Mietta's Review
The centre of the Strathbogie Ranges is hardly the place you'd expect to find a city folks' produce store with all the country trimmings they'd demand - local produce, wines and cafe food using all of the above. Good coffee and minimal cooking at this charming stop on the way to nowhere.

Other published opinions

Age Good Food Guide 2008 "In an oasis of calm, it's easy to lose track of time at Ruffy's"

The Age Good Food Guide 2006 "Unwinding locals, fully unwound dogs, and country produce galore greet visitors to this friendly oasis of good food in the heart of the Strathbogie Ranges. The former general store and fish and chip shop is the perfect spot to prepare for your mountain hike."

The Age Good Food Guide 2005 "KICK back on the umbrella-shaded lawn at this isolated haven. Read the papers over a ham and gruyere toastie and good coffee, or soak up the silence"
