The Back Porch Cafe

We have been here twice now. Really good food and hot drinks.

Really nice indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of choices for appetizing food. Coffee was excellent! Recommended.

We received a warm welcome and were directed to a large table overlooking the outdoor patio and fire place.

We kicked off with the happy hour trio of martinis for $45 - staring with a dry one and ending up with a sweet one. An interesting experience for both of us as we don’t drink martinis.

Our waitress, who was from Argentina, was charming and helpful.

We worked our way through the trio of duck (smoked, parfait and terrine) [fantastic especially the parfait], the cheese soufflé [tasty but slightly rubbery - suspect it was twice baked], duck a l’orange and pork belly with prunes [very tasty but could have done with more sauce].

We also tried the French fried with Parmesan and truffle oil - they were crisp and would go well with the steak dishes on offer.

We finished with a tart rhubarb tartane - delicious but not sure the strawberry ice-cream was a good match.

The wine list covered all the bases and was reasonably priced.

Nice setting.

It suffices to say we will be back.

I love this place! Food, coffee and service is exceptional. The courtyard is lovely and is a great place to take the kids.

A quaint little cafe with great food. The hot chocolates were one of the best I’ve had.
