Tantalising food and stunning views<br />
entice guests to Cafe Birkenhead<br />
STUNNING waterfront views and tantalising gourmet meals are attracting dozens of newlyweds<br />
and their reception parties to Cafe Birkenhead at Sydney’s historic Birkenhead Point.<br />
<strong>The</strong> al la carte meals<br />
are prepared by a hand<br />
picked team from among<br />
Sydney’s top chefs who<br />
pride themselves on the<br />
quality of the food they<br />
select from the market as<br />
well as the culinary flair<br />
and creative presentation<br />
they put into every meal,<br />
entree and dessert.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fabulous food feast<br />
starts from the moment<br />
reception guests walk<br />
into Cafe Birkenhead<br />
through the maritime<br />
themed doorway to be<br />
served delicious canapes,<br />
sparkling vintage<br />
wines, scrumptious entrees<br />
and generous main<br />
courses before rounding<br />
off a perfect evening with<br />
an equally perfect dessert.<br />
“Children are always<br />
our special guests and<br />
our chefs have created<br />
a delightful children’s<br />
menu and an outstanding<br />
new menu for people<br />
who prefer vegetarian<br />
food or require a gluten<br />
free or other allergy sensitive<br />
selection,” your<br />
host, Manager Rebeka<br />
Toth said.<br />
Cafe Birkenhead’s large<br />
industrial style windows<br />
open onto a spectacular<br />
view of yachts clinking<br />
at their moorings on Port<br />
Jackson below and to<br />
a sweeping vista of the<br />
Balmain peninsula.<br />
“Of course the stunning<br />
views are especially popular<br />
but what I am very<br />
proud of is that we are<br />
highly commended and<br />
complimented on the excellence<br />
of the food we<br />
serve and on our friendly,<br />
respectful staff who share<br />
my own love and passion<br />
for this unique venue experience,”<br />
she said.<br />
Cafe Birkenhead is also<br />
one of Sydney’s most<br />
creative venues.<br />
Bridal parties and other<br />
special function hire<br />
groups are invited to<br />
work directly with Rebeka<br />
and her team to create<br />
an evening enhanced<br />
by a unique decor and a<br />
personalised theme.<br />
“I bring to the venue<br />
a background in project<br />
management and a<br />
strong appreciation of<br />
the importance of small,<br />
personal touches that<br />
are special, cherished<br />
and significant to each<br />
individual function and to<br />
each bridal party.<br />
“Wonderfully, this venue<br />
also lends itself to our<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cafe Birkenhead team of chefs pride themselves on the quality and excellence<br />
of their creations. <strong>TWT</strong> on-the-spot PHOTO<br />

Functions<br />
guests’ imagination and<br />
we recently had a function<br />
where you stepped<br />
inside to find the whole<br />
cafe decked with flowers<br />
.<br />
“We have moved far<br />
beyond the ordinary concept<br />
of a boutique wedding<br />
reception venue to<br />
create an extraordinary<br />
vintage location that retains<br />
the original stonework,<br />
complimented by<br />
timber beams and fittings<br />
to respect Birkenhead<br />
Point’s maritime history.”<br />
It is open for lunch during<br />
the day where patrons<br />
can enjoy the privacy<br />
of a waterfront table<br />
for two.<br />
“But it is at night that<br />
Cafe Birkenhead becomes<br />
an especially<br />
magical place, when we<br />
turn on the fairy lights,<br />
dim the candelabras and<br />
place tiny candles at the<br />
large industrial windows<br />
and all the more so in autumn<br />
and winter when we<br />
have a cosy, romantic log<br />
fire roaring away.<br />
“We have created a<br />
captivating heritage hide<br />
away and everyone who<br />
comes here says they<br />
love it and tell us it is a<br />
real hidden gem.”<br />
With heritage, style,<br />
sophistication, outstanding<br />
food and magnificent<br />
harbour views it is little<br />
wonder that Cafe Birkenhead<br />
enjoys a five star<br />
reputation.<br />
But unlike other five star<br />
venues it doesn’t come<br />
with an extravagant price<br />
tag.<br />
“We have kept our<br />
price affordable and our<br />
guests can exclusively<br />
hire our venue from 6pm<br />
until midnight and with<br />
car parking from only five<br />
dollars.<br />
““Our all inclusive packages<br />
come at no extra<br />
cost, with unlimited<br />
drinks included, starting<br />
at $99 per person with a<br />
DJ included in the price.”<br />
Cafe Birkenhead seats<br />
160 guests with a dance<br />
floor option and 200<br />
guests without the dance<br />
floor option.<br />
<strong>The</strong> heritage aura of<br />
Cafe Birkenhead also<br />
makes it an ideal venue<br />
for the most upmarket<br />
and dignified corporate<br />
and special cultural<br />
group function.<br />
“We welcome visiting<br />
guest artists and musicians<br />
and we’ve recently<br />
hosted an authentic Serbian<br />
celebration featuring<br />
some of Sydney’s top<br />
traditional Serbian musicians.”<br />
“We are honoured to<br />
host these very significant<br />
community events<br />
and at all our events we<br />
invite guests to share<br />
their ideas, their unique,<br />
wonderful cultures and<br />
their community expectations<br />
with us .”<br />
