About Calico Cafe

Sydneysiders head to all-in-one dining destination Calico Café on Abercrombie Street in Redfern for everything from brunch to cocktails and tapas fare with flair. A rustic vibe of exposed brick, ceiling beams, polished concrete and trailing greenery sets the scene for leisurely all-day dining; while at night the vibe turns funky with fusion-style plates, gourmet pizza and cheeky drinks. Stop by early for a hangover cure of eggs, mac n cheese croquettes, salsa, bacon, chicken sausage, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and toast; or dine later over dishes like roasted lamb shank, roasted seasonal vegetables and red wine reduction. Begin your evening meal with a starter of wood-fired baby octopus; followed by za’atar spiced chicken breast, confit garlic labneh, pickled onion strip and fresh greens.

The Pizza is the finest in Sydney …
Not to mention the wine list. But if you’re not feeling like pizza they also have an all day menu and Calico by Night menu with beverages to match every meal. Highly recommend.

A hidden gem
Calico Redfern is a must visit. I have always felt welcome at this place and the food is amazing! So many different options to choose from and the more you read the menu, the more you want to try... Each meal is different, a visual feast and your tastebuds are awakened. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic Christmas Celebration Lunch
My team enjoyed a beautiful Christmas celebration lunch today. I was impressed with the menu, lots of different options. It was so refreshing to have a menu offering meals with a bit of flare for once. Spoilt for choice. This isn’t just your average cafe food....everything was presented really beautiful, almost like art and tasted amazing. Perfect service too, thanks Paul and Matt. We had a lovely afternoon!
