Jamie Gray Reliable Road-Trip & Travel Stop
Travelers through Newcastle count on Momo as an easy, dependable stop for wholesome food and filling meals.
We were driving back to Sydney from South West Rocks and stopped here for a late lunch. We found them on the internet when we were looking for vegan options on this route. Their website looked interesting and, to put it mildly, we were not disappointed.
