Stella's Kitchen - Lysterfield, Victoria

Before arriving, we made a reservation for four people and a pram, but the table was too small. It was difficult to leave the pram, and there wasn’t enough space for the food when four people ordered.

When we arrived, we told the manager that the table was too small, but they were unfriendly and seemed too busy with their own. However, the food was so delicious that we would return again.

Excellent Customer Service and very tasty Scones!
My partner and I came here to get scones with jam and cream To-Go one lovely afternoon. The owner/manager asked us to have a seat while waiting for our order. He came over to our table and chatted with us and boy was it the most meaningful and insightful 10 minutes we have had waiting for our order to come. He just gave tips on life and family and about raising kids which was so refreshing since we just had our baby. After our lovely conversation, our scones arrived and he said that the scones were on the house and just wished us a lovely day. We were utterly surprised with his very kind gesture. We will definitely be coming back for a proper meal here. Ohh and the scones were soft and beautiful and the jam and cream was super tasty. Fresh and not too sweet as well.

Thank you sir and more power to your business! ?

Monday night I held a fundraiser at Stella's Kitchen.
I could not have asked for anything more from the time I asked if they could do it to meetings and communiction was great,
The food and staff on the night was spot on. John put together the perfect menu and everyone loved it,
I am sure they will all be back for more,

I had a delightful experience at Stella's Kitchen. The lunch, especially the creamy Garlic prawns and Duck Salad, was superb. The portion sizes were generous, filling us up quickly. The ambiance, both indoors and outdoors, added to the overall charm. The option to purchase fresh produce was a delightful surprise, and the fruits were exceptionally fresh and delicious. Being conveniently located next to Lysterfield Park makes it an ideal spot for a meal followed by a leisurely walk. Can't wait to go back!

The bruschetta was delicious. We ordered more food however looked too good and forgot to take pictures. Great restaurant. We shared the churros (huge plate).

Update 13th oct 2024
The service has dropped. Many people waiting long times for coffee. Not something that is expected on a Sunday morning when they should be prepared for this. Also , even though they had many free tables. Unless you’re eating, you don’t get to sit inside or the orchard facing outside area. Our table stay would have been short. I’m sure they would not have lost customers. In the end we left so they lost us. Plus still empty tables when we left even after waiting over 10 minutes just to get our orders taken.

Stella’s could easily be 5 stars and I think they are working hard on it. I’m sure they will get there soon. My only gripe was insufficient toast with my eggs and charging me $2.20 for the extra unbuttered slice. But a generous serving of eggs. Oh well, I hope they read the review and take notice. Otherwise a great place and setting. Granola was excellent with generous milk serving on the side. I love prana chai which is strong and that is what I got. Great little grocery store attached along with a takeaway cafe. Very nice garden to walk around plus you can go walk off the breakfast around lysterfield lake afterwards. Lysterfield park is close by. All in all I recommend it if you’re close by. A great breakfast place.

This restaurant had amazingly friendly staff and the ambience is fantastic with great decor, the fire place and beautiful views outside. My chai and a takeaway muffin were very tasty, but breakfast bruschetta was very average to say the least. The avocado had some brown spots, the bread was a bit stale, no flavours really present. I really wanted to give this venue 5 stars but food definitely needs some improvement. Such a great spot, I really hope that the quality of food can match it very soon.

What a beautiful establishment - a restaurant, a cafe, a fresh produce & gift store, an orchard, a view & all situated a walk away from Lysterfield lake.
We walked in without a booking & they quickly found us a table. (Lots of outdoor seating)
Great service!
The menu has a variety to choose from, our meals were exceptionally fresh & tasty, packed with flavour.
The? ? juice is a must try, you won’t be disappointed!
Plenty to see outside around the grounds whilst enjoying nature.
Lots of parking & a walk around the Lake is a bonus.
I look forward to going back & trying more of their dishes.
