Been going here for years now. Always a nice place to be. Tonight I took my little kids who also love it. (Their request in fact) Mostly gluten free which is a huge win for me. Great selection of drinks. Good for any occasion. Love your work team (:

All the food is vegan and gluten free. Set menu is very convenient and there is plenty of food. Definitely recommended if you have allergies or follow a vegetarian/vegan diet. Staff are nice and welcoming, definitely gonna go back!

I would have the pleasure of attending this restaurant before seeing a film at the Ritz. The service was lovely, i was treated like a Parisian elite who had just enough time to visit this boutique crepery. I ordered the La Bretonne, of which the creme fraiche highlighted a delicate combination of the sours from the sour cider that was tinged upon my tongue, and mushrooms that enriched a grandeur of which felt you were greeted with a hearty richness that was neither too heavy nor too bland. Minus 1 star for being gluten free

This is the best cafe for coeliacs in Nelson Bay. Best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had. Southern style chicken burger and wagyu burger were both amazing - just remove the fries as they aren’t gluten free. Tons of gluten free options for Brekky and lunch on the menu. Staff is great / knowledgeable about coeliac restrictions and even better - the chef is coeliac. Also make sure to get any gluten free sweets they have - we tried the blueberry muffin, date & walnut bread, & coconut raspberry bread - all incredible and you can’t even tell it’s gluten free. Can’t wait to come back here!

MID Overall, we had a mixed experience – some dishes were delicious, but several service and food issues kept the evening from being truly special. • Tasty mains: The lamb (with potatoes) was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. • Great gluten-free dessert: The gluten-free rhubarb dessert was a wonderful end to the meal – creative and flavorful. Areas for Improvement • Slow service for basics: Water service was slow, and one of our cocktails was forgotten until we reminded the staff. • Service slip-ups: A waiter dropped cutlery near our table, and we were almost served a drink in a chipped glass (caught just in time). • Table clutter: Unused wine glasses stayed on our table all night, which felt cluttered and unnecessary. • No dish explanations: Each dish was delivered with no description or introduction, leaving us guessing what we were eating. • Food quality issues: Some ingredients not fresh – the cauliflower salad had pomegranate seeds that tasted old, and a gluten-free zucchini flower appetizer had an off (fishy) taste. • Burnt dessert: Unfortunately, the churros we ordered came out burnt, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.

We had a really nice meal here . The brisket was really good and was also gluten free. So that was good .The service was good and the decor in the room was very good too .A good selection of music was playing when we were there .It looks like they have live music there too .Well worth a look .

Fantastic option for anyone looking for Gluten Free options. With a coeliac in the family, we struggle to find somewhere decent to eat to accommodate both adult and kids taste. Staff were knowledgeable of GF requirements and they confirmed they have a separate fryer for GF food. Great location on the waterfront, service was lovely and the food was fantastic. My Cluck Norris burger was the best chicken burger I've had in a long time. My husband said the GF chicken schnitzel was great, and my son loved the Risk it for the Brisket burger too. My daughter polished off her kids meal in seconds, and said the fish batter was nice and crispy. Highly recommend and it will be our go to when down by the waterfront.

Mexicana Cantina in Toukley is a vibrant and authentic Mexican dining spot that perfectly captures the lively spirit of Baja Mexico and Southern USA cantinas. From the moment you step inside, the colourful Day of the Dead artwork, tiled bar, and neon signs create a warm, festive atmosphere that’s perfect for a casual night out or a fun gathering with friends. The menu is a delicious celebration of bold Mexican flavours, featuring standout dishes like chipotle mayo prawns with bacon tacos, smoky BBQ chicken wings, and a mouthwatering battered fish burrito with pineapple and guacamole. There’s something for everyone, including generous gluten-free options, and the staff are always happy to help with dietary needs to ensure a safe and enjoyable meal. The cocktails deserve a special mention—expertly crafted Margaritas and other tequila-based drinks complement the food beautifully and add to the overall lively vibe of the cantina. The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome whether it’s your first visit or you’re a regular. Overall, Mexicana Cantina is a true gem on the Central Coast, offering authentic flavours, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere that keeps locals coming back. If you’re in Toukley and craving genuine Mexican cuisine with a creative twist, this is the place to go.

Food not great and overpriced. Had to pay an additional $5 for gluten free bun that was inedible. Won’t be going back. If you’re going to charge for GF at least buy premium grade. Disappointing 😢

Don Brooker

Great service and friendly staff. Kitchen is great with diet needs eg Dairy or gluten free. They are happy to be pleasant and personal even with a difficult dietary restrictions order and an event on outside. The accommodation is pleasant and the amenities clean and attractive. The shower was terriffic by I might have been biased having had camp showers for the last 2 weeks! All in all a great experience

Hidden gem! The majority of the menu has a gluten free option and they don’t charge you for the gluten free alternative. Highly recommended it
