It can get a little noisy, but that just shows how popular this wonderful restaurant is. The food is excellent, and the staff is incredibly friendly and enjoys having conversations. It's truly a fantastic spot that you shouldn't miss! Make your way up the hill to Miandetta for an impressive menu bursting with delicious dishes. View all feedback.
What Wendy K dislikes about Brown Bear Eatery:
Nice atmosphere and the staff were very polite and tentative and the kids platters are amazing.

I've been here a few times for lunch and also bought a cake for a birthday. This place always exceeds my expectations. Give it a try!
Went down for breakfast yesterday and today and both time's well worth the money. So if you are ever in Devonport look it up stop have breakfast lunch or just get a coffee. Sit back and enjoy.
Recently had our staff Xmas party here and the food was impeccable! The presentation and flavours were just perfect. Highly recommend using Vanessa at the Brown Bear for an event.
The Brown Bear IS the place to go if you love delicious food, divine Chai latte and Carmel slice to die for then get yourself and some friends down here and experience all they have to offer. The staff are gorgeous and the vibe is perfect for a get together. I give the Bear a
My mother, daughter, and I visited for coffee and cake today, and we were impressed by the excellent service and delicious food. We highly recommend this place, and we’re all looking forward to returning soon.

I had an outstanding experience with exceptional service and wonderfully fresh, beautifully prepared dishes! I tried the spicy satay chicken burger, and it was absolutely divine, paired with fresh salad ingredients and a creamy, nutty, spicy sauce. The coffee was excellent as well!
A beautiful little hidden gem! Coffee was beautiful, our meals were to die for and the customer service was second to none! Thank you so much Jess, Nic and little Grace
The food was delicious and truly enjoyable. Moreover, the coffee was the best I've had in quite a while. I will definitely be back!

There was no apology, nothing to fix the situation and had to pay for a meal that I didn’t hardly touch without an offer of anything else.
