Dorking’s culinary landscape has seen a delightful new addition in the last nine months: Redmoon Cafe. While a pang of nostalgia might linger for the closure of the beloved (and increasingly rare) Wimpy that once occupied this spot, Redmoon Cafe has truly transformed the space, offering a fresh and inviting experience that quickly makes you forget what was there before.

Nestled in a quieter stretch of the high street, slightly removed from the cluster of other eateries, Redmoon Cafe shines brightly, drawing you in with its warm and welcoming ambiance. The recent remodel has only enhanced its charm, making it a truly lovely spot to unwind. Inside, the decor strikes a perfect balance between modern simplicity and cozy comfort, with natural light flooding in, creating an airy and relaxed atmosphere perfect for a leisurely brunch or a quick coffee break. There’s a mix of comfortable seating, from intimate tables to larger communal spots, catering to different preferences.

Having visited a few times now, I can confidently say that Redmoon Cafe consistently delivers on all fronts. The food is, without exception, excellent, the staff are genuinely warm and friendly, and the overall experience is simply delightful. (And yes, for those who appreciate the little details, the facilities are impeccably clean!) Considering the high quality of ingredients and the generous portions, the pricing offers excellent value for money, making it an accessible treat.

What truly sets Redmoon Cafe apart is their unwavering commitment to quality. Their dishes are always fresh, light, and bursting with flavour. I recall an instance where we even received an apology because they didn’t have their “best” kind of eggs for poaching for the Redmoon Toast. The eggs, despite the apology, were still absolutely excellent – a testament to how seriously they take their ingredients and preparation.

Now, let’s talk about the stars of the menu:

• Turkish Breakfast: A definite must-try! Who could resist the creamy hummus, the perfectly spiced sausage, fresh eggs, and grilled halloumi, all served with warm, soft flatbread? The accompanying olives and crisp salad add a wonderful touch of freshness and crunch, making this a truly satisfying start to the day.
• Halloumi Wrap: This wrap is wonderfully tasty and incredibly soft. It makes for a fantastic lunch option that, despite the generous amount of cheese, never feels heavy – a perfect light bite.
• Redmoon Toast: For me, this is right up there with the best avocado toasts I’ve ever had. The avocado is creamy and delicious, and the egg is cooked to absolute perfection. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching that lovely golden yolk spill out onto the avocado toast!
• Baklava: For a sweet finish, their baklava is pure syrupy, crunchy goodness. It’s incredibly flavourful and tastes wonderfully fresh.

Beyond the fantastic food, their coffees and juices are also delicious, rounding out a truly great dining experience. Simple, fresh, and utterly delicious, Redmoon Cafe is an absolute must-try for any foodie in the Dorking area. It’s a bright new star that’s here to stay!
