Seraphine Cafe

Seraphine Café is located at the rear of Maitland Regional Art Gallery, making it a convenient place to pause before or after exploring the gallery’s exhibitions and Australian art collection. The café serves breakfast, lunch, light meals, coffee and cakes, offering a straightforward choice for a morning visit, daytime meal or coffee break in Maitland.

The setting is one of its defining features. There is indoor dining as well as an alfresco area surrounded by a boutique garden, with the venue’s image showing outdoor dining. That combination gives visitors the option of a garden setting or a seat inside, while keeping the café closely connected to the gallery experience. It could suit solo visitors taking a break from the exhibitions, as well as people visiting the gallery together.

The café’s name refers to Séraphine Louis, an 18th-century French artist, and its offering has a local focus: Seraphine is fully licensed and places particular emphasis on local wines and produce. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8am to 2pm, although holiday hours can vary, so calling ahead is advisable. For anyone spending time at Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Seraphine Café provides an on-site option for food and drinks in a relaxed indoor or garden setting.
