Qudo Cafe & Sake

Top choice in Mid-North Coast


Japanese chefs work their magic in this imposing and beautifully rustic two-storey former Freemason building. It's run by the same owners as Federal's Doma Cafe, and the menu offers delicious delights such as sushi and sashimi, miso-glazed lamb cooked on a grill over bincho charcoal, tempura halloumi and kingfish carpaccio with wasabi oil.
