Jarern Chai Grocer and Boon Cafe

Best Known For

Croissant with Pandan Custard

Aussie and Thai culture and cuisine come together at Asian fusion restaurant Boon Café, nestled inside Jarern Chai grocery store on Pitt Street in Sydney’s CBD. Stocked with fresh produce and imported goods, the large light-filled store is the ideal place to pick up healthy and nourishing Asian goods; before sitting a spell at cosy tables beneath a rustic brick wall adorned with a bicycle and perusing a menu bursting with flavourful fare. Drop in for breaky and dip a spoon into chicken congee – rice porridge with shredded chicken, shiitake mushrooms and a thousand-year egg; while later dinners can opt for stir-fries, curries, soups and warm salads, like five-spice duck, seasonal greens and rice. Don’t forget to try a spicy green papaya salad, with pickled field crab and fermented fish.
