Diners escaping the city hustle may enjoy the rustic simplicity of Tibuc Gardens Café on Tibuc Road in Coonabarabran. Nestled at the base of Warrumbungle National Park, this café has a large bushland garden inviting families and guests to a linger-worthy lunch outside under a market umbrella or indoors on blond wood tables and chairs. The pleasant backdrop complements housemade hearty fare to tickle the tastebuds such as corn fritters with poached eggs, tomato salsa, avocado and bacon, or eggs benedict with smoked salmon and asparagus. This destination worthy diner also boasts a range of gourmet pies to munch on including beef, mushroom and red wine, or spinach and feta, while the classic chicken schnitzel gets a new twist with the addition of a pear, walnut and feta salad.
