Meet Gerard

Meet Gerard is a cosy brunch cafe set in a converted terrace on Henderson Road in a quieter part of Alexandria. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, which makes it a comfortable weekend stop close to Sydney Park.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor terrace tables, front and back, with the indoor seating kept for humans. The quiet street setting suits a dog sitting on a lead beside the table. Water bowls are often provided and the staff have a dog-friendly reputation, but bring your own bowl to be sure.

Good to know. The coffee is roasted by Coffee Alchemy, and the cafe is known for its fluffy pancakes with mascarpone and fruit alongside a broad brunch menu with lighter options too.

Getting there. Find it at 54 Henderson Road, near the Mitchell Road intersection. Street parking is on Henderson Road and the side streets in this mixed residential and light-industrial pocket.

Nearby with the dogs. Sydney Park, with extensive off-leash areas, is a short walk or drive away. The Grumpy Barista, another dog-friendly cafe, is also on Henderson Road if you want a second coffee.

When to go. Weekends are the busy brunch window, so weekday mornings are calmer. Good for dogs that settle on a quiet terrace.
