About Sugarlane Lane Cove

Sugarlane turns casual Lane Cove dining into punchy, high-calibre South-East Asian feasts right beside the park. Overlooking the green lawn of The Canopy, this open-air spot swaps routine suburban takeaway for sharp plates—crisp chicken with plum sauce, Hiramasa kingfish, and slow-braised Wagyu beef rendang. Patrons regularly lean on the multi-course \"Trust Me\" banquet to skip the ordering debate, letting the kitchen steer dishes paired with thoughtful wines while the kids run across the grass nearby.

  • The 'Trust Me' Banquet: Multi-course curated feast featuring house staples like kingfish and Wagyu beef rendang, with matching wine options.
  • Parkside at The Canopy: Outdoor dining directly adjoining The Canopy's open lawn and children's playground.
  • Dietary-Friendly Range: Extensive adaptations across the menu, including a dedicated gluten-free fried chicken.

  • Elevated South-East Asian Flavours

    Chefs serve refined South-East Asian flavours that push well beyond neighbourhood takeaway staples.

    it's not a local Thai restaurant with the usual dishes. You want classy food then this one fits the bill.

  • Direct Canopy Parkside Access

    Direct adjacency to The Canopy playground lets children play outdoors while adults enjoy their meal.

    Nice location near kids playground so the kids can be entertained while the adults enjoy their meal.

  • Effortless Family Dining Setting

    Open parkside green spaces keep family gatherings lively without disturbing other guests.

    Especially for families with children - given the green space and playground of the Canopy is right next door.

    The multi-course Trust Me banquet removes ordering effort with paired wines and curated highlights.

    Went with the "Trust me" option with matching wines. Amazing. Sam was great, spending time to explain the wines and what they were highlighting within the dishes
