The Def Chef

The Def Chef is a well-regarded brunch cafe at 1/43 Macquarie Street in Dubbo, and for dog owners the draw is the planted courtyard out the back, where dogs are welcome while you eat. A footpath window also lets you order without going inside.

The dog setup. Dogs settle in the outdoor courtyard, a small green space with plants, rather than the indoor dining room. The footpath ordering window makes it easy if you are mid-walk and do not want to tie the dog up. Bring your own water bowl, as provision is not guaranteed.

Good to know. The cafe is known for well-presented brunch, classics like bacon and poached eggs, and good coffee, with friendly, helpful staff. Open daily from 6am, with shorter hours on weekends.

Getting there and parking. 1/43 Macquarie Street, in the North Riverdale precinct. Standard street parking is available nearby, with easy access to the outdoor areas from the street.

Nearby with the dogs. The Macquarie River pathway is close by for a walk before or after coffee.

Best mid-morning on a fine day when the courtyard tables are free. Good for owners who want a sit-down brunch with the dog beside them.
