The Boatdeck Cafe has been serving quality food since 1998 when Joe Karam first established the Cafe on the Lake - literally with a boat deck - before it was relocated to its fine new premises in the prime location at the Mawson Lakes shopping centre in 2004. Look for us now on the corner as you drive in to the centre for easy car parking and a great view of the waterways which make Mawson Lakes famous.

At the Boatdeck, we know that there can be no substitute for truly great coffee.  And for the best coffee you must have the finest coffee machine and use the only 1st grade Arabica beans.  The La Marzocco professional coffee machine, which is well at home in the Boatdeck, is handmade in Florence, Italy, by the company whose worldwide reputation for quality has been built by quite achievement since 1927. Coffee has been in common use for over 1,000 years but few know the secrets of preparing a really great cup of coffee.  It takes the best engineered equipment and prime quality coffee beans but most of all it demands a serious commitment to the art and science of coffee making and to customer service. We know coffee – and we know how to make coffee. From the sheer caffeine fuelled power of our short blacks to the sophistication of our cafe latte or macchiato, you will not be disappointed.

It is all fresh. Taste the difference!  Then you will understand what underpins the Boatdeck quality distinction. The Boatdeck caters for all tastes with our creative pizza menu (such a pity the Internet doesn't have smell!) to silver service salads, steaks and fish at Cafe prices! No restaurant is worthy of the name without a first class range of wine and beer on offer. Expect the best at the Boatdeck but we offer a range to complement every taste and budget as well as all the usual soft drinks.  BYO is available. The Boatdeck is comfortably furnished with modern seating and every need is catered for, including child seating.  The entry doors are wheelchair friendly and disabled toilets are available on site.

The Boatdeck Steak Beef eye fillet, grain fed, chargrilled medium rare, topped with tiger prawns, dressed with brandy glaze sauce and served with stir fried vegetables. Just one of our famous dishes!
