'The Deus Cafe' is the restaurant portion of the famed Camperdown situated 'Deus Ex Machina' custom motorcycle shop and showroom. Dues serves an exsquite range of coffees, cakes, pastries (prepared by French pastry Chef Pierre) as well as savoury meals seven days a week. The cafe is brilliantly decorated with modernist artworks and gritty motorcycle memorabilia. A perfect place to take dad to breakfast (it may be best to avoid the showroom though in case you break his heart).

An enticing menu, mums with prams and the odd bikie make for a stimulating mix.
SOMETIMES a menu just grabs you, like true love across a crowded room. If you're really lucky, the food's good too. Deus Cafe is an unlikely object of my affection. I stumbled across it by accident and dinner here took me by surprise. It whispers words I want to hear: organic chicken liver pate with brioche toast ($15); herb gnocchi with mixed mushroom ragout and pecorino ($20); and - swoon - slow-cooked pork belly with braised brussels sprouts and roast parsnip ($22). There's a rustic Italian bent, yet this is polished fare. Matthew Pollack's 14-dish menu has me excited. Learning he's honed his craft at A Tavola and Fratelli Paradiso explains a lot, especially the house-made pasta. The gnocchi is close to Sydney's finest - ethereally light and scented with oregano, sage and thyme. The ragout of pine, flat and slippery jack mushrooms, cleverly ever-so-slightly acidic, is a perfect partner.

They wander around, gazing lovingly at gleaming engines with names such as Triumph Thruxton, Kawasaki, Deus Grievous Angel and Drovers Dog Custom. These licences-to-speed sit pertly on their wheeled haunches like pedigree dogs at a show. All the accessories are here too: piston hoodies, helmets named after Parisian suburbs, chukka boots, beatnik sunglasses, gripping gloves. The atmosphere is not only accessorised, it's also artistic, with books and posters and a Persian carpet. Caffeine is the perfect partner for speed so Deus Ex Machina has embraced the espresso machine, then gone one better. It's put in the w...
