About the restaurant

Awarded by tripadvisor as “The Best of The Best” in 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, & 2026. "Traveller's Choice" in 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025.
"Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years.

Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes.

I have spent over 60 years travelling the world enjoying many restaurants over that time. My favourite dish right through those years is Pork Belly. Yesterday that dish was available at Green Fields - it was absolutely delicious and probably the best version ever! The other menu choices included good old favourites which were almost most appealing. Service was outstanding.

About the restaurant

Café Junie invites you to a bright, breezy brunch escape where the European-coastal white-washed arches meet modern Asian flavour twists.

On the plate you’ll find signature dishes like the chilli scram, whipped goat cheese, roasted peanuts, crispy chilli oil and micro coriander laid atop soft flatbread — and a luxe take on eggs Benedict with yuzu hollandaise served over house-made hash browns. The menu extends to a bang-bang chicken salad with miso-sesame chilli dressing, a wagyu ragù cheeseburger with umami salt fries, and fresh pastries alongside superb coffee from Blackboard and vibrant matcha offerings.

Cafe Junie curates more than just food, the vibe is sun-drenched, stylish and calm, perfect for a long brunch, casual catch-up or a relaxed coffee stop. With an open-air feel, dog-friendly courtyard and a menu that blends comfort classics with Japanese-inspired flair, this cafe is a must-visit for weekend brunch lovers on the Gold Coast.
