Putia Pure Food Kitchen

Banyo

Chef, TV presenter and food writer Dominique Rizzo founded this north side gem - Putia; a pocket-sized cafe with courtyard dining underneath a great poinciana tree and backyard herb and vegetable garden.

Conveniently located opposite Banyo train station on Royal Parade, Putia (a little shop selling food and wine in Sicily) is licensed and open for breakfast and lunch from Wednesday through Sunday. With a focus on fresh, whole foods and locally sourced ingredients, the menu is seasonal with plenty of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.

All day breakfasts from a seasonal menu might include the likes of Chocolate studded baked doughnuts with whipped ricotta and vanilla gelato; baked quinoa and almond maple clusters with house made blackberry jam; Breakfast zucchini pasta with ricotta, smoked roast mushrooms and roasted tomatoes; or Signature Putia benedict - avocado smash, poached eggs, sourdough, parmesan and basil béchamel.

There's also rustic Italian dishes like Osso Bucco, Fritto Misto de Mare along with pastas including Sardinian spicy sausage ragu, spinach and ricotta ravioli, and house-made potato and herb gnocchi.
