Had a steak and onion pie, but was rather bland and flavourless. Sausage roll was okay. Cakes on display looked a bit ordinary so I had to drive to another bakery with more appealing ones. There are better bakeries than this one in the hills.

Approximate cost: $5.50

The fish we got from here was pretty bland for blue grenadier. We even saw them get two frozen pieces of fish from the freezer, frozen stiff and put them into the deep frier. So if you don't mind frozen flavourless fish, then this is the place to go. Otherwise not that great. Also you had to pay extra for a humble lemon when other places will give you a couple of wedges if lemon for free. This may have made it more palatable at least (or tartare sauce if it weren't so overpriced). Otherwise, it was cooked okay. I wouldn't go back in a hurry.

I've always thought of this place as being Swiss in name only. I'd love to know if it was ever owned by any Swiss but I don't think that's the case now or in recent times. In any case that's not a reason for a poor rating.

I've eaten there a few times over the years, things like pies (certainly more Aussie than Swiss food) and cakes. While I found it reasonable, it was nothing to rave about. But I'd still have given them a better rating if my past experience was as good today.

But no, today I bought a piece of Vanilla Slice to take away. It looked okay in this dimly lit shop, but when I got it home the filling was almost bright orange. It completely lacked flavour or richness, if anything it just tasted of egg. The pastry itself was okay, but overall I can't say it was nice.

I don't know if it's a recent change of management or what. The price would be fine if the quality was better.

We had noodles (with honey pepper beef) and rice (with beef and black bean sauce) dishes here. In that sense the meals were as good as they come. Though the service was a bit slow and could do with improvement. They were baffled that my friend hadn't touched his meal then when we pointed out that we were still waiting for another meal, they brought it straight away. It wasn't sizzling on its 'sizzling hot plate' but still satisfactorily hot. The prices perhaps make up for the slow service as it is excellent value and good food. We didn't try any of the western style dishes.

Approximate cost: $9

I had a burger with the lot and chips and it was pretty decent. The lady even reminded me to get my drink I'd paid for when the food was ready. The others had fish and they seemed pretty happy with it. Though they were closing and wouldn't let us eat at their tables, we ate in the nearby park which was probably better anyway. I think they might have even turned their cookers back on for our meal so good service on the whole.

Approximate cost: $8
