About The Bakers Wife

Converted warehouse bones meet punchy brunch fare beneath vaulted timber beams on Burke Road. Natural light floods the exposed brick dining hall, giving way to a leafy rear pergola courtyard built for relaxed lingering. Morning crowds look to the kitchen for signatures like the corn and pecorino fritters or thick-cut sourdough loaded with creamy scrambled eggs, char-grilled Kaiser bacon, and crisp tempura enoki. Paired with a smooth flat white from the busy espresso bar, it delivers dependable ease across open tables and quiet back corners.

  • Tempura Enoki Scramble: Creamy chilli scrambled eggs come layered with crispy tempura enoki, shallots, miso mayo, and char-grilled Kaiser bacon.
  • Heritage Warehouse & Courtyard: Set in a converted heritage warehouse with exposed brick, tall vaulted timber ceilings, and a covered garden courtyard.

  • Chilli Scrambled Eggs

    I love the combination of ingredients in the chilli scrambled eggs. I'm talking about fatty savoury bacon, hot creamy scrambled eggs, crispy carmelised shallots and the light fried enoki. The combinations worked well and I was full by the end of it!

  • Smoked Salmon with Potato Hash

    We ordered the smoked salmon with potato hash, then the barramundi with kipfler potatoes. Everything tasted so fresh - and went well together. I really liked the fried onions and olives on my smoked salmon dish, giving a little more additional flavour.
