About Mecca Cafe

Mecca Cafe, also known more recently as Mecca Restaurant, was a local Italian‑style restaurant and cafe located at 22 Mount Street, Burnie, Tasmania, Australia. It was operated by Frenrad Pty Ltd, which traded under the registered business name “Mecca” and trading name “Mecca Cafe/Mecca Restaurant.” The venue offered casual dine‑in and takeaway meals focused on pizza, pasta, steak, seafood, and classic bistro dishes at a typical price range of about A$20–A$40 per person, and it shared a historic CBD building with the Ikon Hotel in central Burnie.

A Mecca Cafe or Mecca Restaurant charge usually appears on a bank or card statement after an in‑person visit for lunch or dinner, takeaway order, or bar/drinks tab. The descriptor might show as “MECCA CAFE BURNIE,” “MECCA RESTAURANT BURNIE,” “MECCA BURNIE TAS,” or under the owning company name “FRENRAD PTY LTD.” In most cases this will be a one‑time charge for food and beverages, sometimes including a tip/gratuity, a split bill across multiple cards, or a pre‑authorisation that later converts into the final charge. Because Mecca has since closed and Frenrad Pty Ltd’s ABN has been cancelled, any new charge you see today is typically from a past visit, a delayed settlement from the payment processor, or an adjustment/refund linked to an earlier transaction.

To verify a Mecca Cafe charge, first match the transaction date and amount to when you or someone in your household dined at Mecca/Mecca Restaurant in Burnie and check any paper receipts, email confirmations, or bank app notes from that day. If you need supporting documents, your best option is usually to check with your bank for the original authorisation details and, if necessary, ask whether they can provide a copy of the merchant record or start a dispute. Because Mecca is now permanently closed and the operating company’s ABN has been cancelled, direct customer support from the restaurant is unlikely; however, you may still try contacting the Ikon Hotel at the same address to ask if they retain archived invoices. If you cannot recognise the payment after checking with family members and reviewing past visits, contact your card issuer promptly to dispute the charge or request that your card be replaced in case of possible fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of purchases usually show up as a Mecca Cafe/Mecca Restaurant charge, and for how much?

Most Mecca Cafe (Mecca Restaurant) charges come from in‑person dining, takeaway meals, or bar/drink tabs at 22 Mount Street in Burnie. Typical spend per person was roughly A$20–A$40 depending on drinks and extras, but group meals could be significantly higher. Your statement amount should line up with the total on your receipt, including any tip you added or shared plates for a group.

Why do I see “FRENRAD PTY LTD” or a Mecca Cafe charge even though the restaurant is now closed?

Frenrad Pty Ltd was the company behind Mecca Cafe/Mecca Restaurant, and some banks show the company name instead of the trading name in the descriptor. Frenrad’s ABN has since been cancelled and Mecca Restaurant in Burnie is listed as permanently closed, so any transaction appearing now is usually from a visit before closure, a delayed card settlement, or an adjustment or refund related to an earlier meal. If the date or amount doesn’t match a past visit, treat it as suspicious and contact your card issuer.

Can Mecca Cafe charges ever look like multiple payments for the same visit?

Yes, a single visit can result in more than one line on your statement. Common reasons include splitting the bill between several cards, paying for drinks or a bar tab separately from the main meal, or seeing an initial pre‑authorisation followed by the final amount (with the hold later dropping off). Compare your receipt totals and payment method to each entry on your statement to confirm they add up correctly.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice for a Mecca Cafe transaction?

If you no longer have your printed receipt, first check your card or banking app for the exact date, time, and amount of the Mecca Cafe/Mecca Restaurant charge, as your bank may be able to provide a basic merchant record. Because Mecca has closed, there is no active website or central customer service, but you can try contacting the Ikon Hotel at the same address to ask if they still hold archived invoices for past restaurant operations. If you need documentation for a dispute or tax, your bank or card issuer can often accept statement details and any photos/emails you have from the visit.

Are there any recurring or subscription-style charges from Mecca Cafe?

No, Mecca Cafe/Mecca Restaurant operated as a traditional restaurant and did not sell ongoing digital subscriptions or memberships. All legitimate charges should be one‑off transactions tied to specific visits, events, or catering orders. If you see repeated Mecca‑branded charges you cannot link to separate visits, contact your card issuer immediately to rule out card misuse.

Why did I see a small or duplicate Mecca Cafe amount that later disappeared or changed?

Some payment terminals perform a small pre‑authorisation or place a temporary hold for the estimated bill total when a card is first swiped or inserted, especially for open tabs or large group bookings. This can show up as a separate pending amount that is later voided when the final charge (including tip or adjustments) is processed. These temporary holds should fall off your account automatically within a few business days; if they remain or you’re charged twice, ask your bank to investigate and reverse any duplicate.

How do I dispute a Mecca Cafe charge or request a refund now that the restaurant is closed?

Because Mecca is no longer trading and the operating company’s ABN has been cancelled, you generally won’t be able to obtain a refund directly from the restaurant. Instead, gather any receipts, photos of menus, or correspondence you have, then contact your bank or card issuer and explain why you believe the charge is incorrect or unauthorised. They can start a formal dispute (chargeback) process and attempt to recover the funds from the acquiring bank that processed Mecca’s payments.

Can I still use or buy Mecca Cafe gift vouchers or credit?

If you have an old Mecca Cafe or Mecca Restaurant gift voucher, it may no longer be redeemable because the restaurant is listed as permanently closed and the company that operated it has had its ABN cancelled. Try contacting the Ikon Hotel or checking any written terms on the voucher to see if another venue at the address honours it, but there is no public indication that current restaurants there automatically accept Mecca‑branded credit. For unresolved balances purchased by card, you can ask your card issuer whether a dispute is possible, especially if the restaurant closed shortly after you purchased the voucher.
