Buon Cibo Ristorante

We stayed at Pokolbin Village for our Summer holiday with other family members. Amongst the specialty shops available at Pokolbin Village and within walking distance from our villa, there is ‘Buon Cibo Ristorante’ that is opened from 8am, 7 days for breakfast and lunch and 6pm for dinner Friday to Monday. 

We did want to go there for dinner on a Tuesday night, only to discover it’s not opened – have no clue as to why? However, we did have the dining experience for breakfast the following day. The place has a casual, relaxed feel to it and family-friendly. We were greeted immediately by a waitress and shown to our table. What wins me over mostly is the size of the table – I do love a good-sized table. 

I selected ‘Buttermilk Pancakes’ – three decent sized pancakes served with maple syrup, banana and fresh berries and a long black coffee to go with it. My two daughters had the same one with apple juice and the other with pineapple juice. We didn’t have to wait long for our food and the serving was the right amount, delicious and the perfect way to start your day. My wife had ‘Classic Breakfast’ with two poached eggs (a choice of poached, scrambled or fried) with bacon and toasted sour dough. 

What amazed me was that they are flexible. We had a toddler but there was nothing on the menu that would suit her to eat. We asked the waitress if they can make raisin toast and a baby-cino? Without any hesitation, the waitress said that it’s not a problem and that they could make it – it sure put a smile on the little one’s face, she looked like a queen, seated in a high-chair that the waitress had provided. The prices are at an affordable price and even offer take-aways.
