Most Disliked
While Harbour Rest Cafe is appreciated for its food and ambiance, some guests mention the peak hours can lead to crowding. This can detract from the cozy experience many seek, especially on busy Fridays. A few patrons have noted that the cafe can get quite hectic during lunchtime, occasionally impacting service speed. Some diners wish for more vegetarian options on the menu, as the existing selection is somewhat limited compared to other offerings. Additionally, the lack of dinner service may disappoint those hoping to enjoy a full day of dining at this charming cafe. Lastly, some visitors mention the pricing, although generally reasonable, may not fit all budget types for larger groups. Overall, these concerns are minor against the plethora of positives this cafe delivers.

Excellent food and value. Visited for lunch with family. We all wanted Crab Sandwiches but unfortunately there was only enough for one of us. Never mind, we ordered Pasty and Chips, Salmon Sandwich and a BLT instead. All of the food was delicious. Great service as always. Highly recommended.
