The Strand Cafe - Glenelg

Friendly and efficient staff, beautiful coffee. Eggs Benedict was devine with eggs cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back, thank you for restoring our faith in Glenelg cafes!

The Strand is reliable for good food and atmosphere. Although the pizza has always been good, I went in for pizza Monday night after not being down there for a while expecting the reliable B+. I was pleasantly surprised. Whilst the topping was great, and as I expected, the dough was amazing. Next level in fact. It previously tended to be a bit hard and oddly sweet, this was perfectly balanced. Went from an B+ to an A+ Whatever you've done to get to where it is now, keep it up! Love your work

Have eaten here a few times now and have to say i haven't been disappointed. The food tends to be always at quite a high level. Tonight may have been the nicest meal yet though. Partner and I ate here tonight and both ordered steaks. One chefs special black angus and one prime beef in bacon. Both were asked to be medium rare and were pretty close to that but in parts tended to be more rare (which we both prefer so was fine). Service was very good also which seems to be the norm rather than the exception. The only thing is virtually everything is overpriced which has been mentioned in many other reviews. Probably due to the Jetty road rent prices. Garlic bread, bottle of wine, and 2 steaks cost us $85 but that was with 25% off on the Entertainment book card. So good food, but overpriced, but good food. Make your own decion..

If there was an award for meal of the year the stunning kangaroo dish would steal it in a heartbeat. The lamb shanks literally fell off the bone, the croquettes were also incredible. For a cafe I was not expecting the high quality that was served to me. Just simply divine, there is not much more that can be said. I was nearly lost for words as I consumed it. Every single bite was an absolute pleasure. Cooked to perfection the kangaroo fillet steak was sliced and then placed on a bed of sweet potato mash topped in a sweet Shiraz sauce iced with pickled cabbage garnished with rocket and you could nearly taste the love that this dish was made with. The service was award winning and I can not wait to go back. There's a reason why the cafe bustled with clientele and why the line was out the door. Thank you for providing an exceptional all round experience.

I have a soft spot for trying establishment that have authentic Italian dishes on the menu and this place ticked those boxes for me.
