Mentmore and Morley Pty Ltd

Mentmore and Morley is a corner cafe at Mentmore Avenue and Morley Street, doing modern Australian food with a light Asian lean. For dog owners, the draw is the generous footpath seating on a quiet corner, where a dog can stretch out beside you while you eat.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables. Inside is generally service animals only, which is standard for a NSW kitchen, so aim for an outside seat. The footpath tables are spacious enough for a dog to lie calmly at your feet, and staff are known to be good with visiting dogs. Bring your own bowl in case one is not on hand.

Good to know. Coffee is on Single O beans with Jersey milk, and the kitchen is rated for its brunch plates and short list of brunch drinks. Regulars single out the outdoor seating as the reason to linger.

Getting there. The cafe is near the Botany Road and Gardeners Road intersection. Street parking runs along Mentmore Avenue and the side streets but gets tight over lunch. Buses along Botany Road stop a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. Sweetacres Park is a couple of minutes on foot for a green break, and the wider Rosebery streets are quiet and easy for a stroll between coffees.

Weekdays are the relaxed option; weekend brunch is bustling, so come early if you want the corner to yourself.
