Dear Valued Customer
We would like to welcome you to Café Va Bene and thank you for letting us be apart of your day. Enclosed in this booklet
you will find our new 2013 Menu. This menu has been designed in such a way to highlight the great advantage we have
living in South Australia home to some of the world’s most sought after Premium Seafood, Meats, Wine and Produce.
Being associated with preserved and sustainable regions such as Port Lincoln, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide Hills and
Barossa Valley it is no wonder our food and wine is the envy of the World.
Café Va Benes advantage upon the rest is that the parent company in which owns Cafe Va Bene also owns Red Lion
Australia which is a premium export firm of South Australia’s most sort after Food and Beverages. This bridge enables us
to share with the customers of Café Va Bene our South Australian premium food and wines from our clean environment
typically associated with niche export markets.
As patriotic South Australian’s we feel it essential to support all locally produced products rather than purchase the
lesser quality produce from offshore, which is an unfortunate trend nowadays in other establishments. The connection
between Café Va Bene and Red Lion Australia enables us to share our local premium quality products to our Valued
Customers at affordable prices whilst still supporting the local economy. Helping South Australians to consume products
from our own back yard is our passion. We are proud to announce Café Va Bene is now the name associated with
bringing South Australia straight to your plate.
In conclusion we hope you enjoy your experience at Café Va Bene and we ask you to please make yourself at home and do
not hesitate to wave us down for assistance at anytime.
Yours Sincerely
The Team at Café Va Bene
