Cafe Patina

Set in a 132-year-old heritage-listed building designed by Sir John Suleman, this Wahroonga café pairs contemporary design with the building's classic bones. Tables sit beneath generous awnings, with a leafy outlook.

The kitchen leans toward honest, whole-food comfort cooking, drawing on regional producers and organic ingredients where possible, with a range of dietary options and a largely gluten-free menu. A modern Australian approach runs through the food, including a version of the Snapper Pie.
