Reviews for Top Paddock

Had a lovely family lunch. Food was very nice and yummy but there are a few things missing with the food to hit the mark. Service and atmosphere are great. Feedback on food: there was not enough hollandaise sauce with the eggs benedict to my liking (as it is served with two potato rosti). Confit duck Hash was yummy. The egg on toast (for my daughter - kid’s version) was very affordable but a bit dry (no butter). Coffee was not warm enough. Taste was good. Cold fresh apple juice: perfect.

Nice cozy place for great brunch! Their food was scrumptious and yummy! Wide selections of choices from mains to drinks.. portion is huge and good to share. Might be a little pricey but justifiable with the portion. Try it when you’re near.

Top Paddock is an institution for a reason. Even though it’s huge by cafe standards, there are little pockets of seating that make it feel a little more comfy while still retaining that busy buzz. Service was great, with us being seated and served quickly and politely. Not intrusive in any way, yet not negligent. The perfect balance. The coffee was ok. But I really like my coffee stronger in flavour. I’ll know next time to ask for an extra shot. The food was exceptional. Every cafe does their own Benny, and I’ve tried hundreds of them, but I think TP has cracked the code. This Benedict was to die for. Sapping out the muffin/toast for potato isn’t unique, but it’s rarely done this well. But it’s the sage notes that elevate this. I kind of wish I were hungrier because the baked goods at the front counter look really great too. We only really go here when we’re furniture shopping, but I think we’ll make the detour regardless. The only negative is the ridiculously expensive parking nearby, but as it’s not TP running it, I won’t let it change my rating.

Great brunch! The best ricotta hotcakes, even better than their sister cafes in town. The coffee is soo good, and all their dishes are top notch. Great vibes and service as well.

This cafe is a good! While the food is decent, it's a tad pricey. Yet, the atmosphere is wonderful, perfect for catching up with friends over a quick bite. Customer service is great. The best part? No reservations needed; just stroll in and enjoy! It's the ideal spot for a hassle-free, cozy hangout.
