Locations
Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Yarra Ranges is the highly acclaimed Paperbark Café, and now set in the tranquil bush surrounds of Warrandyte is our newest offering Manna Gum Café.
Both are a celebration of the flavours and nourishing qualities of Australian bush foods.
Our cafés will provide you with a warm and friendly retreat where you can enjoy an indulgent breakfast, lunch, morning or afternoon tea.

Native Flavours
Since 2004, Paperbark Café has curated a menu that celebrates the unique flavors and exceptional nutritional qualities of Australian bush foods. Our team of qualified chefs at this Cafe Native Nursery destination brings decades of culinary expertise, specialising in native ingredients like lemon myrtle, wattleseed, and mountain pepper.
And now our newest café, Manna Gum, carries that same bushland spirit into Warrandyte.
Furthermore, these talented professionals create seasonal menus that showcase the diverse palette of native Australian cuisine, offering visitors a true taste of the bush while enjoying views of Australia’s largest collection of native plants.
