Solace Kitchen is a unique caterer located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. For several years we have been serving up street food and gourmet delights, mostly inspired by the cuisine of South-East Asia. However, in more recent years, we've become famous for our unforgettably delicious and authentic Spanish paella!
From 2019-2024, Solace Café operated out of an attractive vintage-style caravan as a unique outdoor café - first in Ingleside and then in Belrose. Beyond its delectable and varied menu, Solace Kitchen has always been committed to eco-ethical practices, featuring an edible garden, worm farm, compost, and a 24/7 Free Pantry (still located at 280 Powderworks Rd, Ingleside) which allows people to donate or receive donations to help those in need.
Solace is a top-rated Northern Beaches catering business on Google and has received a Finalist Award 6 years in a row in the Local Business Awards. On top of all that, we've achieved a top 5-star rating on 'Scores on Doors' for food safety and hygiene.
Although the cafe is currently closed (for now), Solace Kitchen continues to provide catering services in Sydney for public and private events. The Solace food & coffee van can be seen popping up at local food markets, where they continue to serve up their unique street food menu. We also deliver our popular frozen meal range to a growing customer base in Sydney.
Known for nutritious and delicious street food, Solace offers a variety of unique fusion dishes inspired by South-East Asian cuisine, including popular items like roti toasties, bao burgers and frozen curry packs. We also serve up our house-made Jun kombucha, superfood probiotic kefir smoothies and Fairtrade Organic coffee/tea at select events.
Owner-founder Mel is also available to teach cooking classes (including paella/churros, Asian feasts) and workshops for making probiotic drinks such as kombucha, jun and kefir. Why not invite her to run a Sydney cooking class for your group or organisation?
The goal is to find the right location to bring it all together: café-restaurant, events/classes, retail offering, edible garden and catering. If you have an ideal Sydney location for us, get in touch! Stay tuned as our journey continues. The easiest way to do that is by following us on Facebook and Instagram!
