Bringing an upbeat café culture to Belmont, Café Macquarie lures in locals with nourishing fare and aromatic coffee. Right in the heart of the CBD and close to the shores of Lake Macquarie, diners can sit alfresco savouring a breakfast treat while surrounded by striking street art murals, or stop by for a lazy lunch indoors where blond wood furniture and floor to ceiling windows create a relaxing, airy vibe. Kick start the day with corn and pumpkin fritters, stacked with baby spinach, sriracha hollandaise and poached egg, or perhaps devour housemade Café Mac beans with smoked paprika, served on sourdough. Lunchgoers can delve into the likes of mushroom risotto, topped with sour cream and truffle oil, or a chicken and pumpkin salad with avocado, feta, cherry tomatoes and balsamic dressing.
