[2025 Surry Hills Restaurant] Travel Guide for Cafe Kentaro (Updated May)

#MayTravelSupportCafeKentaro is a brunch mecca in Surry Hills. I passed by it a few times and finally visited, and I immediately understood why people rave about it. There are many menus that reinterpret the feeling of Japanese home cooking in a sophisticated way, and the plating is also sensational, so it’s a feast for the eyes. I ordered the signature Kentaro omelet rice and flat white, and the soft omelet and rich miso mushroom sauce went well together, and I thought “This is a high-end version of home cooking” after one bite. The coffee is well-balanced, so it goes perfectly with the food! The interior is cozy and has a lot of natural light, so it’s comfortable to eat alone, and it’s a great atmosphere to chat with friends. I really recommend it to those who love brunch + Japanese cuisine.

The exterior is cute and warm, but the interior is quite spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a leisurely meal. I ordered Kentaro Omelet Rice and Katsu Sando. The Omelet Rice is a soft omelet with tomato fried rice and salty miso mushroom gravy, which is a great combination of flavors! The Katsu Sando is a thick pork cutlet fried until crispy, and the moist bread, cabbage, and special sauce go well together. The moment I took a bite, I thought, "This is the real deal." The matcha latte was also rich and clean, making it perfect for finishing off with a dessert. Overall, the plating was pretty, and the staff was friendly, so it was a cafe with high satisfaction.
