Sheaering red – Dudley Wines
Shiraz
This approachable blend of Shiraz Cabernet Merlot presents aromas of stewed plums and spicy fruitcake on the nose. It has a well-structured palate with fine long tannins and hints of rum and raisin chocolate, finishing with generosity and softness.

Shiraz
The Red 2017 is made from 100% elegant cool-climate Shiraz. One the nose there’s notes of pepper, eucalyptus, toasted vanilla. On the palatte it’s seriously tasty with flavours in the mulberry and red fruit spectrum, a hint of charry oak and slightly gamey notes working beautifully with the fleshy fruit. It has a generous round mouthfeel leading to a lingering finish.

Delightful suprise Visiting from out of town and was dying for some good food. This place was fantastic. Excellent staff and service. Very vegan/vegetarian friendly. Staff very helpful. Pasta was ace. Highly recommend this place. 
Amyb22222
extremely nice food & great service Ate here twice during a four night stay. Had lamb and steak first visit and both dishes were delightful. Pizzas and the tasting plate second time and same again. Both times the staff were excellent, efficient, pleasant and very nice to deal with. Would recommend a booking but we were fitted in the 2nd night with no problems. Great little café, priced well. chris - Fantastic food Had the lasagna,canneloni and pizza. Great taste and obviously home made. Great coffee and lovely friendly staff Worldtraveller146Superb food in a cozy setting What a gem. We ate two dinners and a lunch here during a three day stay. Every dish was thoughtfully designed with the freshest ingredients and cooked with skill and care. The staff are warm and helpful. mrpicky65
- Toasted sandwich & crunchy chips We were hungry. Most places shut down on Saturday so we ventured inside. Welcoming & great value. If you like chips, these were the best. Crunchy with salt & a good, very large cup of coffee. Carolnym05Eating out in Kingscote We have been to Bella on a few occasions now. Previously buying a lunch with the most awesome combinations of flavours. So healthy and every mouthful a delight. Today we had a quicker lunch of the hamburger and I would have to say the absolute best you can get anywhere Bella is a must for a meal while in Kingscote on Kangaroo island LemonTreeCottage
- One nice pizza All thought only a small eating space, (you need to book early), I was not able to sit in. But still pizza only tables outside. And boy, what a pizza it was. A must try place for a meal on Kangaroo Island. PhilipDelicious food We ate here twice while in Kingscote, trying the chicken and haloumi salad, burger, Beef cheek ragu and meat lovers pizza. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food arrived promptly and was well presented. In particular my chicken and haloumi salad and beef cheek ragu were very good. Maree
- Excellent Food We were staying at the Seaside Inn, but their dining room was closed for a tour group so we drove into town. It was a few minutes before 6 and their dining room opened at six so we made a reservation. It was a good thing we did as the facility is small and it filled up shortly after we got there. The food was excellent. the service was a little slow as there was only one waitress, but she was very pleasant and did her best to accommodate everyone. I would definitely recommend the restaurant. 372jerrylNice A great place to have lunch. A great selection of food at reasonable prices. Service is excellent and value for money. Mr.
- pizza pizza pizza lovely pizza's and pizza deals also have a lovely dining area and great meals at reasonable prices. locals love this place TammyVery good food. An unassuming restaurant/café in Kingscote, but the food we had (prawns and chicken) were really excellent. Recommended! Axiomwatson
- Great Burgers, Great Customer Service Came in for a some lunch and both had the burgers. Was great! Customer service was on point and if we found ourselves back in Kingscote we would return.
Thanks for lunch! MatthewIsTheNameGreat food and nice service We had dinner at Bella cafe. There was a good variety of comfort food. Just what we needed after a full day’s sightseeing at Kangaroo Island. Food was made with the heart and the staff was nice and professional. Thanks Bella Cafe. CStOnTour - Good pizza Pizza was good; wait time was appropriate/as expected; had take-away.
Tourists - just remember that food options can be limited or overwhelmed on KI, and places close earlier than many of us are used to. Remember to plan ahead/go early. (I’m embarrassed by the number of reviewers that don’t seem to understand/respect that.) SallyGolightly884Simple but nice Italian cafe Simple but fresh, fairly testy food. Decent choice of wines. Convenient location and opening lunch hours. Very friendly and efficient service. All of it made Bella the best choice among 3 cafes we managed to visit during our 3 days stay in KI Sergey_Anicca
