If you're looking for food that's Instagram worthy and tastes just as good as it looks, Chimichuri is the place to be.
Food:
We ordered the "Black Benedict" and the "Fried Chicken Burger". The "Black Benedict" consisted of two squid ink buns, squid ink hollandaise sauce, poached egg, coleslaw and soft shell crab. The flavours were well balanced and the poached egg was perfectly cooked. The "Fried Chicken Burger" consisted of a perfectly crumbed fried chicken with the perfect amount of coleslaw. I am usually not a fan of coleslaw but this is an exception. Additionally the chips with nice and crunchy with the perfect seasoning and a side of tomato sauce. There is always room dessert. I highly recommend the pannacotta. It was light, not too sweet and garnished with fresh fruit. To tie the meals together, we had a taro and red velvet latte, both were very smooth and not too sweet. Although the drinks will wash away the black bread bits stuck between your teeth, some toothpicks would be really helpful after the meal. Overall, the portion and quality of the food is worth the price.
To top it all off, the staff were very polite and attentive. Marcus (assuming he was the cafe owner) was a very chill laid back guy who seems to really care about the quality of the food and the customer's experience. The great customer service really makes a huge difference.
Location:
Street parking is very limited. We parked in the westfield carpark. Its probably a 15 minute walk from the westfield carpark or a 5 minute walk from Chatswood station.
Cafe nowadays are popping up left right and centre. The overall quality of the food and the great atmosphere of Chimichuri makes this place a hidden gem of Chatswood. Thank you to Marcus and all the staff at Chimichuri for making the trek worth while (we're from the west!). We will definitely be back soon to try the other items on the menu.
Finally! A quality brunch place in Chatswood!
Whoever is running this place obviously care about their food. Not only great presentation but excellent flavor

One of the best tasting coffees I've had in a while 😍☕ The flavour was very strong and not watery at all. The earl grey latte was also super good, although just a little too sweet.
The food was bomb! Definitely can say chimichurri lives up to its reputation.
Tempted to come back just for the coffee, even though I live really far from Chatswood.
I discovered this café on Instagram & had to try it. Me & 2 other friends ordered the Black Benedict, Scallop Shell & Chimichuri Eggs.
My order was the Black Benedict & it was so good, the black hollandaise sauce was a bit weird because of the colour, my lips were black & some were stuck on my teeth but it could be wiped off with a napkin easily but still tasted like hollandaise sauce.
The shift shell crab was so crunch, the poached egg had the yolk ooze out perfectly & the salmon roe gave it a nice finishing touch.
The Scallop Shell is what I really wanted to try but my friend really wanted it so I decided to go for something else so we didn’t have the same dish & she said it was really nice, the eggs had a gold taste and cooked perfectly. I guess I’m just going to have to come another time and try it for myself.
The last dish was the Chimichuri Eggs which were good, basic breakfast/brunch food but still tasted good.
Our frappes were Green Tea Matcha, Red Velvet & Taro - these were made so well, not too sweet but not bland either. It was not sickening and went well with our order.
Overall, I would definitely recommend and I will be coming back to try the Scallop Shell

Quiet and hidden place located in the hearts of Chatswood, they make awesome chorizo rolls and it's fresh! The server is super friendly and it has a nice vibe to it.

A nice cafe with interesting and filling dishes.
🍞Signature french toast ($21)
🥐Lick my bacon ($19.5)
🥗Big kuhuna ($22)
The toast was pretty good. I enjoyed the fuity flavours with Nutella flavours. The fairy floss added a lot of sweetness. The syrup tasted really good with the croissant and contrasted nicely with the bacon. If you're hungry, get the big kuhuna, it's a hearty meal.
ordered the black benedict and inkkie and for drinks got the red velvet latte and green matcha latte. everything was perfect. came on a very rainy day but it didn’t ruin the outdoor setting and was very comfortable. the aesthetics of this dish is beautiful and was one of the best squid ink pastas i have tasted 👏👏
Nice ambience and great food!! I would recommend black benny and inkie. Scallop croissant is also amazing. Try their earl grey latte.
Food was nice, fresh and creative. The price is reasonable considering the quality and the attention to details. Very much instagram ready food. I would say there was a bit too much bread on the black Benedict - well I just left the top bit... no big deal.
Service was nice, staff was friendly.
Pana cotta, French toast, burger
The environment at chimichuri was amazing.
Everyone was so welcoming and just made the overall vibe really nice. The food was your typical brunch food at a reasonable price. I would recommend this cafe to others. 💓
Ordered the scallop shell and the hulk burger. Both very good quality and delicious! Both meals were of a decent size. Coffees were also good. I would definitely come back for both the food and coffee! There is a dual level for seating - upstairs is where prams can access. Toilets close by too.
A nice place to go for breakfast or brunch. Service is great. Ordered the pulled pork double cheese burger and scallop shell. Both tasted delicious. For cafe hoppers, this cafe is definitely worth a try. Most cafe foods usually only look pretty- can guarantee that the food here taste above the average cafe foods.
But with the price, I might as well visit a restaurant and have full big meal
The best coffee in the area. The barista very professional. French toast was perfect with chocolate+strawberry gels and fairy floss on top. Food came on time and service from the waitress was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely will come back to try more!
first time to this cafe. the atmosphere is nice. the food is great for photos! 📸📸
coffee is ok but not my kind of cuppa ☕️ unfortunately. 😐
this place is extremely busy on the weekend as there is always a queue around lunch time.
Creative yummy food with nice presentation. All of the dishes here are very photogenic for sure!
Very good customer service and the environment is very airy - covid safe!!

Had the chimichurri pasta. It is a prawn linguine with avo sauce. The prawns were crisp and fill of flavour, as were the pasta and the dish in its combination of flavours. The avo sauce was at times a bit rich and overpowering. Overall, nice atmosphere with music playing and I would come back occasionally, however it is slightly on the expensive side so that's why it is occasionally.
Food in here is always amazing and beautiful looks. Fast and friendly services. Price is way too cheap comparing to other fancy cafe. Must try "tako inkkie ", black ink pasta with grilled octopus.
We were waiting all of lock down for this place to open. I am glad they did!!
The big kahuna breakfast was so filling and both of our taro and red velvet latte was amazing.
Good ambience with tattooed up dali featuring on the wall.
Its quite conveniently located near Chatswood station as well.
