Freckled Hen Cafe - Boroondara

Met with 2 others here on their recommendation. A bit sceptical because it isn't in a traditional shopping precinct. But what a delight it was. Small - only 6 or so tables - but the food was outstanding, the service was meticulous and the presentation was something to behold. Crockery like my mother used to have and teapot/teacup ensembles which were all original.The is a quirky little gem of a place....worth the visit for sure. Make sure you reserve a table because there aren't many, and you don't want to miss the experience.

I had a simple meal at this restaurant, ordering the pulled pork with apple and poached egg. It was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is cozy and the service is fantastic. I hope it continues to thrive!

Have been to this cafe twice and both times the food was fresh and really tasty. Reasonably priced and great service.

Sadly, the Freckled Hen has undergone a transformation. What used to be a delightful place for afternoon tea has morphed into something more generic. It no longer has a point of difference in this cafe laden strip, and unfortunately it's not a standout, so I won't be returning.

I love visiting The Freckled Hen, usually with my dog, after my daily walk around Surrey Hills. I am always made to feel special here and their food is fresh , plentiful and absolutely delicious ! The coffee is strong and rich, and if you order a large one its served in the prettiest crockery with big floral napkins accompanying the food. The owner Leslie is doing a fantastic job of keeping the high standard of cleanliness and service to a five star level at all times. I have even had a birthday party here and it was a huge hit with my girlfriends ! Do yourself a favor and check it out next time you are in Surrey Hills. ( The High Tea is worth booking for your next event)
