How we read reviews →Ballarat's best-loved all-day cafe. brunch favourites by day, Asian fusion dinner via the Lantern menu by night.
Warm, plant-filled cafe with a relaxed daytime buzz that shifts to a cosier, more intimate mood for the evening Lantern dinner service.
9-spice chai, cold-pressed juices, genuine coeliac/gluten-intolerance knowledge in the kitchen, hanging plants, and the separate Lantern by Wildseed dinner concept sharing the same room.
The evening Lantern menu draws on genuine Asian influences, such as nasi goreng and fusion small plates, as a modern reinterpretation rather than a single-heritage cuisine.
Most reviewers call it fairly priced for generous, high-quality plates, though a couple of visitors flagged it as pricier than expected for a cafe.
