The Long Paddock

If you happen to be planning a trip near Lindenow I strongly suggest you make a lunch booking at the Long Paddock. My wife and I happened to be driving by on a road trip and we were overwhelmed by the delightful offerings of this cafe. I can thoroughly vouch for the pie which was amazing and the toastie which at first glance sounded like a standard toastie but was far from that! It was delicious. Dessert was excellent. The place was packed obviously the word about great cake has spread! Bake it and they will come! The service was super friendly and the atmosphere very laid back. All in all a wonderful experience. So make a U-turn (safely of course) or plan a trip to this delight.

Food was great. Better to make reservation before you go. Staff were helpful and food came out really fast even it was a busy day.

5/5 Great place Great Food Great Staff Clean cosy old school restaurant Had Brisket, gnocchi, chocolate pudding, Ice cream sandwich, cheesecake and lemon juice. Everything was perfect. Someone recommended the place to us and It was a HIT. Last but not least staff was so friendly, polite and had smiles on their face. THANK YOU

Amazing lunch, one of the best lamb pies I’ve eaten. The desserts were delicious, we had to take a few to go! It’s fantastic that a place like this exists in Gippsland! I can’t wait to return.

The scones are some of the best I have ever had! Services was spectacular and genuine, felt welcome. The place its self is so quaint and wholesome, music was a banger!

First time here today, the meals are different and just so good, I had the lamb neck, and the flavour was wonderful and so tender that the lamb melted in my mouth, I got to try the pie and it was just gorgeous, the service is some of the best I have ever had, staff knew the the menu well and there happy to modify the for vegetarians. There's a counter straight in front you full of some fantastic and interesting deserts. I highly recommended this place for a visit for lunch or dinner, you certainly won't be disappointed. Well done Guys

This beautiful cafe was the highlight of our trip to the area - it’s definitely worth a short detour via Lindenow. Service is so friendly and warm and genuinely welcoming. Tables out front are perfect- fresh air, shaded, and offer a view of green fields and of local life in this tiny hamlet. Lots of tables are available inside too. The food menu is the star of the show - uniquely creative dishes which not only look gorgeous but are packed full of flavour. And make sure you try one of the sensational sweet treats on display in the glass cabinets - you won’t regret it! Great coffee too. Highly recommended.

This was an unexpected delight. The food was fantastic, first the mains but then watch out for the deserts! Not your standard menu at all. Very friendly service, the woman who served us recommended the O’Leary Walker Doctors Cut Riesling and it was very good indeed. And we loved the atmosphere of the place as well. Given it was raining and windy, it could have been a little warmer, but that’s being picky! We loved it and when back in East Gippsland we will definitely be back here.

Ordered: 2 pies (turkey), Gnocchi, Lemon Tart, glass of Shiraz & bottle of Fifty Lashes. Wanted to eat more......... Great service, relaxed and friendly environment in the middle of nowhere. Can't wait to go back!!

Delicious food and great friendly service. We had a meat pie with turkey with pork stuffing, sage and cranberry. The meat was juicy and the crust just a perfect mix of buttery and crispy. We had gnocchi as well, which was excellent. The desserts all look fantastic but we chose the lemon tart. It had the lightest custard I've ever tried. And a very good coffee too. Best meal we had in three days in and around Bairnsdale.
