My partner and I searched across Cowes all morning for a restaurant that was friendly for both Gluten Free and Vegan food. Mon Dieu proved to be one of the only places open, but the standard they held themselves to was impressively low. They had three vegan options available. I went to order the Pumpkin Bonjour only to be told that they were out of that dish. I didn’t feel like ordering the Avo Crushed but there weren’t many other options so I went with it and asked for it vegan friendly. I ended up getting a very small serving of avocado which was impressively unseasoned and amongst the plainest I’ve ever had. I could have gone to the Coles and paid $3 to eat a raw avocado on the spot and it would have tasted about the same and not cost me $24. My partner ordered a Gluten Free eggs Benedict with bacon. They managed to mess the order up by putting Smoked Salmon on it instead and put no effort into toasting the bread, leaving a soggy pile of bacon grease to dissolve the bread beneath it. Next time I’ll go to the Subway down the street. I could get a bigger serving of avocado on toast for a fraction of the price there.

Came here for a brunch with my partner. Was blown away by how friendly all of the staff were. The food came out incredibly quickly and was delicious. They paid special attention to my gluten free diet and even told me not to order the hash browns when I tried to as they are not gluten free. Could not recommend this place enough

Great place for breakfast, friendly staff and reasonably priced for what is served. They also do gluten free, which wasn't listed on the menu. Thankyou!

I recently visited Cafe Lugano in Cowes on Phillip Island, and it exceeded my expectations. The coffee was exceptional, with a rich, smooth flavor that coffee enthusiasts will appreciate. Also the food was absolutely delightful. The cafe offers a variety of dietary options, including vegan and gluten-free, making it accessible for everyone. The service was friendly and prompt, and the cozy atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors, added to the overall enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Phillip Island!
