The Lounge - Ararat

As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted warmly and immediately put at ease.

Coffee was just OK and food selection was disappointing. The food menu was very limited but sandwiches were freshly made from similarly fresh ingredients.

I really enjoy this restaurant, it has a stylish and urban vibe even though it's located in the countryside. The food is of great quality and fresh, unlike other places on the main street. They offer Amanti coffee, which I adore, and their carrot cake is absolutely delicious. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, with the option of sofas or tables for seating. The back patio area is fantastic, with a water fountain and lovely lighting (I didn't know it was there until I asked). They also have a selection of beers, wines, and spirits available. A definite must-visit if you're passing through.

Please note that this cafe/coffee lounge has permanently closed. Yos Restaurant is now located at this site. Despite being closed for a while, it seems that no one has updated this information on Tripadvisor.
