Cafe and Kitchen Broughton (Korean Fried Chicken)

Cafe and Kitchen Broughton sits on a corner at 1 Broughton Street in Parramatta, running as a Campos-coffee brunch cafe by day and a Korean kitchen by night. The street-front outdoor tables are what make it an easy dog stop in a suburb not short of cafes but short of pavement room.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating on the corner. The street frontage gives you a bit of pavement to settle a dog beside you, though it is a working corner with passing traffic and pedestrians, so it suits a dog that stays put. Staff are friendly; bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Worth knowing

The kitchen is best known for its Korean fried chicken, but the all-day menu runs from poke bowls and truffle oil mushrooms at brunch to teriyaki salmon and Korean dinner plates at night, and it is considered good value for Parramatta. Doors open 7:45am daily; closing times vary through the week, from mid-afternoon on quieter days to late evening on the busier nights, so check the cafe's Instagram if you are planning an evening visit with the dog.

Getting there and parking

The cafe takes the corner of Broughton and Wigram Streets, a short walk from the Parramatta CBD fringe. Street parking on the surrounding blocks can be busy, with a paid lot nearby as backup. Parramatta station is within walking distance if you would rather arrive on foot with the dog.

Close by with the dogs

The Parramatta River foreshore and the People's Loop are within walking distance for a stroll before or after a meal. For a proper off-lead run, Dan Mahoney Reserve's fenced dog park is a short drive north. If the corner is full, Homage Specialty Coffee is another dog-friendly cafe option in town. An early weekday coffee or an off-peak evening gets you the quieter footpath. More NSW dog friendly cafes and stops around Parramatta are on the site.
