Amidst the cold concrete buildings of Canberra’s CBD is a café injecting new life into the nine-to-five routine of local corporates. Courtyard by Milkcrate is just a short walk away from its previous Marcus Clarke street address, boasting an open, Hamptons-style feel that is just perfect for soaking up the sun in the warmer months.

It’s concept, menu and design have been executed under the guidance of owner Hakan Demir and his knowledgeable team.

“I wanted to create a casual space that was nice and fresh, but still really cosy – a place where people feel comfortable to sit, chat and share some great food,” Hakan explains.

“I did the interior myself, I loved the look of lush greenery and wicker fans alongside the background of white tiles and whitewashed timber.”

The menu is made up of a number of café delights, and Hakan’s Turkish heritage combined with fresh, seasonal produce sourced from the Canberra region influence many of the fan-favourites. Ranging from light breakfast treats to hearty mains, Courtyard certainly has all the boxes ticked – whatever the mood you’re in!

With a great open space and an outdoor area as well, Courtyard is the perfect size and space to host a work Christmas party, casual gathering or corporate lunch. For more information about Courtyard’s packages head over to the functions section of our site.
