A Beautiful Spot with Great Food & Views
Visited Seven Café in Batemans Bay and it truly lived up to its location — absolutely beautiful setting with great views that made the experience even more enjoyable.
I tried the chilli poached crab eggs and smashed avo, and both dishes were fantastic! Fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The presentation was also spot-on, and the flavours really delivered.
Only small downside was the coffee — I ordered mine with an extra shot, but it still wasn’t quite strong enough for my taste. Not a deal-breaker, but something to note if you’re a strong coffee lover.
Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy a lovely meal.

The location is synonymous with holidays. The outdoor area is ok for couples but the larger tables are indoor. Unfortunately the sound of the blender sounds takes away from the ambiance and is markedly noticeable. … More

Breakfast and coffee are very good. I liked their take on Eggs Benedict. The crispy apple, honey macadamia nuts, rhubarb gel, lemon all worked nicely for me to help cut through the richness of a standard Benny. As a few reviews mention, … More

Leaving this review after several visits over two years. This is one of the best restaurants in the country IMO and I don’t say that lightly.
The staff take pride in what they do, the menu regularly changes with the seasons, which shows a pride that separates the great restaurants from
The not so great. They aren’t scared to take risks, the food is incredible.
T.K will make you the best espresso martini you will get. The cocktails are on par with the food. The view couldn’t be better.
I could not fault ‘Seven’ if I tried.

Absolutely loved having breakfast here with such a beautiful view. We ordered the corn fritters with chilli oil poached eggs, and the portions were very generous with lovely presentation. The only small downside was the watercress garnish on top, which felt a bit overdone and slightly messy. That said, the service was quick, attentive, and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Would definitely come back again!

Disrespectful and confrontational customer service.
We visited this café on Australia Day and ordered coffees, milkshakes for the kids, desserts and main meals.
Drinks and desserts arrived first. Our main meals were delayed for over 25 minutes. We were not informed of any kitchen delay at the time of ordering or while waiting, nor were we asked about the preferred order of serving. We were also not advised that the desserts would be served with ice cream.
As the wait continued, the ice cream almost completely melted. I brought the desserts to the counter and asked staff to keep them in the fridge until our meals arrived.
After we finished our mains, I returned to collect the desserts. The ice cream had fully melted and the desserts were sitting in watery ice cream. One staff member kindly offered to replace the dishes and add fresh ice cream, which resolved the issue.
At that point, another staff member approached me in the middle of the café and began speaking to me in a raised and confrontational manner. She stated that the situation was our fault, criticised my husband’s behaviour while ordering, and insisted that we should have anticipated long delays due to the public holiday — despite the fact that no delay had been communicated to us. This interaction continued publicly, even though the matter had already been resolved.
We fully understand that the café was busy. That was not the issue. The issue was the aggressive and inappropriate way a customer was spoken to, including personal remarks that were unnecessary and humiliating.
This visit was meant to be a special family occasion and instead became a very distressing experience. Busy service does not justify confrontational behaviour towards customers.

Chef is a genius! Really original flavors and everything goes perfectly together. We had the corn fritters which were so fluffy and the chipotle hummus not too spicy - just right. Love the little crunchy flavour bursts of the chilli lime pepitas and crunchy corn. And my husband had the Benny which looked like a work of art! More

A very nice and cosy cafe by the river. The serving sizes were generous and the food was delicious. It does get quite busy but it appears that they take reservations. Lots of parking nearby. We had the halloumi bowl and chili eggs which were superb. My friends also really enjoyed their hot and iced mochas. More
