Herald Sun Stephen Downes, 1-07-08 Score: ** "Part-cafe, part-bistro, Arcadia has a warm feel with dark-stained panelling and ornate Victorian cornices on the ceiling"

Herald Sun Dining Out, Stephen Downes, 24-07-07 Score: 12/20 "Part-cafe, part-bistro, Arcadia has a lot to do with feel. You will eat cheaply here, and the cooking will vary from average to good. The wine list is limited but representative of grape varieties and fairly well priced. House bottles are cheap, and six table whites and four reds are sold by glass. It uses paper napkins and mostly charges for bread."

The Age Matt Preston, 23-4-2007 "When Arcadia's timber venetians tilted at the start of the year they revealed an interior of dark-stained, high-wainscot panelling running to emerald green walls and quaint antique chandeliers that look like they were modelled on those that lit a Parisian cafe-concert of La Belle Epoque. With unclothed furniture, polished wood floors and paper napkins, Arcadia shares the cost-saving approach of those popularist Parisian leisure palaces - so most mains hover about $22."
