About The Wilkes

Tucked steps from Artarmon Station under leafy sidewalk trees, this neighbourhood staple serves dependable morning coffee and generous plates with old-school warmth. Regulars drop in for the pulled pork toastie or eggs Benedict stacked with fresh grilled salmon rather than standard deli cuts. Come lunchtime, the kitchen pivots to surprising restaurant-level dishes, turning out crisp soft shell crab pasta alongside cold beers on the pavement.

  • Hearty, fresh brunch fare: Eggs Benedict served over grilled salmon fillets instead of cold deli slices, plus pulled pork toasties and homemade hash browns.
  • Standout lunch plates: The kitchen runs beyond typical cafe lunch basics with dishes like crisp soft shell crab pasta.
  • Leafy transit-side spot: Alfresco sidewalk seating in a calm, shaded pedestrian avenue moments from the station platform.
