About The Bungalow Petersham

A Petersham hideaway serving delicate French crêpes by morning and moody share plates by night, cushioned in quiet leather booths. Inner West locals drop by for savoury chicken chilli mushroom crêpes, then slip back after dusk when low lighting transforms the room into a cocktail den. Regulars appreciate the breathing room—no elbow-to-elbow communal benches, just chilled water in proper glassware and genuine care. Diners linger over balanced cocktails, skewers, and rich chocolate mousse.

  • Booth Seating: Tuck into comfortable booth seating arranged for genuine privacy, avoiding the packed communal crush.
  • House Crêpes: French-style sweet and savoury crêpes, like peri-peri chicken and chilli mushroom, cooked by an authentic French chef.
  • Day-to-Night Shift: Bungalow transitions from sunny daytime breakfasts into low-lit evening cocktails and share plates without losing its relaxed local cadence.
