THE MOST AMAZING FRENCH CREPERIE DELI CAFE SPECIALISING IN TRADITIONAL FRENCH CREPES AND GALETTES. THERE IS A MARVELLOUS SELECTION OF DELIGHTFUL SIDE DISHES AND DELI ITEMS. THE MENU CATERS TO ALL TASTES AND ALL FOOD IS FRESHLY COOKED ON THE PREMISES BY THE MOST DELIGHTFUL CHRISSY.
THERE ARE ALSO GLUTEN FREE, VEGAN AND DAIRY FREE ON THE MENU MADE FROM TRADITIONAL FRENCH RECIPES. NOTHING IS DIFFICULT IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE AN INGREDIENT YOU ONLY HAVE TO ASK AND C'EST FAIT (IT IS DONE). THE MAGNIFICENT COFFEE IS ORGANIC WHICH IS PREPARED BY EXPERIENCED BARISTAS ALL WITH THE MOST ENGAGING SMILES. THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE CAFE IT IS SO MUCH MORE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND A RELAXING SUNDAY BREAKFAST/BUNCH. THEIR OPEN DAYS ARE TUESDAY TO SUNDAY INCLUSIVE. BONNE APPETIT!!

We recently required some short term accommodation and found this wonderful place online. It was so easy to make the booking and communication was first class. Location is excellent walking distance to a wonderful cafe/restaurant precinct as well as local parks and waterways. When we arrived it was a most pleasant experience - this is truly a pet and people friendly house. There is a great yard area for pets including a dog shelter. Not only were treats left for the people, there was also a doggie box with "bikkies" for the pets. The house is a Queenslander inside and out. Absolutely spotlessly clean, very well furnished, plenty of space, TV DVD, all the comforts of home. You could not ask for better. All for a very reasonable nightly tariff.

There is so much to choose from!! This little shop is amazing, I did not realise there were so many combinations of fudges and chocolates. It took us about an hour to make our purchases because we couldn't make up our minds which to select. Plenty of parking and a beautiful little store that produces quality truffles, fudges and chocolates that are distributed all over Australia.

What a treasure. The atmosphere is great and the service is bright and cheerful. Coffee couldn't be better. It was quite busy when we called in for our afternoon tea which was pancakes and a berry coulis just delicious, served with a friendly smile and chat. Plenty of parking in very pleasant surrounds. Would recommend this for a break when travelling.

This review is for Cadbury Visitor Centre, Claremont TAS

This is a must for the traveller, especially if you are a chocaholic. On arrival there is ample parking and when entering the visitor centre you are asked to donate a gold coin which would be passed on to a charity of their choice, evidently this varies from time to time, for this donation there is a basket where you can take a sample. We then proceeded to the visitors presentation area where a lovely lady gave us a good run down on how chocolate is made from picking the cocoa bean pod through to producing chocolate as we know it. Then we went through to the shop where we could purchase to our delight - what a wonderful experience and soooo cheap. There is a delightful lady in the café who prepares the most exquisite hot chocolate all the while smiling and chatting away. All in all a great experience for a tourist. Just as well I am not a local I would be there continually.

This review is for The Wicked Cheese Co, Richmond TAS

This would have to be one of the best cheese outlets I have visited. It was incredibly busy - not just cheeses all sorts of extras were packaged, displayed, and priced. The service was wonderful, and the tastings were great. You could choose to have a sample on a small piece of cracker or on its own and the size of the "taste" was enough to allow you to savour the product. The is a lovely little café area for coffee plus sweet or savoury choices and a magazine or two to peruse while waiting, which was not long. We came away feeling very happy with our purchases and a very yummy afternoon tea.

Approximate cost: $30 incl cheeses

Disappointing. We expected a better experience. The cheeses were varied, however the tasting was very mean. There was not enough of any of the cheeses to really get a good idea of the flavour. Based on our lack of taste experience we opted for a coffee and biscuit which was very pleasant although not exceptional. Also we found the cheese products to be quite pricey.

What a great little place to have a casual lunch. The oysters are exceptional. Service is very friendly, although we found a little slow, however I guess you have to allow a little extra time when you are service freshly prepared food. I would definitely return and recommend for a casual lunch the outdoor seating is clean and pleasant but a little cool on a windy day

This review is for It's All About The Shoes, Sorell TAS

Wandered in to have a look on the way to grocery shopping. What a delight, there are shoes on display everywhere as well as handbags and lots of scarves, headbands, etc.etc. I found just the bag for me and completely wrecked the lovely display in the process. I did apologise to the lady and was so pleasantly surprised by her "don't worry I'll fix it later". It was not a problem at all. Very reasonable prices and great selection and quality

On the way home after a busy day we decided to stop here for an oyster experience and could not believe how reasonable and fresh the oysters were. We purchased a dozen in the shell (opened) and also a tub of oysters (shelled) with a little tub of worcesteshire sauce to make our Kilpatrick. Whilst the tub oysters were not quite as large as the half shell oyster they were every bit as fresh and tasty. The grounds were very impressive with the restaurant overlooking the gardens. We are hoping to visit for a meal before heading home in a couple of weeks.

Approximate cost: $22
