White Cedars Cafe - BURRA

Vegetarian options available. friendly staff. 3 different sweet dishes ordered, the same sweet was in all, the only difference was that one had fried egg, and various aromen of sauces, so they were nothing special. overpriced for what they get.

The service was nice and the food was delicious had a chat with the chef who comes from North-Balais - very happy to share his story

The overall appearance of restaurant frontage and interior fittings, furniture and trinkets was very attractive and only having 20 or so seats inside was very cosy on a winters night. Service was good but the waiter kept disappearing for periods, I assume to help in kitchen as the 3 tables being used all seemed to have their food arrive one after the other in a space of 3-4 minutes.The menu is very limited to 7 or 8 dishes as mains that all seemed to swim in coconut based soup. The Bali chicken I had, as did 2 others all had a sweetcorn and pea frozen packet mix as the vegetable and the other diner had a chicken curry, the difference was carrot straws and cauli florets had been added. The dishes were quick simplistic curries, no where near tasting authentic Indonesian dishes I have experienced elsewhere and in Bali. We were informed there were no spring rolls or Prawns available on the night. Not really good enough for a small establishment on their first night of the week ( Wed.) opening.

If you want to try something different from the local pubs (there are 4 in Burra and North Burra) and the local takeaway bakery or pizza shop, then this is it. They do a great coffee so if you are looking for a great coffee the cafe opens at 8am for coffee. It is also open for lunch and dinners. Considering Burra was freezing, the little cafe was cozy and warm. The food was wonderfully colourful and such fresh ingredients were used. We loved the corn fritters and the spring rolls and tamarind soup as entrees, and then shared the vegetarian curry and barramundi in a spicy sauce. We finished off with banana fritters and a banana pancake. Lovely food and the portions are generous.

My wife and I had one of our most memorable anniversaries at the white cedar. Francis and Putu created a wonderful atmosphere in their cosy resturant, the friendly service a standout for our stay in Berri. The food was very authentic and tastie. We were in Burra with our two boys and wanted a resturant to celibate our wedding anniversary; the White cedar was the perfect place.
