1. Teale Cafe and Catering

104 Lawes St., East Maitland, Maitland 2323

The bright, sunny, homey interiors of the restaurant combined with its simple, unpretentious décor make for a nice atmosphere where the star of the show is the great food and stellar service.

Established in 2010, Teale offers sumptuous breakfast and lunch options that continue to earn rave reviews from Maitland natives and visitors alike. 

In fact, one repeat visitor from out of town has this to say: ‘The salmon was beautiful, just cooked right and the generous dollop of hollandaise sauce was a delicious surprise! The salsa mixed with aioli was well balanced and not overpowered by the tomato taste. I keep coming back to Teale and they never disappoint.’

4. Ducks in the Field

550 Duckenfield Rd., Maitland, New South Wales 2321 Australia

If you love all things quirky and you find mismatched furniture and colourful crockery quite cute and awesome, then Ducks in the Field is sure to tick all the right boxes. And it also helps that their food is absolutely divine and served in generous portions, so guests are advised to come prepared with their takeaway food containers. They have menus that change with the seasons, although their high tea breakfast menu is more or less a staple.

With a charming country setting as its backdrop and the delicious aroma of freshly prepared food wafting in the air, you’re sure to feel at home in this quaint little restaurant.
