An instant institution, Anouk opened to a full house for breakfast in February 2007 and continues to delight with an ever changing seasonal menu of food we like to eat.

The doors are thrown open early seven days a week, emphasising a genuine commitment to deliver the cafe we all wish we had ... following through with a menu that just gets better and better. Current highlights include gruyere, parsnip and thyme beignets with pan fried spinach and hollandaise and a mean nasi goreng with bumbu bali(don't ask, just try it), prawns, bacon and egg, peanuts and lime. Are you getting the picture?

Anouk offers a whole lot more than locally roasted coffee, farm fresh free range poachers and maple cured Bangalow bacon. Sometimes noisy, sometimes a queue ... always worth the trip. In a heritage building, with original bay windows overlooking the iconic undulating hills of inner city Paddington, Anouk is a must on any discerning person’s itinerary.

Anouk Cafe, coffee from 6.30am, cooking till 2.30pm, seven days.
