On Friday it was Belle’s Beau’s Big Birthday Bash. So to celebrate we all went out for a rather special dinner to our new favourite secret restaurant which unknown to us is quite the institution (which we are about to share with you).

Cafe Mueller.

So its a little off the beaten track in Midland but well worth the drive out there for those not fortunate to live close to it.  From the street, nestled rather unassumingly amongst a bunch of other houses, Cafe Mueller is a rather shy little place only recognisable by it’s red fence and little path leading up to an open front door. Once inside you are confronted by a pastiche of all the treasures acquired (insert: Creepy Cabbage Patch Doll, Dining Mannequins, fake ice-cream sundaes, giant painting of Kathryn Hepburn) by the quirky pair of Germans who own the place and have run it for 20 years.

German Polka music is heard throughout the maze of rooms where you can sit and dine on what can only be called “Real Comfort Food” which is served in a most casual fashion. The owner will even let you roam around the place into his own art studio out the back.

Be warned though, do not go as a large group if you’re not one for sitting in close proximity with your companion diners or if you are into a more fine dining, this is not a place for you, but we strongly recommend giving it a try at least once.

After shuffling around a few of the tables and getting comfortable touching knees with the people next to us we were served our dinner. The place rotates through several 3 course menus of which only one is available on each night; We loved it as it took the decision making out of the equation, however if you have any special dietary needs, call up before hand to find out whats on offer. What was also good was that we didn’t have to share any of our lovely food with anyone else. But we were served an amazing rich beef and vegetable soup, schnitzel with cold potato salad and shredded green salad with devilish creamy dressing. To finish. Well. Only the best baked cheesecake you’ve ever eaten. EVER EATEN! Also on the upside, you can take as much wine in as you can carry!

An amazing night was had by all. Although it did get rather jolly by the end of the night – the owners were even quite happy for a big sing along when a friend started playing the painfully out of tune piano in the main dining room.

Cafe Mueller is a venue that we will be frequenting for many years to come.  You’ll find it at 12 William St, Midland, open Thursday until Sunday from 6.30pm until midnight - 9250 1661
