⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel looked after all night. You can tell they love what they do — friendly, professional, and efficient service throughout. The food was exceptional. The lamb ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The corn — wow! So simple but bursting with taste, and hands down one of the highlights of the night. We also had a glass of Shiraz that paired perfectly with everything — smooth, rich, and one of the best we’ve had in a long time. The vibe was spot on — warm, inviting and buzzing with energy without being too loud. Perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable night out. Will definitely be back soon

Had a great lunch at Tomahawks in Bright. We tried the roasted cauliflower, which was packed with flavour served with a rich cashew cream and chickpeas, it was a standout. The chipotle crispy sticky chicken was also a winner: tender, full of flavour, and not greasy at all. Perfect bar-style food. The staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the peppy vibe. The restaurant is just a short walk from the town centre, though it took us a little while to find it. Glad we did, definitely one of the better spots for finger food in Bright.

Absolutely sensational. From the moment we were greeted at the door the staff were so friendly and accommodating. You can tell this place is doing something right as they seemed to be the only busy restaurant in town the night we were there. Each dish was incredible. I don’t think I’ve had better fried chicken anywhere else. I can also highly recommend the “loaded” Cerveza, unreal. Couldn’t fault a single thing here. Outstanding work guys!

Absolutely amazing. Best food I've ever had at a restaurant! Overheard someone from Melbourne saying it was the most delicious meal they have ever had, and asked how to pay them more than what they were asking. I'll be back for sure - see you again shortly.

Cherry walk check, Canyon walk check, relaxing outdoor lunch at Tomahawks check - these are some of the favourite things this pack likes to do on our annual Bright/Dinner Plain trip! Every year Tomahawk consistently serves up delicious, flavourful, balanced, share plates. Big outdoor tables when available and relaxed, dog friendly staff. We always over order to try as many things as we can and the huskies don’t complain about helping with the lamb and sticky chicken!

One of the best nights we’ve had in a while - food was delicious, atmosphere was amazing! And our lovely fellow Scottish waiter was excellent. Can’t wait to come back!!! Ps we also ordered the fried chicken and it was so yum we forgot to take a picture haha.

Honestly, 10/10 for the menu — absolutely outstanding. I was so impressed, especially considering it’s in such a remote spot. Didn’t expect the food to be this good, but every dish was a hit! They also have a great beer selection and the cocktails? Spot on. Well-balanced and super easy to enjoy. The place itself is a little on the small side, and they don’t take bookings, which can be a bit unlucky if it’s busy — but totally worth the visit.

Luckily we booked a table before we got there, this cafe was super popular, you can easily make a reservation online. They take walk in’s as well but may need to wait. We had the canadian toast, scones and truffled mushroom toast. Canandian toast was great! They did’nt drown the toast with maple syrup which was what I was worried about, it was just the right amount.They give u heaps of bacon pieces! Wish there were more strawberry and blueberries rather than more bacon to balance the sweet and savoury more, rather than more savoury. Interesting texture of savoury and sweet. Scones were super soft and tender that melt in your mouth but also has a crispy texture at the bottom. Service was quick and welcoming. Food and coffee came out really quickly. Definitely recommend if you’re stopping by Bright for a bite.

Good cafe eats, a tad pricey for the extras and the eggs were overdone and the breakfast was cold but otherwise not too bad. Little bit of imagination and flavour would go a long way. And a few more options in the cabinet would be great. The coffee was good but not amazing would get coffee again

A great start to a cool morning with breakfast here. Wife had the mushroom medley and I couldn’t resist another chance for a Rubin sandwich to compare with all the others I’ve had. Wife said her dish had amazing fresh flavours. Their rendition on a Rubin was a great example of how you can make a sandwich stand out against a classic sandwich done around the world. Service is exceptional in a cheerful atmosphere. Coffee was as good as you can get anywhere here in Australia. Would love to be a local. Thanks to all of the staff

When the staff open and hold the front door for you, as they welcome you in....you know you've found a good spot. Went on on quiet Monday for breakfast, but would get busy on the weekend. Great food and drink, great views and even better hospitality.

We were here over the Easter weekend and we were grateful to sit in for brunch. My husband had the open steak sandwich and he loved it. I unfortunately had the double braised pork belly with salad, and the pork belly was mostly fat. I ate it and left with a stomachache. Will not be returning.

Great breaky here! Staff were lovely also. Loved the reusable colouring sheet for the kids!! Good views from the deck and a playground across the road for afterwards.

It was my birthday and I had a wonderful lunch with my husband. We sat in the deck - what a view. The staff were fabulous - friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I had a roasted vegetable salad and my husband had the chicken piadina. Yummy

Buzzing with a great vibe for a Saturday night dinner date. Real food. Tasty and satisfying. Was good to have the option of table qr code ordering, and at the bar, as our phone wasn't working. Enjoyed Fainters dubbel and Porter stout 👌😋

Bright Brewery was such a great find! The food was super tasty — the menu is your classic pub and bar-style stuff, but the quality was really solid. What stood out to me was the view: it looks out onto a walking track, which made the whole vibe feel relaxed and refreshing. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can pick depending on the weather. When we were there, they even had a live performance going on, which added a fun touch. The décor is quirky and cool — I think the lights were made from old beer kegs, which was a nice detail! Highly recommend for a chill afternoon or casual night out.

With Amazing drinks , lots & lots of outdoor & indoor spaces. River flowing next door, park for children, this is the place to be in bright . Be it a Sunday brunch or Friday party .. everything is wonderful. Great staff .. amazing wood fired pizzas & live music .. just excellent ambience . What more you can ask for a chilly snowy Sunday .

Loved it so much we returned! Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Pizzas are huge, cauliflower is yummy and the sausages and mash was delicious! Local wines are great along with an excellent range of beers. We will come back... Thanks

Good place for a meal the meals are quite big so could possibly share mains between 2, good selection of drinks ( a bit self explanatory) , overall food but the food was lacking a bit of flavour and uniqueness there is alot of pulled pork and the pork belly was average. If this is fixed it has potential

Stopped in for dinner the night before we headed up to Hotham. The service was excellent, very friendly, quick on food and drinks delivered to our table. I had Butchers Block special. It was a 500g T-Bone and my fiancée had the Pumpkin Pizza. Definitely will be back next time we're passing through.

Always a great experience. Great beers… core range is great but they also have some great seasonal hazy, dark and oat cream ales. Staff are always friendly and helpful (especially with heaters for Queenslanders) and it’s a lovely view during autumn with the leaves changing colour. The hero board is amazing for rubs and wings… but you will need 3/4 people to finish it unless you’re Homer Simpson. Pizzas are also great!

Fabulous Cafe. We visit here every time we visit Bright. Beautiful staff, great coffee and unreal food. Sit out the back and watch the Waterpark or we sat inside another day. Chilli scrabbled eggs are great but so was all the food. Presentation is awesome.

The food was delicious & the new owners are great! The main seating area is now sealed with windows so it’s a lot warmer for winter too. We enjoyed the chilli scramble & the potato rosti.

Amazing food and cozy space! The rosti and eggs benny were so good! Wanted to get the ricotta pancakes but we were so stuffed. Wish I had breakfast again here!

We went for lunch the first time and decided to try breakfast too. Best decision ever. Personally we felt this place serve decent food. My sister has visited this place often whenever she’s in bright. They serve good coffee too

First "indoor" venue where I've been that allow our dogs as well! Breakfast was delicious, we had the Big Brekky (juicy & sweet tomato, crispy sourdough , savoury sausage, creamy poached eggs) and Potato Rosti. Ginger and lemongrass tea is nice, both are well balanced. Would definitely return next time.

We drove for 3 hours and a half to have breakfast here and of course to see Bright.. anyway we arrived lots of people inside and we waited to give us a table since we saw a vacant table but we were catered into a side eating bench. I don’t normally eat in a side bench but when I asked that there’s an empty table anyway, the guy protested that it’s for 6 people dining and we’re only 3 , anyway we proceeded to the bench and ordered the pancakes. The price of the pancakes wasn’t equitable, nothing stands out in it. I felt sorry to myself that I ordered that. The good thing is their toilet was so clean. It’s very small venue and eating on the bench, the advantage was the good view outside. The service was quick. The latte was delicious.

Lovely food and coffee. Loved the pancakes. We came here twice for breakfast over the weekend. First time the place was busy so the service seemed inhospitable, while the second day it was less hectic so it felt more welcoming. At first we thought the serving was a little small for the price, but after finishing our meal we find that it was a good portion. The view we had where we were seated was amazing too. Overall we would return.

Bright Centenary Park is truly a fantastic destination and one of the highlights of visiting the Bright area. From the moment you arrive, you can see how well-maintained and family-friendly the park is, making it an ideal spot for people of all ages. The wide-open spaces are perfect for picnics, games, and simply relaxing outdoors, while the shaded areas provide plenty of comfort on warmer days. For families with children, this park is a real gem. There are excellent play areas where kids can run, climb, and explore in a safe and engaging environment. Parents can sit back and enjoy the scenery while still being able to keep an eye on their little ones. The nearby walking tracks are also a wonderful feature, offering opportunities for gentle strolls or longer walks, depending on your energy levels. The pathways are easy to navigate, making them suitable for prams, bikes, or just a casual wander with friends or family. One of the real highlights of Bright Centenary Park is how refreshing it feels on hot days. The surrounding natural environment creates a cooling atmosphere, and it is the perfect place to escape the heat while still being outdoors. The combination of lush greenery, open spaces, and fresh country air makes the experience both relaxing and rejuvenating. Whether you’re looking for a fun day out with kids, a scenic walk, or a place to simply unwind, Bright Centenary Park is an absolute must-visit. It captures the charm of Bright beautifully.

Beautiful park, all amenities and close to restaurants. Brilliant playground and waterpark for kids and big kids! BBQ and picnic areas. Perfect for individuals wanting some time out, couples or families.

Beautiful space for any season. Walking and bike riding tracks. Lots of grass space for picnicking. Good playground near for kids and water park nearby

Beautiful place to be in during the autumn 🍂 season to experience the full fun and beauty

I love here because when i came here in the autum. This is great place to relax among the trees yellow leaf and the birds every where. The sight and sound of the river to enjoy. Children's play ground, Barbecues and toilet facilities available. One of our favorite places in Bright.

Fabulous place. Always love going here. Very busy in the heat but you can find secluded spots along the river.

Good park with plenty of options to enjoy. Splash parks(a little slippery), adventure park for kids. Plenty of space to sit and relax beside the ovens river. Atone would love to spend some time in the flowing river on a hot sunny day. Easy accessibility to visitor Information center, restaurants, toilets and walking trails. Plenty of parking around the park. Good place to spend sometime while in Bright along with friends and family.

Bustling little place. Great vibes. Coffee was yummy but a bit strong for our liking. We preferred the medium with 1 shot instead of 2. The daily pistachio and orange scroll was yummy but out of the 2 we ordered, one was a bit doughy and not cooked through.

Enjoyed their home brand coffee it tasted great! Loved being able to sit outdoors, relax and enjoy the perfect weather with fresh air

Recently moved to town and this is our daily go to! Delicious coffee, the staff are super friendly and this place has a great vibe. If you’re heading to Bright this is a must visit!

We'd had their brand of coffee elsewhere in Bright and enjoined it, so today we went to the source and what a result, fabulous, best coffee in town and they know how to make a hot coffee (if you ask). Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. There's a few food options, I had a very nice Nutella donut, but its mostly about the coffee. Helpful staff. I believe they do different coffee bean blends each day. Closes at 2 pm when it turns into a gin distillery!

Lovely latte, delicious sweet scroll, beautiful venue! Inviting, spacious, yet cozy. Great music too.

Amazing coffee! So impressed, highly recommend

Best coffee in town with no doubt. Excellent and friendly service, great atmosphere. Awesome start of the day.

Delicious, filling food. Sadly the gas had to be replaced on the stove while we were there so had to wait a bit longer, but staff were very friendly and let us know. Great range of vegan options, and loved the pancakes.

The Big brekky's portion was massive, the coffee was delicious and most importantly, service was amazing. Such a cute little place that has a lovely outdoor area which my dog enjoyed very much.

On a weekend morning, I visited a cafe for breakfast. The cafe had a pleasant atmosphere and served decent lattes.. The food was decent, the service was fast and efficient, and the atmosphere was cozy. I ordered the big brekkie, which was a bit bland for my taste. However, the poached eggs, toast, and avocado were great. The hashbrown was too soft for my taste, and the mushrooms were dominant with herbs, which didnt suit my palate. The kids' pancake was delicious, served with fruits and honey drip.

A trip to Bright is never complete without a visit to Wild Thyme Cafe! Been here many times after a trip in the mountains and it never fails impress. The food and coffee is always great! Nice to have great vegan options… just wish the whole cafe was vegan :)

Good ambience, very lively place, many locals around. We ordered some Breakfast and it was yumm and filling and nachos plate was quite colorful with all different kinds of dips. Berry smoothie was amazing. A bit expensive though but a must try atleast once.

So glad we found this cafe! After struggling to find anywhere with vegan options around Bright it was a relief to find Wild Thyme. We had a fantastic vegan breakfast here. The whole cafe is vegan & vegetarian, and everything is clearly labelled and can be modified. So many delicious options! The vegan breakfast with scrambled tofu was so good and a huge serving. The porridge was also a huge serving and topped with so much fruit. My husband was very excited to find pancakes on the menu, and they were amazing too. The staff were all super friendly and attentive. If we were staying longer we would have come back every day!

Brought my family here, pleasantly surprised, absolutely delicious!! The KFV burger and pad Thai were awesome, as well as the alkaline greens smooth. Just do it!

Great bakery, and very busy. The Caucolli Pie was great (brocolli, cauliflower, bechamel) and my partner saiid his Ned Kelly Pie was excellent also (steak, bacon, egg, cheese).

This place would be 5 stars. They need a bettering service system - maybe a number on entry? l've seen our shorter delicate visitors get ignored. Amazing delicious selection of pastries, pies and rolls sandwiches, plus delicious goodies from the Beechworth Bakery

Never again. Got a breaky roll. Bread tasted old, bacon was cheap and fake-like. In fact the whole thing was dry, tasteless and far too expensive for what we got. Their saving grace was the coffee, which was not too bad.

Had long john and Belgian doughnut, absolutely delicious

Definitely worth the drive. The pies and pastry are perfectly delicious! I love the cinnamon donuts, chewy and yummy. The staff are very nice and attentive.

Went here for breakfast on a cold winters day. Found a nice pic warm shop, friendly staff . Great coffee and a very nice toasted ham and cheese sandwich. They every didn’t mind we ate our takeaway order inside as it was to cold outside

Fantastic restaurant! Definitely a must for locals and passer bys, the best food, we ordered and ate all the food and ordered a few more plates even, definitely will be returning!

After a big day, we wanted somewhere quieter to eat with the family. This place provided that, along with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The waiter was very friendly and was happy to help with anything. The food was delicious and priced very well. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! Try the satay prawns 👌🏼

Service was great. Food was tasty and not expensive. We had a few different dishes and it was all good. Nothing fancy, but worth it. Chinese tea for one was a large pot of tea served in a proper China cup - delish and super cute. Decor and setting are dated, but it is a cute family establishment. Would eat here again.

I don’t like to right negative reviews but it unavoidable for this restaurant. The food was simple the most ordinary and mostly inedible. I asked what vegan and vegetarian options they had. I ordered a vegetable fried rice that was so bland and flavorless, even soy sauce couldn’t resserect it. I asked about vegan friendly sauces to go with some mixed vegetables and was told the curry and satay sauces were ‘almost probably ok’ OMG!!! In the end I was offered black bean sauce. It was mushy, smelt terrible and tasted sickly and off. Again another item that was inedible. There was no entree I could have. I asked if tofu could be added…. ‘No we don’t have tofu because it goes off’ SERIOUSLY 😳 My husband enjoyed the corn soup. The dim sims are premade and shop bought (not home made) and his special fried rice was awful and he tossed it after 2 mouthfuls. What a waste of money! We obviously wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. Even though we had takeaway, the entrance, foyer, curtains, walls etc are dirty and light switches are filthy and light shades covered in cobwebs. Bright has much better options than this place! The menus on their google listing is 3 years old so keep that in mind too.

Food came quickly and was quite nice Had sizzling steak and fried rice. They were a little busy with take away so service wasn't brilliant but it was ok Would return. Thank you

Well I don’t write generally negative reviews too quick. It was Saturday night and we made our booking for 7 people with one high chair but when we visited there, we didn’t have the chair for small kid. Food prices were quite expensive that make sense because of most tourists visit but the quantity of food was very less. I am sorry if this review is hurting the staff and the owner but I hope this could be one way where they start improving their service. Seriously we ordered for large plate and what we got was between small to medium. Also the taste of the food wasn’t good enough.

Wow! Step back in time for a delicious Chinese meal you haven’t had since 100% hits volume 1 was pumping on your Walkman. I’m talking honey chicken, sweet and sour pork, crystal prawn, prawn crackers and more with pristinely preserved decor to match. Classics done right Also, in response to past reviewers, the powerpoints have been cleaned

I was so pleased to visit this restaurant again! The owner has taken some time to re-design the menu into a thoughtful selection of pasta dishes that are made with true Italian authenticity. My husband and I were so delighted with our meals - beautifully presented, tasteful and full of soul. Bellisimo! The atmosphere was wonderful and the staff were super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

A nice Italian restaurant with good selection of dishes. Food is surprisingly good and well presented. Frank was very accommodating as we walked in last minute during peak period and they’re fully booked but he still found a window to serve us, much appreciated. The service is great. The only area that needs some improvement is to have a better selection of wine. We’ll definitely go back when we visit Bright next time. ——————————- We revisited this place two years later and it’s still great. Frank is as welcoming as ever and the staff are really friendly.

Food was ok, overpriced but expected in Bright holiday spot. Rushed consistently throughout the evening, like they had others to sit. Bland service, for sale out the front reflected the service provided! Wine list outdated, provided wine that wasn’t requested, just say what you have and what you can offer!

The food was exquisite, when we couldnt decide out of 3 dishes, the owner suggested a share plate so we could try all 3 dishes. It was a great idea and we were so grateful. The owner Frank was very friendly and accomodating. The food was so amazing we went back again the next night to try more dishes.

Food tastes great, looks great and I can't knock them back for any of it. Depending on the staff member you got, they are friendly and super nice! However, what i can knock them back for is their pricing structure. It's strange and definately doesn't suit anyone just looking to eat one thing. Buying just one item (no matter what it is) will set you back $38. Buying 2 items (Either an entree with a main, or a main with a dessert etc) will set you back $45. Buying all 3 items (entree, main, and dessert) will set you back $55. So it becomes a situation where you 'might as well' get the 3 course meal. For my partner and I, 3 course meals, including 2 drinks, came to around $115 for the night. I had the bruschetta, then the steak, then the tiramisu. Also, i don't understand the background story of the owner on the menu. That alone takes up more than half of one of the two pages. If i wanted to know, i'd either ask a staff member or research it. Seems a bit like one of those restaurants where Gordan Ramsay would come in with his film crew haha.. Having tables next to the door to the outside tables in definately a bad idea too. You may get some inconsiderate customers that come in and out and shut the door behind them harder than they might intend. Probably won't be back. Seeing as Bright is a holiday destination, places are often booked out, and Sole e Luna just so happened to have space available. Overall, I'm not disappointed, the food was enjoyable, tasty and looked great. One of the staff members that served us was brilliant and very polite. I didn't get his name but he was a huge plus! Thanks guys!

Nice place for a meal. Tasty and high quality Italian food. Expensive and the food is bundled together for charging purposes. Serves are relatively small but adequate for most people. The ambience is nice inside but degrades considerably outside. Service is extremely slow when busy. They seem to give priority to take away orders. Generally not open on public holidays and bookings are recommended.

Beautiful three course meal best Italian food I have ever had in my life! All the staff were great, interactive and friendly! We had a blast and would definitely recommend heading in for a great night! 🇮🇹🍝

Easy to book online, warm welcome on arrival. Good selection of foods with quick service and excellent presentation. Standouts were the Korma Tofu and the Sticky Cauliflower. Definitely worth a visit for dinner, and I will certainly be a return customer.

Visited for the first time. Fried chicken was great, braised pork was just fine but expensive for its taste, fried rice was very oily felt like they had literally dipped rice into oil. However portion was good; Ambience and customer service was satisfactory.

Great taste, great service. We had the Feed me option, and we were not disappointed. Plenty of options served, and the size of each dish served was generous. Service was attentive. It's best to make a reservation for dinner as it gets very busy.

Great cocktails and food sharing choices. The staff are also very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the sour and the sling. The baos are nice and jucy, and I loved the dumplings, and spring rolls were yummy, fresh and quite generous😊 will be back next time as it was a wonderful experience! We really liked how large the venue was, we didn't feel crammed and got a nice spot by the fire for the two of us.

We had a lovely experience. One of the best place in Bright to have dinner on our way to Metung. We only had a couple of entrees from Fried Chicken, Prawn Dumplings & Tempura Nori Rolls it was a good decent amount of food for two. The Margarita and Yuzu Mojito is great too. We definitely stop again for a quick dinner.

Booked well in advance to secure a spot - fab cocktails - great food - great atmosphere - table service was and is, fast and friendly. I sent a message via open table - regarding diet restrictions - this was not addressed until 4hrs before we arrived - a little late in the day to be able to find another venue during 'cv19 normal' times. All in all we had a great time - I did manage to find things on the menu which were delicious and fitted into my requirements.

Outstanding bar in Bright! Everthing I ordered surprised me. The taste of their fusion dishes was beyond my expectation. Definitely a must to try and to return.
