the meals were quite expensive. This is a very new restaurant and there may be some improvements in the future.

Approximate cost: $15

My daughter and I had lunch here. I think we were the only customers most of the time, but the restaurant has only just opened so maybe people don't know about it yet. [used to be all you can eat buffet]. We enjoyed our meals though my lamb was quite tough. Decor fine, service quick and pleasant. Good to be able to select your own choice of noodles, sauce etc. Plenty of parking.

Approximate cost: $14

We had lunch here the other day. The menu was hard to read and the waiter's explanation was too quick to be able to fully understand just what was on offer. The food came quickly, with some fresh rolls to snack on while we waited briefly for the main courses. All were tasty but quite expensive for what you got. [I had a lamb pasta meal which was unusual and filling]. There was an extensive wine list with plenty of wines available by the glass.

Approximate cost: $24

We had seen an ad for this cafe in a local paper. It looked interesting and the ad said that Devonshire teas were available. When we arrived there was no mention of this on the menu, but we asked the waitress and after checking her watch she said yes we could have them. The scones and tea/coffee arrived very quickly but unfortunately the scones were a bit rubbery. The tea, jam and cream were fine. The tea was strong and plentiful.

A fairly large group of people had lunch here to say farewell to a workmate. We had ordered our meal in advance and just had to pay for it on the day. We were given pagers to let us know when our food was ready. It all arrived amazingly quickly. The food was tasty and freshly cooked and the meals were very large.

We had lunch here on a weekday. The food was great, huge helpings and what seemed like unlimited rice. The service was a little slower than we would have liked as we were on our lunch break. It was a bit more expensive than we expected, but is a good place for a leisurely celebration meal.

Approximate cost: $20

I bought a ready made ham roll, initially without noticing the price. When I was told it was $8, I was a bit horrified, but bought it anyway, as I was in a hurry. The roll was fresh and very tasty, but not worth $8!

This review is for Fogo Brazilia, Chatswood NSW

This place was recommended to us by a friend, she said she especially liked the chips. We had two dishes, one lamb and one chicken, with a selection of rather strange salads. Unfortunately, we really didn't like the food, although we gave it our best shot, we decided Brazilian cuisine is not for us (though we are usually very adventurous in our food choices). We got large servings, which we were unable to finish - partly because there was too much, but also because we really didn't much like it.

Approximate cost: $12
