River Gums Cafe - Kingsford

That is beautiful, and that is where the good ends. they worked two women, the younger was left to do everything to serve both and to make all the food and drink while the older woman was standing around and only once she was asked. we waited for almost 20 minutes before we were finally served just to have someone (which is coming after us) served first. the food finally came another 25 minutes later. we ordered a pancake with ice and bananas, it is literally a small pancake that tasted like a packaged golden circular pancake and a thunfish mayo salat sandwich, no mayo in itself and extremely dry, would have got better from a selling machine. her special orange and mango juice was nothing special.

The restaurant is located in a picturesque plantation by the river. The menu is simple yet diverse, featuring delicious burgers and refreshing smoothies.

This small restaurant is a hidden gem that deserves support and praise. It's a shame that other tourist spots don't follow the example set by this cafe. The setting on a farm surrounded by tropical gardens is refreshing. The service is friendly and efficient, and the lunch we had was the best value for money in our nine weeks of travel through five states. The chicken and beef burgers were excellent, with just the right amount of meat, fresh salad, and relish on a lightly toasted bun. The smoothies, especially the mango and mango/banana, were perfect. Well done!

Came again this year; how we enjoy coming to this venue. I heard a rumour that it may close at the end of the year. Please don,t. It is a highlight of out visit to Carnarvon every year.

With the flowers blooming and the lovely service it made for a peaceful stop. The burger was delicious also.
