Cafe Nouveau - Muswellbrook

One of the best meals I have ever had in Australia. We had no expectations as we stumbled upon this restaurant at the north end of the Hunter Valley.

Called in with a few friends for lunch, menu had variety and diversity. The kids milkshakes looked inviting and my kids said they were yummy. I had a really good coffee and huge burger. Happy days!

This restaurant in Pokolbin is not ranked at the top for no reason. It offers superb modern Italian cuisine with excellent service and a small yet carefully selected menu.

A group of us went for breakfast yesterday morning, the services was very friendly and relaxed, the food was excellent and the coffee was first rate, it's from a local roaster who has been roasting his own coffee for years.

After reading reviews and thinking it looked promising, I had trouble locating the restaurant. However, when I finally arrived at 9:30 on a Sunday, despite the posted hours of 8-3, the restaurant was closed and there was no sign of life. I recommend to other hungry travelers to call ahead before visiting. It was a disappointing experience.
