Cafe Assiette is situated in an historic stone building, on a corner, half way up the main street. The interior is comprised of three separate rooms with three fireplaces, creating a cosy cheerful ambience. Walls are predominately buttery cream with several feature walls of burgundy with light-shades to match. The back room has one whole wall of written messages called, "The German Message Wall", prints and framed photographs adorn the other walls, these are for sale.

The floors are predominately pale natural wood, with the back room having carpet, large barrels, pitchers and tree branches give a lovely rustic character to the decor. An Al fresco dining verandah, sheltered by shade giving trees is ideal on hot sunny days.

From a very large and varied menu from light lunches, through to hearty traditional German fare, we had, German Pork Belly, a slow braised pork belly in cashew and apple sauce served with mash and sauerkraut and green salad, a Lamb Shank French daub style, a tender, slow roasted lamb shank served on a bed of mash with salad, both of these dishes were a generous size and very delicious.

At the entrance is a sign, "The best coffee in Harndorf" we would agree. Our taste buds were also enticed by the range of tantalizing cakes at the counter. The service was excellent, we were surprised how quickly our meals were served, altogether a delightful lunch, by an open fire, on a cold day, perfect.

The waiters and waitresses were lovely and helpful but the food was a bit questionable as were the prices. They also need to change the menus! Was a bit disappointed when there was no alcohol or pizza!

Worst service ever we ordered for four and saw nothing on the table for an hour went back to the service desk and found out that they forgot our order and the apology wasn't apologetic. Could have been just a bad day for us.

Brilliant food. Really friendly service. Its casual atmosphere makes the Assiette the perfect place to catch up with friends for a meal.

Holiday in Hahndorf! Today I came to this fantastic restaurant and my partner chose the French style lamb shanks and he had a sensational experience. The flavours were so rich and flavorful. We shared a bruschetta, which put a great start our meal. I ate the barramundi lemon which was very nice, cooked to perfection in a wine cream sauce.

The staff were very attentive and always checking on customers with a big smile. Thanks to this, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to this cafe!

If Gordon Ramsay went here he would Rightly Shut it down. Poor service, inedible food that looked like it had been cooked in a dirty pan. I had to argue the point to get half of the money back we paid for a breakfast we just could not eat. Do yourself a Favour, just walk on by and head up the road to somewhere else that hits the other end of the Review Scale.

We went to Cafe Assiette for tea. I ordered scones and coffee. the scones was nice and came with fresh cream and jam. the scones were a bit too fluffy but was nice. The had a banner in the front of the cafe saying 'the best coffee'. I had a muggacino and it was nice. Quite strong and flavourful.

Would be a great help if the kitchen staff and waitress actually spoke and understood english, they got 3 out of 5 dishes wrong, what came out was nothing like it was listed on the menu, very disappointing

We chose this place purely by chance. We had a huge and scrumptious meal. Even though it was only mid morning the staff were able to supply us with a delicious meal of quiche, salad and chips.
