Food and Farm Dining sits comfortably at the crossroads of a cafe, dog-friendly spot, and casual restaurant in the heart of Mudgee. Located on Market Street, this place draws in locals and visitors alike who are looking for fresh, thoughtfully prepared meals in a relaxed setting that welcomes four-legged friends.

The atmosphere here is a laid-back one, with a blend of cozy indoor seating and leafy outdoor areas that catch the breeze and shade. It’s a place where you might drop in mid-morning for a coffee and a simple breakfast or linger over lunch surrounded by the hum of local chatter and dog pats. The pet-friendly vibe is evident with water bowls and treats for dogs, making it an easy stop for anyone touring the town with a furry companion.

The menu emphasizes honest, fresh ingredients with clear nods to comfort food done well—dishes like focaccia sandwiches filled with slow-roasted porchetta or truffled mortadella, crispy lamb cutlets, and the signature “Humble Eggs” stand out. Whether you’re after something light or more filling, there’s a thoughtful variety including vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-conscious options. The focus on local produce and simple, careful preparation comes through in the flavors and presentation.

This spot is particularly well-suited to daytime visits when the natural light and garden-like outdoor setting can be fully appreciated. On cooler days, the indoor dining area offers a snug refuge without feeling cramped. Service here feels informed and attentive, with staff genuinely ready to explain the menu and accommodate special requests.

We ordered the Porchetta Focaccia & Gnocchi with burnt butter & sage. All the food was amazing, the staff were extremely friendly & knowledgeable about the food they were serving. On the focaccia was a nudjua sauce, when I asked about it the staff explained it & they actually sold it so we bought some. When in Mudgee I would highly recommend you go here to eat. It is also pet friendly

We had lunch here and it was the freshest and tastiest lunch during our stay in Mudgee. The indoor dining room was perfect for a cool day and there were plenty of outdoor seats as well. We had the focaccia sandwiches, potato skins and salt and pepper squid - we loved it all! The food didn’t take long to arrive and they were happy to accomodate my son’s allergy. My only regret was not trying the yummy looking cakes - next time!

We stopped here for lunch and it was so wonderful! Beautiful outdoor setting with greenery and shade. Great menu with options for vegetarians, vegans, gluten free, dairy free and all dishes fresh and delicious. Fantastic coffee. Service was super friendly and also very quick. Very dog friendly with water bowls, pats and treats. Thank you so much :)

We visited this place for lunch on a Monday and it was pretty full. I appreciate the lady at the counter telling us there was a bit of a wait for our food as a big group just came in. I didn’t mind the wait as the ambiance was nice and the weather was great. It’s an outdoor sitting, somehow the menu we were given was pretty limited for lunch but the focaccia was worth the wait. We ordered the truffle and porchetta focaccia sandwiches. We absolutely loved the truffle, very refreshing taste but the focaccia stole the show. I love how the wait was worth it, as we got served quality food. The staff are all very friendly too and they took their time chatting with us as well. Would definitely come back next time we’re in town

Lovely café with a great atmosphere! The environment is cozy and welcoming, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Both my child and I enjoyed it so much — it was the first time my kid finished an entire breakfast! This place truly deserves an even higher rating. Highly recommended!

We had breakfast here this morning and the service and atmosphere were lovely. If you like your scrambled eggs soft and not over-cooked or dry, this is the place to be! They were the best I’ve had in years! My partner raved about the coffee and it’s in the edge of town, so the service was personalized not rushed. Love it!

Travelling in the region and came back twice to this lovely outdoor cafe. Food is top notch, everything we tried was fresh and delicious. Portions are on the small side, but the taste makes up for that. Their gf bread was surprisingly good and cut in a thick slice. Staff are lovely too.

Beautiful cafe serving a lot of local produce. You can even purchase fruit and vegetables to take home. The cafe has both outdoor and indoor dining. Outside, you're tucked in under some beautiful trees and grapes vines. The breakfast menu is fantastic, as is the lunch choice. The cafe makes its own bread and it's beautiful. The cakes,coffee, and sweet choices are really nice too.
