Find Award-Winning Eats at Lil Piggy

This fun eatery is all about beautiful, house-smoked ham, pastrami and brisket. That said, it serves colourful, veggie-friendly salads, gluten-free options and – they claim – the Southern Highlands’ best coffee.

What is the vibe at Lil Piggy?

This funky café in the heart of Mittagong has a lively atmosphere, and it eschews ultra-trendy décor for seriously indulgent food, from breakfasts to brunches and burgers to buddha bowls.

At Lil Piggy, you have free reign to be as gluttonous as you like, in fact it’s encouraged. Grab a table indoors or outdoors on the covered terrace and get your nose in the trough.

What can I eat and drink at Lil Piggy?

Let’s start with those award-winning bakes. Lil Piggy is famed for its old school style donuts oozing raspberry jam and vanilla custard. Then there’s cheesecake brownies and hazelnut scrolls dripping with caramel or cinnamon custard.

For something more substantial, Lil Piggy’s brunches are epic. Try the Big Bad Wolf Breakfast, loaded with bacon, homemade chipolatas, eggs, mushrooms, sourdough and chili jam. Heavenly is the lovingly slow-cooked lamb which tops sourdough with eggs, nuts and seeds.

You will love the wholesome warm pumpkin salad which comes intermingled with feta, greens and candied walnut. To taste Lil Piggy’s greatest hits however, you should order its house special, Lil Piggies’ Pig-Out Plate; a deluge of house-cured pastrami, grilled ham, chorizo, beef sausage, brisket and fries.

If you want to recreate the Lil Piggy experience in your own home, don’t leave without picking up a jar of its signature Piggies Pastrami Rub.
