About Lunas

Petersham’s Stanmore Road gets a bold Portuguese brunch wake-up with smoky chouriço scrambles and rich Francesinha sandwiches. Walk past the front counter and snag a seat out back in the leafy courtyard garden—an airy, dog-friendly retreat tucked well away from street traffic. Morning regulars stop in for double shots pulled on Reformatory beans, but the kitchen shines on the plates. Tables fill with garlic-spiced bifana pork rolls, fried chicken sandwiches, and thick buttermilk pancakes crowned with apple and a flaky pastel de nata.

  • Portuguese-Leaning Menu: Smoky chouriço scrambles, steak-stuffed Francesinha sandwiches, and custard-tart pancakes bring traditional Lisbon comfort to Sydney brunch.
  • Leafy Rear Courtyard: A spacious, dog-friendly garden courtyard sits hidden away from the street, offering leafy quiet for relaxed group brunches.
