This is the kind of place we call a Mamma Jackpot! A stunning cafe that is family friendly, a great vibe, delicious food AND has a playground!

Barwon Edge is relatively new, and the cafe section is the latest casual dining addition to the restaurant. Mamma LOVES the picnic rugs with mini tables you can choose to sit at outside, but there is also seating indoors and up on the higher level.

It’s a lovely back area with grass and also a playground for little ones. It also has a path that leads down to the Barwon River for a wander after you’re done.

At the front of the venue is a huge grassy area and pond, also a good spot to explore afterwards.

Food and drinks are delicious with pizzas and pastries, plus a kids menu, coffees and wine if you are inclined. On the weekends you may find live music which is just the cherry on the top here.
