Directions
'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).

    The food and coffee are great if they ever come, think this is the slowest place to get food in all of Sydney!

    I was hesitant to go to the caf when a friend suggested we meet for lunch because of the motorcycle image it portray, I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived.
    The caf is well spread out with plenty of long tables for larger groups and also small tables for smaller groups. There is also plenty of room for mums and bubs.
    The staff are friendly and efficient, you have to order at the front counter which is fine as the line moves quickly. The have a great spread of lovely tasty sandwiches, desserts and meals. I opted for the chicken baguette with corn and avocado it was lovely the baguette was lightly toasted.
    Its particularly good if you are in a rush at lunch time and just want something quick and they also do a takeaway.
    They also have a shop attached to the caf which sells a range of clothing, unfortunately I didnt have much time left to have a look but definitely will on my next visit.

    Deus is such a Camperdown icon. Just a pity that during the weekend its still a little too child friendly. Falling over strollers etc and so much noise doesn't appeal to me or my companions. Dinner....thats a different story. Loved the incredible dinner menu, great wine and a short stroll home

    Deus is a place of interest and excellent shopping for all. Great clothes even if you're not in to motorcycles. Wonder at what I would call the artistry of the customized bikes which have great aesthetic and engineering qualities. A bit of a change of direction for Dare Jennings with the restaurant offering great food and beverage for young and old. Outstanding artwork hanging around the place from some of the old Mambo guys and some newer Japanese artists. All in all bringing some much needed style to Sydney and not always understood by the faceless midrange family saloon driver.

    Deus seems to alternate between great and mediocre. Not a place unless you enjoy the multitude of strollers and kids...

    Excellent food. Amazing magazine selection. Good art on the walls and good atmosphere. Pity the coffee is so ordinary otherwise this place would be a regular fix.

    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.

    Sandwiches, pastas and sensational pastries share a shed with custom-built motorbikes.

    Deus Ex Machina means "god from a machine" in Latin. In Camperdown, it means the nearest thing to heaven for blokes mad about bikes. They (and their equally mad female counterparts) head here for motorcycles, retro in design and calibrated like Swiss watches, lined up for sale inside a vast renovated former factory that fronts downtown auto alley, Parramatta Road. 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...
