    One if the best meals I've ever had! The smashed avo with lamb was absolutely delicious, i wanted to lick the plate. And the mojito with finger lime and rivermint was great. We'll definitely be back for more. Lovely setting in a beautiful nursery.

    The cafe is set in a beautiful nursery environment. There are plenty of unusual gifts in their gift shop. Unfortunately (maybe I chose poorly) the food I chose was way too heavy on the carbs, and had almost no vegetable content. Our waitress was great. The chicken sandwich was disappointing and I could not recommend it as a menu choice. The smashed avocado has morphed into a huge meal, which is disappointing because it was a favourite which I avoided today. Simple, fresh food with vegetables (but not over the top - my daughter’s meal had a ton of purple coleslaw on it) is a better theme, especially looking at the age of many clients. Real meat rather than chicken in breadcrumbs would have worked a lot better. Bread was so thick it had to be set aside.

    Thanks for the feedback Deborah, we have since reduced the thickness of our bread on our Katsu sandwich, so thankyou for your insight. We look forward to seeing you again, and are pleased you enjoyed your Kuranga Native Nursery visit. Cheers The Team at Paperbark Cafe

    My order of Chicken Sandwich? With Chips was very difficult to manage and eat. Two very very thick wedges of bread and crumbed chicken - how to tackle? Too much bread and chips I thought. I couldn’t eat it all.
