I chose the lamb shanks with mash & veggies. I didn't know what to expect from this unassuming cafe. It was delicious! My meal was served piping hot & with a generous serving. The veggies were vibrant and full of flavour. The corn was sweet & juicy, the yummy mash was creamy, the lamb just fell off the bone, broccoli & cauliflower just perfect & the gravy complimented the dish nicely. As you can see by my photo I cleaned my plate up pretty well.By the way, the cafe has clean decorated toilets that smell really nice, soft toilet paper & wonderful hand soap. I recommend Jules by the Lake to everyone. You have to eat here people!!! I'll be back for sure if I'm in the area.

We had a family dinner gathering of 10 including teenage kids and everyone was happy with the experience.The food is pretty standard style with a range of favorites prepared well and in large portions (a local norm) at moderate prices. The pasta carbonara was well balanced and the Thai green curry was fresh and spicy. There were a few impressive iced chocolate which caused some excitement too.It is BYO only and I expect that BYO beer would be ok. There is a bottle shop on the corner nearby.The owners are often in attendance (as with local restaurants) and are more than willing to discuss special needs and address any problems. The kids could not finish so we were offered takeaway containers for the left overs (which were eaten for breakfast the following day).The lake views are somewhat "filtered", but you certainly can see the water and there is always street parking available.Overall, a very comfortable and safe option for a decent meal out with family or friends.

Great food, close to the lake, the chicken schnitzel are awesome. They even do take away. Will be returning read more Great food, close to the lake, the chicken schnitzel are awesome. They even do take away. Will be returning

So when the thought of having 25 people for Xmas lunch was too daunting for myself, I contacted them in desperation! Like knights in armour, they were able to offer off-site catering, delivered and served with a smile! Seriously, the best decision ever made and so reasonably priced!! Took all the pressure off me and allowed me to have some quality time with interstate relatives that we never see. Everyone was super impressed with the food and portion sizes (even the matriarchal Aunties with catering experience gave me the quiet nod about how good it was! The staff could not be more accommodating of our each and every request. But, I think what stands out most is the professionalism of the serving staff! They did everything to make things run smoothly, took the time to remember guests names, all while quietly toiling and preparing around Xmas festivities. (You have some great young guns there Jules! . The only regret that I have in writing such a 'gushing ' review, is that Jules on the Lake will become so popular that they won 't be available for our next off-site catering function! Look no further that Jules on the Lake catering, they are the bomb!!!
