The Nose Bag - Reservar una mesa

Our visit to The Nose Bag at Sandy Bay on a busy Sunday afternoon was just plain bad! Other nearby shops and cafes were busy but The Nose Bag was virtually deserted, and now we know why. We walked in and the whole place looked daggy and untidy but we persisted when we now wished we had just turned around and walked out. The waitress was friendly and welcoming but that was the only nice thing during our experience. There were no prices on any of the cakes or slices so we chose some food and ordered coffee. My partner's cappuccino was just dreadful. It tasted burnt, there was no crema, and the froth was all bubbly and there was too much of it. Half of it was left in the cup as it wasn't worth drinking. There were even more shocks to come. We went to the counter to pay and said we would use paypass / paywave. I noticed the amount on the EFTPOS machine was 90 cents higher than the amount the waitress had asked me to pay. I questioned this and she said it was a credit card surcharge. WHAT A RIPOFF !!! We were not advised about this surcharge. The waitress had just entered the higher amount into the machine without telling us and this was immediately after she verbally quoted the lower amount to our faces. This place needs to be shut down. Do not visit !! We are not being nasty. Most of our tripadvisor reviews are excellent or very good but certainly not this time.

Another visit and the superbly prepared scallops for my wife and bacon, eggs and mushrooms for me topped off by coffee (no sugar) makes for a relaxing lunch. The thin crisp bacon was a new experience for me and the mushrooms the best I have been served. The view of the River Derwent from our corner table, that is in much demand from the Sandy Bay locals, is our choice for our next visit. It is noteworthy that a large proportion of the customers are regulars and on first name basis with the owners, a sure sign that it is good value and consistent good quality.

Do not eat here. My partner and I stopped for fish and chips. I had the $9 take away special (otherwise $22 eat in). The chips were oily and VERY FEW and the fish seemed like it had been reheated after being bought at the supermarket. My partner just wanted chips ($6) the smallest and oiliest portion of chips you can imagine. We also got milkshake/ice chocolate each. Small and not satisfying and not very cold. My advice is to look elsewhere.

Dropped in for coffee and some lunch. Found the menu uninspiring and pedestrian. Perhaps I was just having an off day. There are only so many things you can do with a croissant and extra cheese. The menu states some of their items are only available at The Nose Bag.They didn't seem that special to me.
