Food and drink


The Barracks Andrew Sikorski 2020

The Cafe at Lanyon Homestead is embarking on an exciting period of change, with improvements planned throughout 2025 to elevate your dining experience. While these changes are underway, we’ve partnered with some of Canberra’s best coffee vans to ensure delicious beverages and snacks are available during your visit.

Starting 8 January, grab a coffee, croissant, or toastie and soak in the stunning views of the Brindabella Ranges at one of Canberra’s premier historic sites.
