About The Tasting Deck

Pairing market-fresh pantry runs with serious cafe dining, this Terrey Hills deck lets you sip coffee while the kids tackle the adjoining play area. Perched right beside Forestway Fresh, morning regulars drop by for crispy-skinned truffle salmon over fried white polenta or wood-fired skillet omelettes before hitting the produce aisles. Afternoon brings out prawn rozette tossed with tender tagliatelle, crisp Caesar spears, and flaky sfogliatelle filled with sweet ricotta and custard.

  • Deckside Playground & Dog-Friendly Seating: Dine out on the open deck within easy line-of-sight of the fenced playground, complete with dog-friendly zones.
  • Integrated Gourmet Market Run: Steps from Forestway Fresh for artisan cheeses, European pantry staples, and orchard fruit before or after your meal.
  • Produce-Led Cafe Dining: Hearty plates span wood-fired breakfasts and seafood linguine to house patisserie like baked pear and ricotta cake.

  • Unrushed Leisure for Parents and Kids

    Parents can unwind with peace of mind knowing children are happily occupied right by the dining area without compromising meal standards.

    We love the way you can supervise the littlies and still have fantastic fresh food.

  • Gourmet Quality Next to the Farm Market

    Positioned right beside the produce market, the venue delivers high-end dishes and baked goods that make the errand-and-lunch trip worthwhile.

    This is restaurant quality food in a cafe setting, portions were generous on the prawn pasta and wrap, its a must try for those who visit for the fresh fruit and groceries.

  • Thoughtful Seating for Dog Owners and Groups

    Generous outdoor seating areas provide dedicated space for diners bringing dogs alongside relaxed family gatherings.

    Seating inside, near the children's play equipment, or to one side with your dog. Very well set up areas!

    With its expansive deck setting and versatile menu, the venue offers an easy, welcoming midpoint for gathering extended family and friends.

    It was an ideal spot to grab a very nice meal and have a chat before we continued our journey.

  • Seafood Linguine

    My seafood linguine was one of the best I've ever had. The balance of salty, lemon and seafood flavour was perfect.
