La Popote Cafe

Great little gem in the midlands. Andrew is a very talented chef and he has tailored his menu well. bold where it needs to be yet subtly special and stunning for old favourites. this is a great spot for outside dining with lovely views, but equally great for cold misty days next to a roaring fire.

One dines in an ancient barn, on a beautiful farm, with forever views over Hilton valley. Excellent attentive service and with sumptuous food to match the beautiful location. A small hiking trail for those who wish to walk off their ample meal. Definitely will be back again soon!

This is a worthwhile find. The interior is rustic but restful. The service and attention was great. The pavlova....... to die for. The carrot cake..... the best that I've had. I would recommend this anytime.

We love the new La Popote at The Knoll it's just along the road from Sue Tarr's but it feels like an adventure down a dirt road to a beautifully rustic barn. While I was enjoying a perfect cappuccino, snuggled into the sofa reading my book, the horses came galloping through the garden I heard them before I saw them. Magnificent. Lunch with my friends was heaven. I was starving so I tucked into little meatballs with freshly made pasta in a tomato relish. (I polished off the entire generous bowl. It's winter. And I wasn't wasting a mouthful. My friends chose Tuscan chicken and opted for milk tart Pavlovas for dessert. Lesley's food is made from locally sourced ingredients, it's slow soul food and the flavors are always deliciously nuanced. Love La Popote .

Service is excellent, the decor eclectic and the food is out of thus world, could not just have one thing. Landed up getting a variety and sharing... AWESOME.
