What a great gem hidden away in Hallet Cove. With spectacular views looking onto the beach and water if you’re perched seated on the bench table, it’s a great place to be on a beautiful day we had. Grab a menu, make your order and payment at the counter and they’ll bring out the items to you. Very friendly service.
Had a bit of an appetite that day as missed out on eating breakfast. We had Wiener Schnitzel (veal) which had two large crispy pieces with a good fresh serving of apple slaw and fries. Got an addition of mushroom gravy which came in a bowl. Great value for money to be had. The Trio Of Sliders were pork, beef, and chicken and tasted great. Side of Polenta Chips were oh so crunchy. Drinks were lovely too.
Well worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for fantastic views to go with the delicious food.

We are fairly sure this is our new favourite place to eat breakfast ❤ and lunch and dinner...... looking forward to summertime dining 👌🍳🍔🍰
Always a good place for breakfast, great location. Service can be up and down, although since it's changed to ordering at the counter it's improved since you don't have to try to wave someone down in the busy times to take your order. Best place to eat in Hallett Cove
After a long hike around the cove, it was a pleasant experience to be able to dine in this delectable establishment that is amply placed overlooking the beautiful shores. Now let me nip out the cons before I get to the pros, the staff may seem a little stressed or pretentious but then again they are only human so sometimes it happens, but that does not diminish the quality of good food and drinks that they serve. The meals were scrumptious and hearty with their wedges, pizzas and arianci balls being the highlight of our meal. I would highly recommend their smoothies as well as it is really refreshing after a long hike. Hope this restaurant continue to improve and expand, so that more hikers can appreciate this gem of Hallet Cove.
Breakfast was amazing.. I had the ham Benedict. Delicious! I also had a mixed fresh juice which was nice but $9 is a bit expensive for a little bottle!
The service was lovely. Apart from the older lady who works in juice bar who was carrying sandwiches up the stairs was pretty rude. The only really bad thing is that little half door/gate thing!!! Outside, we were sitting right next to it and It is so loud, everyone who opens it and goes out just slams it, and since it was a busy cafe there was people coming in and out every minute! So every minute trying to eat our breaky or trying to chat was disturbed by this massive bang! And it made me jump every time. They need to ban this entrance/exit. It's only like 2 meters extra to the main entrance people!
Went here for dinner then breakfast the next morning and I must say it was amazing food was excellent price was fair and staff are great and the dessert well I can say I won't need to go beyond the city for a great dessert bar cause it was to die for the whole Fam enjoyed it and will def go back again even if just for coffee and treats we had salmon, whittling penne pasta followed by banana spring rolls the salted caramel was the highlight plus lemon curd desserts ect and breakfast smashed avocado was great look forward to returning thankyou boat shed for supplying down south dinners to an amazing restaurant/cafe as we are well overdue for something great and local
My wife and I went to a 30th last night in the upstairs function part. Awesome food. By far the best chicken I have ever had. Huge selection of food, all being top shelf. Friendly staff. Great venue!
Had the veggie burger, chips and juice. Brilliant. Great view and pleasant staff. I'll come again............................................
Absolute gem! This is the best place to go for great service and amazing food. No matter how busy they are they are willing to help with a smile. My husband and I both ordered pizzas. A chili prawn one and a margarita!! Yummy!! For entree we had chicken wings and beef and lamb meatballs in tomato sauce. Can't wait to come back.
Stopped for coffee after a long walk along the board walk, ended up grabbing some brunch too. Ice coffee good. Brunch delicious! Would go back again.
Lovely place for breakfast. We had the brekky burger which was served on a beautiful soft brioche bun & really good value. The huevos rancheros was also very tasty & the ricotta hotcakes were devine, they just melted in your mouth. We visited on a Friday morning & the cafe wasn't overly busy so there wasn't much waiting time between ordering & receiving our food.
Been here twice now with my partner and each meal we have had has been amazing. It can get pretty busy so be prepared to wait a little while at peak times. That would never stop us though! 5 stars!
Ideally placed for finishing up the Marino Coastal walk, Boatshed Cafe has a warm atmosphere and lovely view of Hallet Cove. Main meals were expensive, but the steak sandwich we had was absolutely delicious and well sized- we shared. The other burgers looked tasty too.
The range and appearance of desserts wasn't quite up to the high standard of the rest of the cafe, however. The staff were friendly and worked extremely efficiently considering there were 3 for a full, busy cafe. However, one of our orders- a slice of cheesecake- was either too slow coming or forgotten since it required no preparation but was not served after 10 or so minutes. Everything else was excellent though.
An all round excellent cafe environment and a good experience, if a little expensive. Would definitely return!
Great food, great value. Coming from Perth, it was refreshing to find a coastal cafe that wasn't pretentious and didn't charge through the nose for good food. We had eggs benedict and bacon and eggs. Both were fantastic. The ham on the eggs benedict was delicious!
Lovely local spot. Best local cafe we always enjoy coming down for a meal! Pizzas are really yummy! Service is fantastic, one of the girls has a great sense of humor and makes our visits enjoyable. Grab a brownie on the way out!
Best Brekky in Adelaide. Went here for brekky on sunday the 8.11 had an amazing breakfast was extremely busy and took barely 15 minutes to come out and was delicious. Service was great, and the place has definatly improved its service and wait times. The manager was a great help getting my children colouring in and making sure they were happy. Coffee was great too.. Even had time and a room for cake. Highly recommend the lemon muffins. Boatshed is a great place and we will be BACK! good work boatshed

Service and management need attention!. I agree with previous reviews this place has got great potential. The location and view from the cafe is fantastic. The outdoor area is great feature. The food was wonderful. Though the service and management need attention. We made a booking for breakfast, but when we got there we found they had given our table to other people. So we were left waiting in the outdoor area which was quite cold even with the blinds down, unfortunately only one heater was working so that did not help. We were later told that the people who had took our table said they had a booking and the waitress happened to say was it under the name ??? which they said yes to. My suggestion to management and staff would be to ask customers what name the booking is under and let them say not the staff. To make sure people are not lying and taking other peoples tables. We explained to staff that we had booked, one staff member believed us and was very accommodating, whilst another staff member was overheard adamantly saying that we didn't and was offering tables inside to other people. They also seemed quite understaffed.
This is a great place locally to go, pizzas are great, beat Domino's hands down, why would you go to the HC shopping Centre & sit in the car park restaurants(actually why would you go there regardless) when you can come here & watch the sun set over a bottle of red...
Great Meal. We had a great meal at the Boat Shed today, my partner and I both had the Cajun Chicken Burger, and they were yummo!
Unfortunately, yes the service is lacking in areas, when I called to book the lady on the phone was quite short with me, I put this down to the cafe being busy. When we arrived it wasn't too busy, we were told where to sit no problems, but as others have mentioned the vibe that the (manager/owner) gives off isn't the best!
We will still return as the food was great, hope that the service is a bit better next time.

Food outweighs Service. Whilst I thoroughly enjoy the food in this cafe, I concur with other posters regarding the service
The Boatshed is our local haunt. Its a go-to place for a tandoor pizza, chicken burger or roast vegetable salad. Depending on the time of the day, service can be pretty fast to woefully slow. The coffee usually suffers by the end of the day as the machine needs a clean out.
Now that the cafe is getting busy, it needs some re-organising with regards to the beverages/food orders. The barista seems to be stuck with taking food orders, making coffees and drinks and organising cakes etc and there is a cast of thousands in the kitchen area.
Mind you, it doesn't help when you have customers standing at the counter uhhmming and ahhing over what they are going to order. One day, I watched a customer spend over 7 frustrating minutes pondering over their order, whilst the queue of disgruntled customers grew. (It was a warm, busy Sunday lunch time). Meanwhile a backlog of coffees and beverages built up whilst the counter staff member was trying to wait patiently for this person to make a decision.
On the food front, everything I have sampled has been full of flavour, made of quality ingredients and consistent in their standard of presentation. There are usually a good selection of desserts, muffins and cake.
Oh, and did I mention the view? Outstanding! The view, ambience and food makes up for the periodic delays.
Amazing location. Staff were so friendly, food was amazing especially the pizzas. Tried them a few times now and the flavours and quality are second to none with a real home made feel. Only disappointing part was when my plate was empty!
Efficient staff managed to find us a table in this busy csfe, even though we didn't have a reservation. Good food and lovely views
Lovely food with great views. Try the cliff walk too- even better views
Best burger I've ever had. Attention to detail, friendly staff...and a stunning ocean view!
Check it! Quality food (breakie)
AMAZING Food. Have come here regularly for Breakfast and it is always fantastic. Have never had an even close to bad meal here. Really, Really good food.
Yummy food great view. We have eaten a few times at the Boatshed ( next to the hallett cove conservation park) most recently last weekend. They have renovated with an extended covered outdoor eating area which will be fantastic in spring and summer. The food is yummy ,I had salt and pepper squid entree size ( not very big but a good size for lunch) which I really enjoyed and my daughter had the bruschetta which was served on a pita bread and looked and tasted yummy. We are yet to try the breakfast menu but that looked great too. We will be back !!
Amazing selection. Have been coming to the Boatshed for quite awhile now. The food is always fresh and tasty, I especially love the eggs benedict and the the chilli prawn pizza. The staff are always friendly and the coffee great. Keep up the good work!
Poached eggs weren't soft and the sweet potato fritters were slightly burnt, but great location and I'd come back to try the lunch and dinner menu. Kids pancakes were a hit.
We ate there Easter Sunday...great food great service and quick too. Pizza menu is very yum. Wood fired. Take a jacket as if you have to sit outside it can be a little breezy. Amazing view.
Had a Saturday lunch date with a friend of mine here to try it and we loved it!!
Food was great, came out quickly and was delish. There were not many others there though.
I had the chicken pizza and it was so tasty that I have been copying it at home!!
My friend had the fish and chips and it was lovely too.
Would highly recommend this little hidden gem!
We had breakfast there this morning and it was fantastic. It is a great spot that we love going to. A couple of months ago about 20 of us went from Hallett Cove Baptist Church one Saturday morning and we were very well looked after. This is one of my favourite spots to go with Family and Friends. Well done Team at Boatshed Cafe at Hallett Cove
Great meals!! Driving Past looking for something fresh & fast glad we stopped here s&p plus a schnitzel with salad, delicious and excellent service considering they were closing up :)
Great food, good service (wasn't busy) the pizza was awesome, and the salt n pepper squid was good, great lunch spot on a sunny day :)
Beautiful location. The setting for this lovely cafe is amazing. Beautiful sea views complemented by great service. The breakfast was good and you can walk it off on the beach!
Lovely experience!. I have dined at the Boatshed Cafe twice. The food was excellent with, great fresh flavours, and the service was quite good as well. Definitely recommended
Finally! I found a cafe in Hallet Cove that is good!. Fair priced, simple tasty food, with a good view. I will be eating here again. Definately fills the spot. Compared to other cafes around Hallet Cove, this one is the best so far.
Like it. A great place for breaky or lunch. A family friendly cafe with great food and view.
Great experience all up. Food was great, drinks were nice, dessert was a little average.
This was the last dinner night for a few months.
We felt there may have been a staff shortage as the waits for service were quite long.
All n all, worth a visit.
Nice cafe right next to the trailhead/ carpark. Enjoyed the fish & chips but the view is the real treat - get the counter seats! Loud chatters as the place was packed during lunch but nothing the AirPods can’t handle. Enjoy a nice stroll after meal but best with covered shoes - trail is infested with ants and buzzing flies part of the summer experience.
We ordered a homemade burger, fried squid, and drinks.
It took a long time for the food to come out, but when I ate it while watching the summer sea, I felt at peace.
I could feel the liveliness of the crowd.
Fantastic view and right on the doorstep of a lovely outdoor walk which is highly recommended. Easy online booking but the staff weren't the most welcoming or friendly. Food was average to good.
This is a great place to enjoy the sea view while dining. The food is good, we like the pizza, pasta and ice cream here.
Visited with my mum and lad. Lovely to sit in the shade on seats at the front of the Kiosk and look out to the sea and to the Conservation Park. Fast service and nice coffee. Cafe has a cafe part - more like inside dining - and a downto earth kiosk with basic food and coffee. We were at the Kiosk Nearby parking and with smooth, well planned footpath access not too steep.
