Mamma says – Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful café on a calm water’s edge, featuring a sunny outdoor deck adorned with blue and white umbrellas by day – and by night, thanks to their new dinner service, sunsets, cosy lighting and great cocktails!

The spacious dining areas have shades of blue and aqua decor evoking Mediterranean vibes often reserved for places much further away than Point Cook!

Welcome to Anaia Cafe, Bar and Restaurant.

Anaia Sanctuary Lakes Lakeside Dining Summer Evening Cafe Breakfast Melbourne West

Anaia is all class with its beautiful food, attentive service, and of course the location, all while offering excellent value.

Families are warmly welcomed with ample larger tables, a kids' menu, and high chairs too.

There are three distinct dining areas: a stunning indoor space, a large enclosed deck with gorgeous tiles, and an outdoor deck that's perfect for enjoying sunny days.

As the Mammas, we take our duty to share our experiences very seriously – so of course, we had to try plenty of delicious dishes throughout the day and at dinner!

Highlights from our daytime visit included the signature Turkish eggs, tiramisu French toast, the green bowl with chicken sausage, and the potato gratin with poached smoked cod. And let’s not forget the coffee – it’s excellent.

For dinner, we loved the lamb ragu pasta, the steak sandwich, the chicken-loaded Caesar salad, and (of course) the cocktails! Yes, as we said, it’s our duty to try everything – and trust us, you’re going to love it.
