L'auberge - Kurunjang

Underrated little cafe on the back streets of Lilydale! Being an old church this place has that charm that newer places just don't have. Staff were very welcoming and efficient. The coffee was strong and hot just how I like it. The charcuterie board was surprisingly good and excellent value for money!!! Well worth the visit. Defs need to return on a winters day when that massive fireplace is roaring.

What a lovely little cafe. We dined here today for lunch. The menu is small but the food was well executed.<br/ <br/ Hubby had the carrot and coriander soup and a ham and cheese toastie with a fried egg. By all accounts it was tasty and fresh but a bit too much food for one person for lunch. Master nine had the kids ham and cheese toastie which he devoured and for just $5 a bargain. I had the duck terrine which was really lovely and a very different choice for me for lunch.<br/ <br/ The decor has a quirky feel with French touches. Set in a church...and lets just put it out there that I adore churches (We even owned one a few years ago) and this is a lovely example of repurposing a church into a great little cafe in Lilydale.<br/ <br/ Give it a go. You won't be disappointed. We will be back.<br/

Nice little hidden gem with great atmosphere. Big fireplace that kept the place cosy and warm. Small menu but that was okay with me. Food was yum and the service was friendly and attentive. I'd go back.

We were delighted to discover this lovely place a few months again and have been back lots of times.<br/ Lovely staff and a beautiful building.<br/ The coffee is good and tastes even better if you get to sit by the open fire.<br/ The French Onion soup is delicious.<br/ I prefer the almond croissants to the cakes.<br/ <br/

If you are taking a trip to the Yarra Valley area this is a wonderful hidden gem for coffee or genuine rustic French cuisine...Situated in an old Methodist church ..from French onion soup, fromage charcuterie boards.. to Duck confit.. finished of with coffee and French pastries while sitting on the couch in front of the large open fire. Lovely food.. Great Staff .. Excellent ambiance...What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon... Recommend Highly
