Cortado, restaurant bar & cafe, located in Central Picton, offers European Continental Cuisine. Winner of a 2013 Tripadvisor Business Excellence Award!
16th March 2010 This is a gorgeous corner cafe, with an even more gorgeous view of the harbour. We ate lunch here on an outside table while waiting for the connection between the Interislander Ferry & the Transcoastal Train. The waitress could not have been more helpful (we explained we had a train to catch - and bingo - exceptionally fast service!). I had the most memorable scallops - cooked to absolute perfection, so fresh, and with wonderful flavour, as was the salad accompanying them. Good food, good wine, good view, blue sky & sunshine (I am sure they were responsible for that too ;-) Thanks Cafe Cortado!

14th March 2013 I'm sorry to say that the food at this resaturant was extremley poor to say they charge mid-high prices. I had seafood chowder to start which i must say consisted of 1 shrimp, and a couple of scraps of fish floating around in it, very different to the seafood chowder i would normally recieve, my husband had scallops which were actually ok. Our mains came out i had ordered pallea, the mussels were not washed propally still had the beard on them and bassically i had boiled rice in front of me with mixed veg thrown in, my hubands had fish on a bed of risotto which was sat swimming in Olive oil, i think the girl knew as she came over and asked if everything was ok with the meals, we could'nt eat it and had to complain. The girl was really nice about it and didn't make us pay for our main meal but i have to say we would never eat there again.

31st August 2012 Unfortunately, the star and a half, go entirely to the look of the venue. The room temperature pasta I was served, was drowned in canned tomato pasta sauce, and was lightly sprinkled with pieces of seafood. I must admit, the beard was gone from the mussels ( huge pet hate of mine ) and seafood was cooked well, and not chewy. While dining with my husband however, we had to endure, staff talking to each other, from opposing ends of the restaurant. On a multitude of conversation topics. Not really the dining entertainment I was hoping for. Fingers crossed it was new staff.

11th February 2012 The best pizza in Picton, great atmosphere, very friendly,knowledgeable staff, but mind the seagulls in the outdoor seating area, this is Picton and you are by the beach and a spectacular view. Though indoor tables should be cleaned more often. Ideal family restaurant.

17th March 2010 Just wondering why you guys arent on tripadvisor.com? We have just got back
from NZ
and I was doing my reviews of hotels & restaurants. We had the most
beautiful lunch
at your cafe & I was going to give you a good review because your food &
service
deserved it, so I grabbed your business card on the way out the door,
but cant seem to find you anywhere on tripadvisor.
Perhaps you should apply? Just a suggestion. Or maybe you have changed
your name?
