Rubra On The Swan

Came here because we wanted to have breakfast by the river. A small cafe but very crowded on a friday morning. Service is ok. Eggs benedict - The muffin was TOO hard. Impossible to eat. But spinach, eggs and sauce were ok. Buttermilk pancakes were too dry. Coffee was a little bad. So was a little sad to start our friday morning with a disappointing coffee. Parking was easy on the street. But will definitely not return again.

We were looking for a place with water views and atmosphere and stumbled on Rubra. Sylvie had Herbed Mushrooms on Toast and I had the Crab Croquettes with salad. The meals were outstanding for presentation, taste and size. The lady who served us was efficient and very helpful and friendly. We would recommend coming to Rubra if you're looking for a lovely spot to have a drink or meal. Well done and thank you to the Rubra team

Great location on the water next to the Doubletree hotel and over the road from the Supreme Court gardens. Coffee was good and the bread for the toast was very tasty. The pancakes unfortunately we're not good. They were both dry and quite hard. Needed some force to push the knife through them. Wouldn't discount the place on the pancake fail, but would order something different next time.

Wonderful location and great freshly squeezed juices. That’s about it. Used to visit this place very often for all day breakfast until I’ve noticed the serving sizes started getting smaller and smaller over time. They served me eggs benedict with two tiny slices of bread. I thought they may have run out of bread (?) as it was close to closing time however a few days later the same situation happened. Again my eggs benedict were served with two ridiculously small slices of bread. Ordering two breakfast meals + drinks which was totalling about $70 each time, we were leaving the place semi hungry. That’s definitely not right. Ever since, I avoid this place and support other cafes that actually serve me what I paid for.
