Cafe Review: Live Fast Cafe

Location: Halls Gap, Victoria 

Last weekend I headed back to my hometown of Horsham, Victoria to visit friends and family.

No trip home in my opinion is complete without a trip to Halls Gap in the Grampians (aprox a 1 hr drive). If you haven’t heard of the Grampians, it is a national park famous for its rock climbing and beautiful views and waterfalls. Nested in amongst the mountains is the humble little town called Halls Gap. With a population of only 430, the town relies heavily on tourism from visitors around the globe.

The Pinnacle walk and lookout is one of the most popular walks in the Grampians. The walk is 21.km and takes just over an hour. If you’re feeling extra adventurous you extend the walk by starting from the Halls Gap caravan park, which is just shy of 10km.

I met up with my friends Eliza & Eloise who had driven down from Melbourne and we decided to take on the pinnacle walk starting at the ‘Wonderland Carpark’, 2.1km from the top. The walk can be tough at times, with various rock paths to negotiate an a fair incline, but a-lot of the walk is simply a picturesque stroll through some of the most beautiful scenery Victoria has to offer. 

Once you’re at the top you’re met with one of the most breathe taking views: 

After all that walking we had worked up quite an appetite and decided to head into Halls Gap for a late lunch.

After checking out a few of the cafe’s around we settled on the Live Fast Cafe. The cafe was cute & quaint, with an array of local produce for sale - jams, mt. zero salt, olives and coffee.

We were so hungry after our climb we barely read the menu. I quickly settled on the smashed avocado, although I was a little concerned about how it would compare to a Melbourne made one.

Well- my worries soon disappeared when I was presented with this absolute beauty:

It was one of the freshest tasting smashed avocados I’ve ever had! The beetroot chips were a fun twist that paired amazingly with the smooth and salty feta crumbled across the plate. The Gluten Free bread was delicious and toasted perfectly. The dish was dusted with locally made Dukkah which elevated the dish to another level.

If you ever head to the Grampians (which I highly recommend you do!) go and see the amazing staff at the Live Fast Cafe! Grab a coffee, some lunch or even a wine & cheese platter!

Final Rating: 

Tasty-ness 5/5

Good Looking-ness 4/5

Gluten free bread-ness 3.5/5

Cafe cool-ness 4/5

How much $$$?

$18.00 (was $1 extra for GF bread)

Thanks for the special farewell, #cockatoos of #hallsgap! We had a great time. Following photos document our drive en route. First stop Ararat for #coffee and pastry at the Vines cafe that’s obviously had many loyal customers over the years, then onwards to the charming Beaufort, where i bought a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle for $3 (missing 3 pieces) before we continued on to Ballarat. It’s been a strange day, weather wise. Blisteringly cold and windy in Beaufort! #roadtrip (at Awonga Holiday Cottages) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKDksMzjBUg/?igshid=9xgvxynzy7dh
