The Piggery Cafe

The Piggery cafe is an idyllic eatery located in Burnham Beeches, one of the region’s most spectacular mansions.

Unsurprisingly, the cafe’s name was inspired by the fact that it is housed in what was once a piggery. Suffice to say, the great rustic ambience makes this an impressive destination for food lovers.

The bakery-cafe adds a punch of class and great food to the Dandenong Ranges‘ culinary landscape. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of dining at the cafe is the fact that produce is sourced carefully to ensure that only the freshest foods are prepared. Whether you would like to sample free-range chicken or enjoy freshly brewed 5 Senses Coffee, this charming cafe does not disappoint.

Add to this the vegetables sourced from the estate’s organic garden and it is easy to see why this cafe is a favourite for many touring the region. Renowned chef and author Shannon Bennet effortlessly whips up the best foods for an unforgettable culinary experience.

The Piggery cafe serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea daily. Enjoy a traditional egg-and-bacon breakfast or pop in for a tantalising meal of seafood and other delicious treats. Alternatively, treat yourself to afternoon tea as you unwind after a long day.

After a hearty meal, nothing quite compares to sitting outside and soaking in the splendid views of the vast estate. There are various sections where visitors can relax and enjoy the beauty of this historic property.

The bakery section is worth checking out if you are a sweet tooth. Indulge in fresh fruit scones, tasty tarts or decadent cakes that are freshly baked for your enjoyment. All in all, this cafe is a high-end eatery that gives great value for money.
