Portside Cafe - Maryborough

Oh boy, where do I start. Located in a charming quite yard of a heritage protected building. The only thing that might disturb you is that on weekends there are steam engines running right below the restaurant, so expect whistles and coal smell. If you ask me it just adds a nice recreational vibe to the atmosphere. Great idea to entertain yourself with a train ride or just walk along the river after a mind blowing meal. Perfect presentation from junior staff when we asked about recommendations, they provided some excellent, mouth watering ones. We had quesadillas (great serving, fresh greens, perfect amount of spices) , chicken waffles (waffles. chicken.bacon.maple syrup. ice cream. No judging) and chicken with chips from kids menu (came with hot chocolate and an ice cream). Everything done in the house from scratch and you can feel it. Portions are more than generous. No high kitchen but with what they have they definitely know what they are doing. A bit on a pricier side, but considering location, quality, portion size and friendliness quite worth it. Trying to come up with a witty comment about Carl (owner of the place). Like dodgy or talkative , but can 't (pun intended). Good portion of our gratitude for a great mood goes to that fella. Thank you! In my personal Michelin star meter it 's worth a second prize aka if you are traveling in the area, it 's worth a de tour to visit this place, even if it 's going to cost you couple of hours

Absolutely Devine, I’m a vegan and going out can be a challenge sometimes. This place is absolutely amazing and they certainly take the time to think about their choice of menu. Every bite was delicious and I don’t think I’ve said wow so much in my life before. Thank you for the beautiful presentation of the meal and amazing service! I highly recommend! Much gratitude

Amazing chicken and halloumi tacos on the left and perfect fish tacos crunchy outer, moist tender fish inside, nice soft tortilla too. The service was second to none . Thanks for a lovely lunch

Located in a beautiful small town Maryborough, this cafe has a relaxing vibe and great view. The food size is quite large. Would recommend to pay a visit if you visit Maryborough.
