Menu

On this website, you will find the complete menu of Janus from Sydney. Currently, there are 66 dishes and drinks available.

The restaurant located at the corner of Bligh and Bent in the CBD offers a stunning cave-shaped space with almost 360-degree views of the city. However, the casual breakfast and lunch menu doesn't fully utilize the potential of the space. The mixed reviews highlight slow service, average food quality, and occasional issues with seating policies. Despite these drawbacks, the restaurant receives praise for its friendly staff, excellent coffee, and fresh ingredients. With some improvements in service efficiency and menu offerings, this city café could truly shine as a midday dining destination.

Was Tony W at Janus a mag?
This little cafe inside the building at 1 Bligh Street provides a great spot for non confidential business meetings. The wait staff are well trained in recognising meetings and take orders quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Another good thing, the coffee was great. View all feedback.

What CasandraTP dislikes about Janus:
Janus have opened an outdoor bar area which is great for catching up with friends in the city. The night we went they appeared to be understaffed but if you are not in a hurry that doesn’t matter. View all feedback.

Went for lunch with a table of 10 people today, our table was outside and it was quite cold but the staff were very attentive and immediately brought 2 heaters  to our table to keep us warm.  The service was great, all of our food came out at the same time which is always something I look for when going out to meals with large groups.<br/ <br/ Everyone ordered different things on the menu such as burgers, salads and wraps.  Everyone was thoroughly impressed with the food, the chicken avocado salad was the winning dish out of them all!  Everyone has said they will definitely be back, preferably on a more sunny day!

Great coffee and friendly service. However, diners should be made aware that when you dine in the price increases quite substantially.<br/ <br/ On the menu the spicy chicken panini is yum (but did not warrant the recent price increase from $9.90 to $10.90 take away.. . Also recommend the chicken quinoa salad and the burgers (burgers are best eaten in! .. Also something to be aware of is the lamb on the lamb panini has quite a bit of fat on the edges, if you like fatty lamb you will enjoy it, but I prefer no fat on my meat.<br/ <br/ Overall, good quality (mostly good value. But what's better is that they serve consistently good coffee.<br/ <br/

Love love love. Hands down the best reasonably priced lunchtime food in Sydney. I have taken many people here and am never disappointed. Good food, wine and coffee. The service can be a little questionable sometimes and it can be hard to secure a table but the food is always spot on. Recommendations any of the salads or sandwiches/ wraps.

Lovely cakes. Must try their cakes. Lovely Blackcurrant dome and white chocolate mango dome. I will be back to try their lunch as the food looks pretty good too.

WiFi in the CBD. Everything suggests this venue will be a success nestled at the forecourt of one of Sydney's newest icon buildings. Coffee was outstanding. Service was attentive. Choice of cakes and light eats was tempting. And WiFi was on tap. Strangely rare in the centre of Sydney's CBD.Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions can see the impact this venue will have on the local CBD cafe scene.Oh, when paying, check the atrium. Truly amazing. Well done!
