Such friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere. Would suggest booking on a weekend, can be quite busy! They had run out of breakfast burger buns and replaced mine with a croissant (with permission) and I have literally have been waiting for my next one ever since. So good. Ice coffee is also real nice with a bit of ice cream.

Recently had our wedding reception here. The team did an amazing job at setting the scene, beautifully done tables and atmosphere. The food is by far the most delicious anyone had ever had. The staff are friendly and make sure you're well looked after. Many thanks to Banks Cafe for making our wedding day perfect 🥰 - Julia and Steven

Had a super lunch there. Sight was perfect, welcome was excellent with very friendly and helpful floor staff. Ambience of the place was ideal and not noisy either. Even though it was full. I had the Sou vide octopus leg with charred chorizo, baby fennel and lime emulsion and mandarin salad. My other half had cured ocean trout on rye orange pickled beetroot and vanilla apple purée. Salad of choice to share was summer squash lemon vinaigrette and soft herbs. The whole meal was mouthwatering and we certainly will return very soon.

Lovely venue, pleasant ambience, delicious food and drinks, great menu, and fantastic staff😍 Also pet friendly😊 We ordered Char grilled prawn and Pork porchetta. Beyond of expectations. Both dishes were really delicious💕 We will definitely definitely be back again when we visit Port Macquarie next 💯❤️ Thank you for the beautiful experience. Highly recommended A+++

Warm welcoming staffs and fantastic food.. Potato and zucchini with steak is superb.. Also gnocchi taste delicious!! Great scenery..

The perfect place for breakfast. This is the hidden gem in Port Macquarie.Sitting by the banks of the river, watching the ferry pass by and if your lucky, the heritage boat too. I can't wait for summer afternoons with a Cocktail in hand, here at The Banks Cafe

Wonderful, our Uber driver recommended this place. Delicious, everything worked in this including the hash brown. The bbq was not too sweet. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful food in a beautiful location. Banks has a lovely atmosphere feel and the team are great people. The food was delicious and the menu has great drinks options. A lovely view over the river with open able blinds to suit the temperature. There are also a few tables outside 😀

Attended as a guest at a wedding reception. Open tab bar and finger food. The food was very good. Panko prawns, pork belly pieces, chicken sliders and pork & prawn paella. Bowls of fish and chips, for the little ones, The outlook from the Bank is beautiful across a broad expanse of the Hastings River.

I have been in Port M for 7years. I have been to many many restaurants in this time, the usual tried and true places, the high fliers too. The Banks has delivered to me, tonight, the best meal I have had in Port M! Great service. Great meal. Great location. Hope this helps! Brian

Love this restaurant! Great menu selections, wine choices and excellent service plus a pleasant view!

My partner and I love this place! The owner and staff are so welcoming and you can't beat the location and the food is always fantastic! A must visit in Port Macquarie.

As a Chef and a foodie, I must say good menu. Nothing fancy, simple and balanced. I loved the food and good portion size too. Staffs were very friendly and an ambient environment. Definitely should give a try.

What a wonderful hidden gem this place is. Stunning views over the gorgeous Hastings River, friendly and helpful staff and incredible food that's beautifully presented and tastes amazing. Recommend booking in summer as it gets quite busy.

Hands down my favourite brunch and coffee spot in Port! Always delicious top quality food and coffee! The menu compares easily to brunch spots in Melbourne or Sydney. The staff are so lovely and the interior is beautiful! Lovely spot with great view to also have a great cocktail and dinner on the weekend. Never had a bad meal here. You won't be disappointed!

Great place by the river. Lovely food for brunch with a group of friends. Wait staff are friendly and helpful. Sit on the stools on the veranda if you want to be close to the water.

Great coffee, food & service. Very pleasant views. All up, its hard to beat. Thoroughly recommended!

Beautiful cafe right on the river with lots of outdoor seating under the verandah or under umbrellas. Watch the dolphins swim past as you take in the tranquil surrounds. Food, coffee and service is also great. We had the Avo Toast (+ Haloumi) and B&E roll with a cappuccino and a brewed chai. All delicious and very affordable. Definitely recommend a drive through the canals to BANKS!

One of the best brunch experience I’ve had! The cured trout toast was so refreshing, as well as their fresh tea. The service was top notch as well! Thank you for making our day 💖 Definitely worth the visit and price! Do try their babyccino as well! My nephew LOVED it💖 Imagine a 2yo downing a whole mug of drink under 2min!
