“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So good we ate here [Paragon Cafe] three times in two days. Each time, constantly good service, quick, nice location and reasonable price. Tried the dahl and lamb, both delicious. Also did the breakfast and can recommend the breaky burger, delish. Coffee also great.” – Ben, Google review.

Open 9am to 2.30pm Monday and Tuesday, and 7am to 2.30pm Wednesday through Sunday – for Pioneer Settlement patrons, the local community, and visitors to the region.
