Meridian Cafe

So much better than the service centre stops, one min extra down the road. Service with a smile, friendly conversation and brilliant burgers they way they should be. Home made cookies. Easy parking. What more do you need. Great place to stop.

A pit stop between Canberra and Sydney. Stopped by after reading the reviews, and the food exceeded our expectations. Burger Lot really has the lot, Hawaiian burger was tasty and left us in a food coma. Delicious food, very friendly staff, cosy interior & clean bathrooms. Definitely recommend this cafe! 👌

We came outta town for a function and this is a go to recommendation. Now i know!! The service is accomodating that I felt sorry to say thank you so many times like a canadian.

There's a lot of display for sale around the store to keep you occupied from waiting for your order and would encourage anyone visiting to give it a short visit.

What a gem in Marulan. A great cafe with friendly staff, a very clean toilet, a little shop with local produce and best of all it had food. The burgers were amazing. The Burger with the Lot was massive and very tasty and priced at a very reasonable price.
Recommended as a stop over along the motorway.

Had a cappuccino - was decent, strong and lots of chockie! Also had a Meridian Roll WITH a scallop on it as standard; BBQ sauce. Bun was soft and sweet, egg was semisolid yolk and flat so no mess. Bacon was cooked but not overdone so plenty of flavour. Scallop was soft like a cloud inside, and crunchy on the outside. Honestly this was perfection - I made the perfect choice. The lovely lady serving was friendly, communicative and moved with German efficiency.

Cafe is clean and has amazing carpet. I had no shoes on and it felt like a velvet doona. There is also a little gift wall, cakes, sandwiches, drinks; they even do SPIDERS! Lots of variety for one little place, and prices are absolutely excellent!

Someone really loves this cute little cafe and I’m giving 5/5 without fear of contradiction.

Fantastic spot to stop for food and a break. Burgers are fresh and tasty. The staff are welcoming and helpful.

What a lovely little surprise on our drive towards Sydney.
Glad we stopped by.
Do try the cream teas.
Disability catered for.
Toilets clean and fresh.

Really great place to go for a nice feed. They have great sandwiches, and there egg and bacon muffin, was fresh and tasty! Totally Recommend. There's also a nice park and a fair bit of history in the town.

Stopped by on my way home picked up a few takeaway coffees, and some lemon meringue pie, and brownies.

Service was excellent, the coffee was really nice, and the lemon meringue, and brownies were on point.

I highly recommend this establishment if you're travelling through. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere in the Cafe. The staff were friendly and very helpful, the coffee was absolutely delicious, the food was also great. I will definitely call in there again as well as recommend this Cafe to my friends.

This is and always will be the best cafe on (or just off) the highway. Great food, value, service and a fantastic place to stretch the legs. Can highly recommend the thickshakes, Caesar sandwich and the Hawaiian chicken burger.

Best lunch I’ve had in a long time. Food was delish, great price and friendly staff. Love the picnic tables and the snack bags. Will most definitely be back. 11/10.

Due to the massive bushfire that went through NSW on the summer of 2020, Murulan and surrounds got affected. My partner and I decided that one of the ways we can help the community is to visit and support local shops.

THE PLACE - We found that Meridian Cafe was a Nice cozy place to have a short pit stop before exploring other areas.

The wall is covered majority with dog photos, an occasional cat, rat (or rabbit) and a lizard (iguana ?). I think it's for fundraising. It is quite cute!

THE FOOD & DRINK - we had the blackboard specials on the day and it was delish! The ice coffee was nice as well. Yes, we will revisit this place again in the future.

FOR FUTURE VISITORS - Ditch the roadside services or McDonalds or KFC or Hungry Jacks. Go off the main highway, and sometimes you'll be really surprised what you will find.

Café by day, Indian restaurant by night

Well the Indian restaurant is no more, along with its quirky decor and walls of dog pictures

As a café it's still as good as you'd wish for on the road. Decent coffee, excellent hamburgers and toasties

Good toilets

And a big, welcoming smile from the staff

(But the main door is automatic and quite sensitive, so it stays open a lot, and the chill Marulan wind whistles around the tables)

When you are in Marulan, get off the highway. It's a no brainer. Not only does one get rewarded by Meridian Cafe's wonderful and sumptuous fare, but one also gets to witness a charming little town with lovely people.

My family and I visited here on our way to Canberra on a frigid morning. The coffee was excellent, brekkie was fresh, wholesome and delicious. The bacon and egg roll is a real winner. Generous portions with freshly made turkish bread. We stopped by here on our way back from Canberra as well.

Great country town cafe. Try the Naked wagyu beef burger with spicy chutney. All burgers available naked, half naked or traditionally with top and bottom buns. Meridian also stock Milk Lab Almond milk and the Vittoria coffee is always great.

Outstanding home made burgers. Not your typical heart-attack burger. Just nice. Kids cheeseburger was awesome too!

Good atmosphere, nice coffee. Good service

Great little stop on our journey through to Warrnambool, amazing food, great service and just a beauty of a cafe to stop in, so much better than the servos. 💗

Amazing burgers, awesome chips, and massive servings for what you pay for. I highly recommend stopping by and trying the Meridian out. 5/5
