Samarco II Cafe Brasserie

Great food. Friendly and efficient staff. We were there for dinner and we were really happy with the service and the quality of food.

I have only had breakfast here not a lunch or dinner so bear that in mind when reading my review. For lunches, they must be doing something right as each time I have walked past near lunch time, the tables are quite full - and often with a large group of Italian men OK, back to breakfast - I had a toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich with coffee. The ham was thickly sliced which was really nice. Sadly the bread was thickly sliced too which made it a bit starchy for me. Still, nice enough. The coffee was far too weak for me - see the picture I took ... one can see there isn't too much colour in the coffee. When I asked whether their coffee was a medium or strong roast the waitress wasn't sure. I think it was a mild roast. However, if you like warm milk with a faint coffee taste then you will enjoy he coffee. Pleasant enough if you're a local.

Lovely food, great service and generous servings. Just delicious, thank you!!!

This place is alway packed so I thought I would give it a try for a quick lunch before school pick up. They have some really good lunch specials at $12 ea, I chose the Morrocan Chicken Melt. It looked and smelt amazing, having viewed it from another diner. When I got the dish, it was CHEESEY to the max which I love, however the Turkish bread that the tomatoey concoction was served on was soaked and soggy in the red oil that often gets produced from a tomato based sauce. I couldn't finish it I wanted to as I felt sick. There were extra things thrown in the sauce also such as egg plant which I don't mind. I was pretty disappointed with the meal and my water glass had lipstick on it. The service was quick, the waitress was mostly attentive. I would give this place a second chance but they need to take note of the little things like cleanliness of glasses, wiping away the fat that we all know is there but don't want to visually see living in blissful ignorance is sometimes better. Coffee smelt good but my wine was on the turn, it was obviously from a bottle that had been opened a few days prior. I really hope this was a one off as I'd like to return, the smells from this place are always great and I rarely see it empty.

What a gem is this eating place. An interesting menu with something for every palate. The service was exceptional. The chairs were comfortable. The food was very well prepared and presented. It is the other side of town to where we live otherwise we would become very regular patrons.

Just excellent, the food was amazing the service exemplary, the staff behind the counter were jovial and informative. I had the Pork Belly and my partner had the Traditional Lasagna, I've had Pork Belly from other restaurants but nothing compares to this, they even managed to make brussel sprouts taste amazing. Honestly if it wasn't a sin to lick the plate....... bottom line this is by far the tastiest meal you will be likely to have for the price, well and truly.

Have been coming here for many years and could not imagine better food or service in Middle Park. The menu is always great, food is 5 star. The service is amazing. A real credit to the owners and their hard work.

Very alluring atmosphere and enticing menu! Garlic bread was evenly toasted and very fragrant. Ordered the parmesan lamb chops. Lamb was perfectly cooked to medium rare, and was very tender. Melted in my mouth. Generous amount of salad with a light tangy dressing. The brownie sundae was unbelievably mouth watering. Littered with strawberries and blueberries, this dessert was a perfect way to finish a heavy dinner. Staff were extremely polite and respectful! A place I would recommend for any occasion.

The food was amazing, way much better than most of the high score cafes, the food size is huge, I am so full and so happy after such a satisfying breakfast and coffee! Highly recommended!!!! Oops, I was busy eating forgot take photos Next time!

Good table service. Arancini starters were amazing. The pork belly is cooked to perfection with crackling skin and hefty portions, but the bbq sauce was overbearingly sweet that I found myself trying to scrape it off the meat as much as possible. My partner ordered a steak with veg and ohhhh my goodness they were seasoned perfectly I found myself wanting to take all his broccolini. I will still be coming back at least once more The risotto looked so amazing that I cannot wait to try it.
