If you’re looking for a warm, inviting, family-friendly café that offers a range of healthy snacks, breakfast and lunch options, as well as nutritious grab ‘n’ go meals that are all 100% gluten free, you’ll find it just off Lonsdale St in Braddon.
Canberra local Jayne McLaren decided to open Paleo Cafe Canberra City with her husband in July 2015 after experiencing a number of health issues and stumbling across the Paleo Café Bondi. The food at the cafe and the paleo concept inspired her to take better care of herself. So she took control of her lifestyle and diet, adopted the Paleo philosophy and started looking after her body from the inside out. Jayne is passionate about bringing healthy food to the lives of all Canberrans by serving nutritious and delicious options at Paleo Cafe Canberra City.
Don’t be fooled by the name of the café because you don’t have to follow a strict Paleo lifestyle to eat here and enjoy the delicious options. Eating food that is cooked and prepared with no nasties has many benefits. The café adopts the Paleo philosophy that’s not a diet but a lifestyle. It’s about eating and living as naturally as possible. A good variety of lean meat, seafood, eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and berries are included in the menu at Paleo Café Canberra City.
It’s all about balance and Paleo Café Canberra City offers just that. Suitable for families, couples, groups of friends and business lunches, you’ll find everything from acai smoothies and bowls, matcha lattes, coffee, protein balls, smashed avo on toast, bacon and eggs, eggs benny, chicken schnitzels, pork belly, burgers and HEAPS MORE . There’s plenty to choose from and it’s all 100% gluten free! The cafe is also a great spot to stop in for an energy boost before or after the gym.
If you don’t have time to make dinner then you can pick up a meal or three from the grab ‘n’ go meals that are ready for you in the fridge or a chia pudding for breakfast. Paleo Cafe has teamed up with Australian chef, author and television personality, Pete Evans to create Healthy Every Day Ready Meals! These meals are of the highest quality using organic free range chicken from Inglewood farms, grass fed and free range lamb, grass fed and free range beef and wild caught fish. Each meal is a generous 400g with a maximum fridge shelf life of 28 days from production and include the nutritional breakdown on every pack. There will be six varieties to choose from so keep your eye out on the Paleo Café Canberra City Facebook page to find out the meals of the week!
Paleo Café Canberra City offers heaps of healthy options and if you’re not sure about something just ask the staff. They know their stuff and are more than happy to answers any questions you might have! There’s also a retail section in the cafe so after you eat you can stock up on gluten free pasta, pasta sauce, packet cake mixes, muesli and heaps of other goodies.
Head to Paleo Cafe Canberra City to check out the weekly menu specials, student specials and retail specials with 20% off for loyalty members! In May the Paleo Cafe cookbook (a good Mother’s Day gift) is two for one and there will be a happy hour in the mornings so you can upgrade your beverage of choice for free!
