About Lavish Cafe
Lavish Cafe sits in Port Adelaide Plaza and runs all day breakfast, brunch and lunch, so there's no real wrong time to turn up. For a cafe in Port Adelaide, it has a strong local reputation, and the staff are a big part of the reason. People who go regularly talk about being welcomed with a smile and a bit of a chat, and one local described the owner and her team as feeling like a home away from home.
The menu is a large one, big enough that some regulars admit it can be overwhelming, but that means there's something for most tables. Vegan and vegetarian options are on offer, and the vegan breakfast gets a nod, with mushrooms in vegan garlic butter and house-made baked beans singled out. Hash browns come up often, too.
Gluten-free eating is where Lavish gets particular praise. We've heard from a local who has been back several times for gluten-free meals and sweets, from clubhouse sandwiches that held together properly to carrot cake and lemon cheesecake, all without any ill effects. If you're coeliac or cooking for someone who is, that's useful to know.
On the drinks side, the Belgian hot chocolate is the one people rave about, and the homemade iced teas have their fans. Coffee gets mixed reports. Plenty of regulars rely on it for their morning fix, while others have had a cup that missed the mark. Food is similar: waffles with strawberries and cream and a tender beef schnitzel earned high marks, though one omelette and a plate of hot dogs were found a touch salty or dry. A few locals also find some dishes a little pricey, though most feel the generous serves make up for it.
It's a comfortable place to bring the kids, with high chairs, colouring-in on the menu and both indoor and outdoor seating. It can get noisy when busy, and there's a wheelchair-accessible car park. Takeaway is available if you're short on time. Hours vary through the week, so check before you head in.
