Looking for that perfect dining place with
breathtaking views in the Hunter Valley? I highly recommend Epicure
Café. This café is nicely nestled and hidden amongst nature’s beauty.
There are both indoor and outdoor
covered terrace dining areas, overlooking a large dam. We
wanted something simple, yet delicious for lunch, and as a family we
selected the good ol’ fish ‘n’ chips. But our dish wasn’t your ordinary
fish and chips that you would buy at
your local fish ‘n’ chips place, this was cleverly accomplished with a
twist of sophistication to tantalise your taste buds.
But let me start
from the beginning. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly
waitress there immediately and showed us to our
table – we were impressed with the table size as well, wide enough and
comfortable for plates and arm room. We started with warm sour dough
bread that included extra virgin olive oil, home-made dukkah and
caramelised balsamic – ever so delicious, love warm
bread. A perfect start, that commonsense tells you that you wouldn’t be
disappointed with lunch.
Okay, our fish ‘n’ chips arrived, served
irresistibly on a plate – three decent sized fish fillet pieces covered
in herb and white wine batter with aioli and French
fries cooked to perfection! The batter was so light and crispy and
dipping it into the creamy aioli gave that impact I was looking for! We
also had a very tasty salad on the side – the taste was so fresh and
appearance was so colourful with your tomato and
cucumber pieces, red onion sliced finely, and your green leafy lettuce
(local produce) in a beautiful vinaigrette dressing. The chef even made
time to come out to see if we were satisfied with our dishes – I never
had that happened to me before!
The meal filled
us up, we couldn’t go for desserts. However, there is a variety of
cakes displayed inside a glassed refrigerator within the dining area
taunting you to choose if you have enough room – all homemade of course.
This café is a must to dine at if you’re looking for a
delightful, delectable, delicious lunch with amazing views. Or perhaps
breakfast or a cuppa coffee or tea with a piece of their homemade cakes?
Opened 7 days from
9am to 5pm.
I highly recommend this café for couples, families or friends – great
food, great service with amazing views and relaxing atmosphere.
