Really nice and helpful staff, good & knowledgeable about dietary requirements, gluten/dairy free etc, prices are reasonable for portions too, would highly recommend the lounge breakfast

An old pub converted into a cafe and coffee lounge, but still with an alcohol license: brilliant idea. Our food was amazing, staff were friendly and completely chilled out and not too expensive. Would be an easy place to spend a few hours in especially if you got into playing some of their board games. Oh it’s also dog friendly.

Wonderful space. Went on a Monday night for their quiz and it has a lovely, cozy feeling as well as being very fun! The staff members were really friendly and the food was good. Great for uni students but also locals and anyone visiting winton

All the staff here are super friendly and the service for food and drinks was fast . We only had a small amount of food being the calamari, meatball marinara and whipped fetta with pitta bread . The calamari was decent , the meatball marinara was slightly flavourless but the whipped feta was honestly so good that I could have a massive bowl of it so I would definitely recommend that . Conto lounge is also dog friendly which is a bonus for me . Just been again recently and I recommend the mini pulled brisket chilli and the grapefruit margarita.

Food was amazing, staff were great. The atmosphere is lovely it was just quite loud today, but it was busy, so that can't be helped. Service was fast! Which is amazing. Very happy, thank you very much. It was my first time having the Breakfast Quesadilla and it was incredible! Highly recommended!

This lounge is part of a chain of lounges up and down the country The lounge has a relaxing feel, helped by the unique decor and pictures and ornament on the wall. The mismatched and different types of furniture, chairs and tables, is what makes these lunges so unique and special. Staff do not wear uniform which adds to the relaxed nature of this venue The Conto Lounge is a large venue with plenty of seating, both inside and out. The staff anf very helpful and friendly.

The food was sooo delicious and bustling with flavour. A lot of it came with sauces that were very good and elevated it so much, 10/10 experience!!! Outdoor seating was breezy and pleasant
