OMG! How great a lunch can be? Friends have recommended this restaurant to us and we decided to stop for lunch yesterday. The four of us were amazed by the atmosphere, the quality of the meals and the superb taste of every single meal and the fantastic owners/staff that were serving us. We came without booking believing it was a small café in a small town... the place was booked out. The staff were so king and found a table to sit us. Service was perfect. We had the king potatoes for entrée and they are simply wonderful. Than our meals came and they were so flavorsome, so great! We had the beef cheeks, the dumplings, the pork belly and the gnocchi. All excellent. This is a place that I will not only recommend to anyone and I would also drive more often to just for a nice lunch or diner. 10 out of 10 Since I first wrote this review, we have returned twice to the King River Café. The food is fantastic and we are trying several dishes. Excellent food! The café owners are so lovely. The first time we've been to the King River Café, I saw an Italian layer cake and did not try it, the second time they did not have any left and the third time they were so wonderful to make one specially for the day I booked and the presentation and everything else was so beautiful.... a real family environment with skilled chefs that are also very sweet and lovely people. Prefect combination. A place I highly recommend to everyone.

A. P.

Wow what a great cafe! Highly recommend to stop by and taste as much as you can from the menu. Great portion sizes, everything tasted fresh and cooked to order and the staff were friendly! Beef cheek and potato rosties were superb. The cheeks were so gelatinous and packed full of flavour, and the rostis were so crunchy. Highlight of our trip to the king valley, for sure!!

M. B.

Awesome customer service and great prices! The food is awesome amazing, l think they need to rename the business to King River Restaurant. Very understated and quality is exceptional. You must try the a King River potatoes 😍

J. M.

Had lunch here yesterday and I must say it’s was awesome. Everything was perfect👌 We will be back 100% Thanks guys for a great lunch!💋👌 Btw thanks for the takeaway potato rosti had them for breakfast this morning with poached eggs and chilli 💋👌

N. R.

How a cuisine and desserts can be this delish! We chose this place because of the ranking, I have to confess that all positive reviews are true! The service was amazing, staff were super friendly and welcoming. I Strongly recommend this place! Don’t forget to order Potato toasti, Beef stake and fabulous lemon pie!

J. S.

Great local food and fantastic hosts. Always a pleasure to dine here and enjoy the varied menu that Ben and Judy put on. Well worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood, and definitely worth a drive if you aren’t. Great wine list of King Valley varietals and the Lemon Tart for dessert is so popular that they sell them to take home. And you should.

B.

We travelled all the way from Canberra and didn't really know much about the area but the King River Cafe did not disasapoint! Amazing local produce, perfectly cooked delicious homely dishes. Best duck spring rolls we have ever had, and really friendly service.

N. W.

Our meals were pork, fillet steak & chicken. Each was excellent. Service to match. Easily the best 'Cafe' we have eaten at; far better than many restaurants.

D. P.

Another great evening, warm hosts, a great selection of local wines and superb food. Leave room for the lemon tart!

a. g.

Just stopped for takeaway coffee, very good. Also grabbed some home made jam to take home. Yum

J. M.

Pulled into this fabulous cafe, and wish we lived closer. Two ladies were leaving and raved about the food. We too were VERY impressed Great to have 5 star food at 3 star prices.

J. M.

A wonderful cafe that is so worth stopping at. We managed two visits this time though both were only for coffee, tea and hot chocolates. We so wished we could try out that wonderful menu as you can tell by the way the owners/staff take so much pride in their food it’s going to be delicious. Our lemon tart was truely the best we have had, right down to that little extra crunch of a fine layer of toffee on the top - just yum. The chocolate cake was great and both were GF. Good hot chocolate, coffee and fresh tea just topped it off for us.

B. P.

We had a very delicious lunch with excellent service. It can be a little noisy but has a good atmosphere.

U. N.

Great food, delicious homemade pasta that is perfectly seasoned. Outdoor seating area is pleasant. Lovely experience. Highly recommended!

L. B.

Highly recommend the meals, greats coffee and drinks too, Apple cider, would suggest you book on a weekend as very busy, very friendly staff. Going back again soon.

J. J.

This place is s treasure! Food taste so good that you feel like licking the plates clean! Very friendly staff and quiet atmosphere, very fairly priced, and did I mention how delicious the food is?? Two visits in, and many more to come! Very friendly owners and staff. A place I can personally vouch for!

P. R.

Lovely place, highly recommend & great food and service.

R. L.

Delicious food in a foodie area. Tesla charger needs to be better maintained though.

E. M.

Staff are super friendly and the food is phenomenal! My partner and I shared the King River potato, I had the sticky pork belly and prawns, my partner had one of the specials containing calamari - everything was so flavoursome. We were just looking for somewhere to stop on the way home (driving from Mt Beauty to Melbourne) and have a quick dinner and now I'm sad that this place isn't closer to where I live 😂

M. J.

Tasty food, very nice staff. Definitely recommend

D. M.

We just had dinner at this quaint, in the middle of nowhere cafe. Wow. What a surprise. Everything that we tried on the menu was of very high quality. The prices were great. A share plate of olives, 2 main meals, 2 desserts, 3 wines and a coffee $83. I highly recommend this place and we will be back for sure. Thanks

C. T.

Beautiful place, friendly staff and amazing food. Will definitely be back.

M. O.

The meal was excellent. Thirty dollars for a two course meal plus tea and coffee. Excellent staff service. Very quick and efficient.

A. A.

Nice cheerful place, helpful staff, and in a beautiful area but the food is far from a highlight the day I went for lunch. I will go again, I support the efforts of anyone making a go of things in regional Vic, but I will enjoy the experience more with lower my expectations adjusted.

C. D.

Good food handy to Benalla & Wangaratta.

A.

One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The barramundi was the best I have ever had and that includes eating barramundi in Darwin previously. The lemon tart was absolutely beautiful for dessert and the staff welcoming with personality.

M. G.

Excellent facilities , good service , superb food.

P. C.

Great food, friendly staff.

N.

Lunches today of spaghetti marinara and chicken breast followed by the pavlova were delicious. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. Will definitely be back next time we're in the North-East!

G. S.

Sensational meal and wonderful service. Absolutely loved everything about King River Cafe.

S. R.

Great food and drinks with friendly attentive staff

m. c.

Very Good Food and Service. We go there often !!!! Great Place !!!!

S. F.

Had a share plate, olive plate,duck spring rolls beautiful

T. R.

Best meal available between the mountains and Melbourne! The chefs are seriously talented. From Italian, to 'country cooking' to Oriental flavours, they nail it every time. They do just enough to the ingredients to make them taste special, but let them speak for themselves. Their home made pasta is perfect al dente; their roast chicken is so moist and flavoursome and just indulgent enough. Last time I visited I had a simple salad of candied plums, roast tomato, dukkha and leaves, and I couldn't believe those things together could be so good. The prices are great. They have affordable local wines and decent coffee. I had a local recommend it to me over 5 years ago and I haven't driven through without stopping by since.

T. M.

Beautiful food, atmosphere & staff.

G. C.

Great to be back KRC, lovely dinner and atmosphere. Cheers to Ben, Judy and Will.

G. R.

Great quality and tasty food. Friendly service and atmosphere.

W. M.

Amazing place a must to visit. Great selection of foods that are made with love. They have maintained the homely feel of the area. Warm inviting and super friendly.

C. S.

The staff were so accommodating of our last minute visit after a very busy long weekend. The coffee was great and the baguette they whipped up was delicious.

j. r.

The staff are attentive and extremely friendly. We were a group of six and and all the food was delicious. Just one thing, in my.opinion the pork was over salted and I did not understand why the dish, which was Asian, had scallops on the plate.

C. E.

The food was stunning and the service was perfect...not too intrusive but efficient and competent. I was dining with a large group and all meals were served in a timely manner to the right diner. The building is in great condition and very interesting.

U. S.

We had our wedding reception there tonight, the staff were incredible, the food was to die for and one of the ladies even helped with the cake! Thank to everyone who was working tonight, you help make our night memorable 😊😘

E. T.

Celebrating the grandfathers 91st birthday. Incredible food and service, 5 star meals and extensive menu!! Highly recommend with a smile upon arrival!! Get here 👌👌👌👌

M. H.

Great atmosphere food was divine and service excellent

J. B.

Had lunch here, good service, light lunches were reasonably priced. Had the pizzas, some out there styles but worked well. Drinks were exceptionally served, but would be nice to see some more non-alcoholic options, such as fresh juices.

C. R.

We dined there on a Thursday night and the place was packed. Food was excellent - we had a table of 10 and everyone enjoyed their meal. However the table service was very haphazard with some dishes forgotten and the young staff team seemed under a lot of pressure. Our first time there so hopefully it was just an off night. Overall though it was a good night and we'll be back for sure.

M. A.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and had the duck spring rolls and the sharing plate. Really nice food, friendly service and nothing was a problem. Recommend!

K. K. O.

Our group of 15 peoples each tried out almost every dishes and highly recommended nice ambience atmosphere and most important good service and excellent foods!

R. C.

Impeccable service and amazing, delicious locally-grown food every time. In my experience, one of the best cafes / restaurants in country Victoria. I live in Geelong but always try to stop here when visiting the North East.

J. H.

Very nice staff. Meal was good for a cafe with a very busy chef in the kitchen by himself. He must have been exhausted by the end of the day.

L. A.

Nice drive from Wangaratta was quiet when we arrived and quickly started to fill up. Menu really good. We stared a plate and it was delicious and the iced coffee perfect. Great place friendly staff. Don't miss this place.

A. C.

Food not worth the price. Sorry not a fan of hard bread granules that feel like eating sand in my food or Burnt onion and undercooked mushrooms. Tomatoes paste isn't a pizza base sauce and there is no need to put it on half an inch thick. Makes a decent lemon lime bitters though.

J. J.

Hadnt been to the King River cafe for a number of years. Ben and Judy still have a great sense of the whole food and wine experience. Always a satisfying and interesting meal and the best lemon tart in the region. Worth the trip just for the desert alone.

M. S.

Amazing fresh delicious food. Definitely a must if visiting Milawa. Will be back. Thank you for a lovely night Friday 8 January.

R. P.

Stop here every time We visit Wangaratta, we always set aside time to drive out for the best delicious meals! Such a treat! Great main meals, awesome coffee and deserts prices start from $18-$32 depending on what you order

C. U.

Stopped here twice recently, and had good food and coffee. We didn't have mains, but the menu is amazing, and the food we saw being taken to other customers looked delicious, and beautifully presented. The service is friendly and fast too.

A. C.

The menu is always tempting the flavours and variety are a credit to the chef. Local wines are featured and the price point for both the food and wine is always very reasonable. Our favourite place to visit. Well worth sampling!

N. V.

Good food, great staff. Very helpful with my strict dietary requirements. Went with a reasonable size group and there was another large group there the same night - only thing I would say is the coffee was lukewarm. Everything else was great.

K. W.

If your in the Milawa region do yourself a favour and drop into the King River Cafe, We have been coming here since before the Internet. Yes a long time which speaks highly of ours and the restaurants durability!!! The service and food has never been less than 5 stars and being city folk it’s great to see that country food and service can match it with the best of Melbourne.

J. W.

Was here for a birthday celebration. Great food. Must try the potato rosties yummo. Friendly service staff are very welcoming.

M. H.

Amazing restaurant hidden in central Victoria! The king river potato rosti are a must try, fluffy roasted/deep fried fingers of potato! Steak is delicious and so is the chicken, so is it the duck. It's all good, real props to the chef/crew that work there, consistently good every time! Locally sourced quality ingredients, as fresh as it gets!

J. C.

Worth driving to this little gem. Always amazing food and Will and Judy are wonderful hosts. We never drive past without at least picking up some lemon tart.

M. J.

Excellent food! Masterchef quality! Go for the lemon tart for dessert...pure heaven! Ps embarrassingly it was a busy night and I parked on the grass after the heavy rains And got bogged. Never fear staff at King valley came out and got us out as well. Good time had by all.

C. B.

This is a rural gem - you wouldn't expect it but the food is incredible and the staff are so warm and welcoming. I would drive from Melbourne just to eat here for a night.

N. L.
