A hidden gem in Iluka.
Relaxed atmosphere, chic but unpretentious, friendly and accommodating service, a limited menu that catered to all, and a wine list that included varieties from Italy.
The best 3 course meal I have had in a long time... flavours and fresh produce to stimulate your palate. We had to taste/share each dish!
A great night out, company was good fun too!
Go there again, definitely!
ps Kieran and Aaron, you guys have brought the best to this part of the MNC, I wish you all the best!
Stumbled across this little gem at the end of our camping trip - Awesome food and service - staff went the extra mile to make breakfast a breeze for 2 dad's and five kids under 9!
Highly recommend!
Absolutely delicious!!! Quite possibly the most delicious laksa Iâve ever had, loaded with a generous serving of fresh local prawns. The staff are delightful and friendly, the service fast. This place definitely worth a visit if youâre in the area. Canât wait to come back next time weâre in town.

In my house we donât eat McDonald's, KFC, Hungry Jack's, Red Rooster, Subway or any of the other fast food giants that litter this countryâs major highways. This makes road trips a little more complicated, because while it's easier to acquiesce and eat junk, I try to hunt down real food (and no, I donât mean Oliverâs Real Food). What makes me happiest is finding a small regional gem like The Laneway Cafe in the tiny coastal town of Iluka... Set at the mouth of the Clarence River, Iluka is home to just under 2000 people. Itâs a 36 kilometre round trip to The Laneway Cafe for lunch, but it's well worth the effort. While it doesnât look like much from the front, the narrow laneway opens up into a relaxed, covered garden setting. For owners Aaron Moon and Kieran Mutimer, The Laneway CafĂ© was part of...
Keep Bringing the Flavours!. What a super find! The "Laneway" isn't exactly like something that you would find around the corner off Flinders Street in Melbourne as it's name may suggest but it is very Iluka chic; and that's not a bad thing. It is very casual and really relaxed. If you are still stressed (which is unlikely if you have been in Iluka for longer than an hour), you will instantly unwind the moment that you sit down. Plenty of outside tables if you have the fur kid with you.
Then comes the food. Moroccan Spiced King Prawns, Fig Salad and Warm Lima Bean Salad were all fabulous. Great Chef who loves his local produce. As long as he keeps bringing the flavours we'll keep coming back.
A great little cafe, which is well worth the 20min diversion off the highway.
We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday at 2pm, and were well rewarded with a fresh and tasty meal, and friendly service.
The daily special of Lamb Kofta balls, babaganoush, a red pepper and fennel salad was superb with the right balance of flavours, and a light dressing.
We will stop here again!
Sophisticated contemporary urban Australian food like you'd find in the inner city of Sydney or Melbourne but with lovely country charm and unpretentiousness. Great garden setting or warm rustic indoors, run by local food coffee and wine fanatics. Really lifts this idyllic seaside village up a notch or three.
