The Village Cafe Wine - Flinders

Gorgeous portion and great taste. The waitresses seem to be really busy, it is understandable if they are not that attentive .I have never see this much salmon in a salmon bagel before. The winter salad had so much quinoa. It was really filling...but I will love it more if it is with a lot more rockets

We had built up a bit of an appetite from walking out the the Flinders Jetty and around the coast so Village Cafe Wine Bar was a welcome retreat. My wife was searching for a place called Julie's in Flinders which she had visited years ago. Turns out a fire and subsequent name change has reincarnated Julie's as Village Cafe Wine Bar. It was toasty inside when we arrived and there winenwere quite a few patrons despite looking quiet from the street. We sat ourselves down by the warming open fire and ordered lunch. I ordered the salmon open sandwich with cream cheese, capers and lettuce (sans onions) while my other half ordered the bruschetta. I was impressed by the generosity of salmon when mine arrived and the taste combination brought me back to the many salmon bagels of this irk which I consumed in Canadas west coast a few year ago. The Bruschetta was only had a small amount of fresh basil but I'm told the flavour of basil and garlic was there so perhaps this was infused in the oil itself. Although not in use it appears that there was a beer garden out back and the many empty tables outside the front did make me wonder whether anyone else was going to be in when we arrived. Judging by the number of outside seats Village Cafe must have a swelling crowd during the warmer months. We received a quick turn around of our not overly complicated meals.

What a hidden gem!! Found this place accidentally on trip advisor and their reviews made me curious to try this place for dinner.. we had the steak Diane and pasta which were both very good... the wine list was diverse in regions and price.. the owner had intimate knowledge of his wine list (especially the local wineries and was generous with providing samples of his wine list.. highly recommended for anyone visiting Flinders :

What a great place this is!!! Great food great wine the Paringa 2015 pinot noir) simply stunning wine...and the staff!!! You guys rock!!! Keep the good work up!!! We promise to be back real soon!!! Tony John Sam Pat Robyn and Nancy...xxx

Wonderful part and great taste. the waiters seem really busy, it is understandable if they are not so attentive. I've never seen so much laughter in a little bag. the winter salad had so much quinoa. it was really filling. but I will love it more if it is with much more
