Review #15 - Zeps Cafe

Sunday April 11, 2010
Zeps Cafe
Campbell Town, Tasmania


We've been to the north of Tasmania, and we've had plenty of meals in the south, but this time we stopped in the middle to enjoy a lunch at Zeps in Campbell Town. I ordered a steak sandwich, while Julianne ordered...wait for it...a Caesar Salad.

I did manage to snap a pic of the Caesar Salad in question, so here it is:


How did it taste? As Julianne put it, "the egg and the bacon were really good. The rest of it...was of a bit...meh." So she gave it 2 out of 4.

The ingredients were a standard affair: no chicken, anchovies or croutons. The lettuce was a little old, and the cheese was cheap. Julianne had a nasty suspicion the "home-made" dressing had a lot of cream in it, leaving Julianne feeling a bit "blurgh". 1½ out of 3.

Presentation was "a little ho hum". It wasn't the most appealing of Caesar Salads, but we have seen worse. ½ out of 1.

So we've got "meh", "blurgh", and "ho hum" so far. Let's see if things can improve with our last two categories.

Julianne did give 1 out of 1 mark for service, so there's a plus. This despite the waitress, when asked if the dressing was gluten free, replying "No - it has egg in it."

At $13, it wasn't the best value for money ever, but it was still in the realm of decent, so 1 out of 1 for value.

That, unfortunately, leaves the Caesar Salad at Zeps tied for last on our score list with a score of 6 out of 10.

So a little disappointing there, but Campbell Town is still worth a stop over on your way north or south across Tasmania, especially for the lolly and ice cream shop that is quite accurately named A Little Piece of Heaven.

Score Summary

Ingredients: 1.5
