"The service was great, the coffee was really nice and we had the Big Breakfast and everything was perfect on it. The mushroom and tomato had a yummy flavour, very moorish. The other menu items were very appealing as well, it was difficult to choose. Would come back again."

" A Culinary Delight! Our experience at The Chefs Jungle on Lonsdale Street was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy ambience that set the tone for a delightful meal.The smooth coffees were a perfect start, rich in flavour and expertly brewed. We indulged in a variety of dishes that left us thoroughly impressed. The BLT burger was a perfect blend of savoury flavours, with crispy bacon and fresh ingredients that made every bite a treat. The toasty with mushrooms and poached eggs was cooked to perfection, offering a delightful mix of textures and tastes. The egg and bacon toasty was equally satisfying, with a balance of rich, comforting flavours.

A special mention goes to Ashok, the chef, who not only crafted these delicious meals but was also incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our visit. His culinary skills are truly commendable, and his dedication to providing a memorable dining experience shines through in every dish.

The Chefs Jungle is a hidden gem on Lonsdale Street, and we can't recommend it highly enough. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or a hearty meal, you're in for a treat! "
