Looking back now, it does strike me as slightly inconsistent that this place is rated TA 4.5/5 and FB 4.7/5 but on Zomato 2.9/5. There's always expected to be some discrepancy and I tend to opt for the Zomato ratings more (even though I don't quite understand how they are calculated sometimes since the change from Urbanspoon).
Anyway the travel companions were TA enthusiasts and to be fair I thought the name of the place showed some promise.
After a 4-day hike to Frenchman's Cap which included battering of my knees, most foods would've gone down quite well. For a cafe, the menu is rather limited. Pies, toasties and burgers with really not much other offerings that the word cafe springs into my mind (sure I've been coloured by the cafes in Melbourne, Canberra and even Hobart just prior).
Pies can be served with a few different options. Being calorie-unconscious, I selected the Mountaineer. The pies that day were limited to only plain beef and beef with onion unfortunately. My beef with onion pie came topped with rasher bacon and thick cheese sauce and served with reasonable sweet potato fries. The pie was quite average with all mince and no chunks of meat that I much prefer.
The Wombat toastie had eggplant, roast capsicum, semi dried tomato, rocket, feta, pesto and basil and topped with a couple of onion rings. I've been spoilt by cafe breads and sourdoughs and so white loaf seemed a bit of a letdown. But the ingredients inside were a nice typical vegetable combination.
Next time I'd probably look harder (and myself) to see what other options are around. If I ended up here again I'd certainly opt for the burger and see how that goes down.
