The Downward Dog Cafe & Restaurant

Delicious clean food with a delightful garden setting, in a quaint little town!

Love the funky setting - can choose a range of tables and chairs, or sit on the couch and read a book while you have a cocktail! Board games and trivia cards are a nice addition to some of the tables. Room for small or large groups.Great range of drinks. Fresh and healthy selection of meals available, though nothing cheap and simple if that's what you're looking for.

We had a nice visit here. The food and drink were good and this place is dog friendly and child friendly. We bought an adult fish and chips for the youngest kids and halved it between them which worked well.The burger buns were more like a toasted bakery bought bun than a commercial one, and the chutney was lovely.They forgot two separate orders from our large group so we were there substantially longer than we would have otherwise been, but we enjoyed sitting in the garden where there were plenty of interesting things to look at. They brought out the meals fairly quickly once they had realised they had been forgotten.The prices were very reasonable and the serving staff were friendly and helpful.There are well maintained bathrooms and a lovely courtyard out the back, as well as shady open-air dining in the garden under the trees.We will be back.

Enjoyed great Almond Capuccino here, and decided to try their Vegan Loaf/ Slice with Maple Syrup. Usually cafes have commercially brought in vegan sweets which are average.Not here, this house made Slice did not disappoint. Even my non-vegan sister enjoyed it.There seemed to be a good variety of other sweets and savoury food available too.Local or travelling it's worth popping in to here for a cuppa and snack.Ordering is at counter, then food brought to table.

I Love this place, reasonable prices, the food is AMAZING fresh and delicious and their cocktail list is YUMMMMY annnnd Art Classes, Live Music, Exhibitions all amazing events, cant wait for the next one!

One of the best cafes in the area. The menu is diverse and interesting. All the food is made with fresh ingredients on the premises - lots of options for vegans too.

Recommend sitting out the back in a glorious peaceful garden courtyard enjoying good coffee, pot of chai tea topped off with Megan's quirky artwork.

Dropped in for a Sunday lunch passing through. Vegan options were tasty, coffee was ok and they have plenty of seating options including a beautiful garden to sit in out the back. It'd be awesome to see this place pumping with people but it had quite a low vibe unfortunately saved by the beautiful setting and sunshine to enjoy a few veggie showcasing curries.

Great little cafe in Bodalla, nice food and atmosphere.

Buddha Bowl and a Berry Smoothie at The Downward Dog Cafe, Bodalla. Glad I dropped in!Visit number two had me gazing around even more than last time. Maybe it helps with mindfulness... Anyway Buddha Bowl number two went down well, as did the mango/pineapple smoothie.
