Cafe Campestre has appeared in both ‘Food and Wine’ magazine and ‘Travel Weekly’ among other publications. Our particular passions are authentic curries from India and Asia and for organic salads. International cuisine as well as local dishes can be found on the menu and all include generous helpings of organic herbs, spices, local vegetables and salads grown on our farm, and locally raised livestock
We grow most ingredients ourselves, or source locally: in season and where possible organically. Check out our current menu here, or our takeout menu. And we now serve breakfast too! See the menu here.
But we havent stopped there! We have also built our own wood-fired clay oven bakery and make all our own fresh breads and pizzas. We also make our own pastas fresh on site and toast our locally-sourced organic coffee traditionally in a clay “comal”, over an open wood fire right here on the premises.
We are so pleased with our kitchen workshop that we have it open to the public for all to see. Please stop by and take a look or sit at the bar and watch as our team prepare the days breads, pastas and other produce for our menu.

There is highspeed fibre internet WiFi access and a comfortable lounge area where you can work and enjoy a coffee or lunch.
