mountain café owner and head chef - kirsten.

My love, passion and fascination with food, tastes, produce and travel came from my Grandparents John and Heather Saver - childhood memories of handpicked asparagus, pots of soups, handmade chutneys, pickles, salamis and meats hanging in the garage dominate. They were my introduction to fresh ingredients, world food, the pleasures of eating out and the art of simple flavours..... This is why I love food to be simple, fresh & full of flavour instead of fussy and overcomplicated.

I dedicate my café to my Grandparents’ who believed in me and kick started my love of fine foods... I would also like to thank my long suffering Husband Al for his patience, understanding & support throughout these years....
