The hottest new dining destination on the lower North Shore is finally open! Acre Artarmon is a stunning farm-food inspired bakery, café, bar restaurant and greenhouse-style space, and it’s now open! Finally we are able to explore the sprawling indoor and outdoor productive gardens. Adjacent to HomeHQ Artarmon, the open-air oasis encourages guests to wander through, touching, smelling and viewing the growing produce.
Acre Artarmon is open! Will it be a table amongst the hydroponics, under the terrace pergola or perhaps nestled in a restaurant booth? Or will you swing by for freshly churned gelato, a brew and and a bunch of flaky house-baked treats? Maybe enjoy mid-week brunch (best in the new plant-filled atrium cafe)?
Acre Artarmon’s fresh herbs, flowers and fruit (grown onsite) will be used to produce delicious artisan bakery products; feature in café, restaurant, weddings & events menus; and used in homemade pizzas, garden-inspired cocktails and friendly beverages.
Acre Artarmon will grow fresh herbs, flowers and fruit the way they do at Camperdown (shown)
