What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
August The Old Place is praised for its delicious, homemade dishes and charming courtyard atmosphere, complemented by attentive service. However, some diners find the prices high for the portion sizes and note that coffee can sometimes be lukewarm or burnt, and certain dishes like raisin toast may be disappointing. There are also mentions of longer wait times for food during peak periods.
"My dear friend Sarah who is visiting from Spain and I ate at this amazing restaurant for the first time. The service, food, nutrition and the atmosphere, all 100 out of 100. You have to come and experience with pleasing staff and great obliging chef. I’ll be coming back for sure!"

"The service and atmosphere here are incredible. I was given cold water on arrival as well as a cute little personal salt flake dispenser, the service was friendly and quick, and all requests carefully were catered for. And what a gorgeous little courtyard! The food was great quality. Can't recommend this place more."
Emma Naomi
"Cute place and lovely to sit outside in the sun. Service was good and relatively quick.. coffee was a bit weak and carrot cake was tiny for the almost $10 price. It was nice, but I left thinking how much it was for how little it was rather than how nice it was. Muffin was nice also.."
