What Mark C likes about Bunyip Cafe:
We ate here on Thursday evening and had a great meal. The owner/chef was very helpful regarding the menu and the food was delicious. Especially loved the pierogi’s and the white Polish sausage dish. We wished we had had room for one of the soups as they all looked fabulous next time. Going back! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Bunyip Cafe:
Some places can do retro real well and some places just look tired and dated. Bunyip Cafe looks tired. Backpacker staff, a large menu lacking quality resulted in an uninspiring breakfast. Great location and plenty of competition nearby should motivate a better quality cafe. My brekkie melt was home cooking quality (not good home cooking either) and the wife's pancakes were underdone. Who under cooks pancakes? Fail. View all feedback.
