Lavenders Riverside Cafe

Tucked away at the top of the Maitland Heritage Mall, Lavenders Riverside Café offers tranquil alfresco dining with views over the Hunter River. Bask in warm sunshine out in the courtyard of this locally loved venue as families and groups of friends wander past along the banks of the river, stopping in at Lavenders to cool down with a pineapple juice or stay for brunch and coffee. Classic café fare provides a dish for all tastes with a gourmet twist to incorporate the region’s fine produce and locally crafted products. Indulge in the chocolate challenge hotcakes with a three stack of hotcakes drizzled in chocolate syrup for breakfast, or visit later for meals like a grilled haloumi open sandwich with beetroot and cardamom relish and spears of asparagus on thick slices of sourdough bread.
