A nice cosy little restaurant with an amazing menu and good service. Expect to pay only half as much as you would expect if this place was in a more central location.
3. Swedish Tarts

This is a very popular patisserie managed by Swedish owners. A very busy restaurant near the beach that specialises in breakfast, brunch and lunches.

lovely light meals and the most amazing cupcakes. A great variety of teas as well as great coffee.

In my last review I had it as 'hit and miss' and average, but the standard has certainly slipped lately. There's one male staff member out the front who seems friendly and tries to help out, but most of the other staff members I've encountered can be rude. The cafe has 'rules' about not swapping or changing menu items, so good luck if you've got an allergy or special need that **should** be catered for with a simple swap to something else they already have.
I ate there a few times when on a recent trip, expecting the service to improve (maybe they just had a bad day, right? Well, apparently it's just how things are now).
Almost everything I tried from their new menu was a bit tasteless. Sounded great when Reading the menu but then was disappointing.
The napkin stinginess continues which is very frustrating as several times the coffee or drinks come out already a bit spilled, and the tables often haven't been wiped - I usually use my rationing of napkins before my meal comes out.
Things went especially downhill during busier times - ok I get it, busy cafes get busy, but honestly, it's when they make most of their money and why have that many tables if you can't offer people decent service?

Reviewed By Steven V - Desborough, United Kingdom
We were visiting Australia from late December 2017 to late January 2018, during this time we ate out at many restaurants and pubs, took drinks in a host of pubs and cafes and visited many attractions. We visited the Birkenhead on our very first night in Australia and despite being very tired, we had a great time... Food was served quickly by pleasant staff, everything came out together and was well presented... A nice surprise since my last visit 4 years earlier was a list of craft beers available... A bottle of White Rabbit dark ale went very nicely with a plate of Salt & Pepper Squid.

Unpretentious, casual and friendly with great views over Semaphore beach. And that's before the food arrives. There's a small but diverse selection of "to share" dishes which never disappoint. The spare ribs are succulent while the zucchini flowers tempura style were magic. A very good wine list for this type of restaurant. A great way to spend the afternoon.

Takeaway outlet. Amazing Fish & Chips, Seafood, Hamburgers, Steak Sandwiches, Yiros, Hot Dogs, Snacks and Drinks. Our chips are fresh cut daily and cooked the old fashioned way. Open 7 days per week
Reviewed By MICHAEL P - Port Adelaide, Australia
My partner ordered a small portion of chips, 1x fried butter fish and 1x grilled fish and 2 tartare sauce. We sat on the beach at Semaphore and what a surprise we got when opening the paper to see mangled, small dried pieces of fish which looked like it had been cooked in our 38 degree heat today. The chips looked like they had been scrapped from the bottom of the oil dish and NO tartare sauce . Never again will we ever order from that fish shop especially when we paid $21.00 for that poor quality food.They should be ashamed of themselves.

Been here a few times & never disappointed. Chose the venue to celebrate a special birthday. Table for 12 on the deck. Was laid out beautifully. BYO $15 to enjoy my champagnes. Shared 3x Drinkers Platter. More than enough for all of us. Great selection & so tasty. Main meals were all delicious. Thank you Shelly, Shannon & Katie to help make this day absolutely fantastic.

Despite living not far from this pub we had never taken the opportunity to visit. What a great surprise. Excellent venue, nice balanced menu with very reasonable prices. The service was laid back and friendly...just right There are some nice event options, we booked into their cellar before one before leaving. A little gem !!!
