The Mountain Kitchen is a great spot to head for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a coffee. It is a cute little café that serves up great coffee, homestyle gourmet food including homemade pies and pastry parcels with amazing chutney, muffins, risotto, frittata, and deliciously naughty slices. The staff are super friendly, they have the low down on what activities/events are happening in town, and the Mountain Kitchen is pretty much the daytime social gathering spot of Dinner Plain, regardless of whether you get cosy inside or sit outside on sunny days. I can't wait to get back there!
Lovely food and staff. Excellent Barista who is friendly, accomodating and makes an excellent latte.
Mountain Kitchen serves the best breakfast you can find on dinner plain. This cosy cafe is decorated in a homely style, with small tables inside.
The breakfast is a decent serving of fresh ingredients. As a vegan, they didn’t explicitly accomodate dietary requirement on the menu, but the options can be adjusted to suit. For non-vegans, they also have a ton of baked sweets and snacks.
I had sourdough (3 slices) with beans, mushrooms and tomatoes, as pictured below. It was unfortunate that they had run out of avocado by 11:00am, when I arrived - a breakfast staple that was sorely missed. As such, I’d recommend coming early.
The coffee was also nice, with perfect froth and full coffee flavour for my soy latte (btw they have a lot of milk options).
All-in-all, highly recommend!
I love coming here winter and summer. The food is yummy and home made daily. Nothing better than tucking into the banana cake fresh out of the oven after being out on the trail or the egg and bacon muffins. (Pictured). The humble tea's and coffees are divine due to the gorgeous mountain water...good service and good value.
A small cafe that certainly delivers!
During summer was delighted by their wealth of local gourmet foods and wines. At night they shift gears with their Asian menu and a great vibe with the live music while watching the sunset.
During winter it is always warm and welcoming - either for breakfast or a coffee. Also a great location for watching the world go by.
Awesome ambience, nice coffee and friendly staff. Most recommend cafe in this place. Good job and keep it up. 😊
This place is a hidden gem, the food is amazing and it's got a lovely cozy feel. Great coffee and the staff are cool.
I have not only had the pleasure of being a customer at Mountain Kitchen, but I have had the pleasure of working here with Ally. Never have I met or worked with anyone more selfless. Ally will go out of her way to make every customers experience exceptional, putting everyone else's needs above her own every time.
The coffee never lets you down and the pastries and chutney will have you coming back time and again.
had best coffee on my stay to Dinner Plain. Food was so tasty. you can tell it’s home made and the staff were knowledgeable about the village. Loved sitting outside in the snow. Also felt safe not overcrowded- thank you i’ll be back
I have been coming for years and Ali has always managed to exceed my expectations! Excellent coffee year long, great home made food in winter and summer and friendly service! In 4 years I have never had a bad experience. Highly recommended!
