Opened
Coming Soon
Harris Farm Markets
Harris Farm Markets are coming. Their Architects posted the picture below on their Instagram page stating that Lane Cove Council had approved the plans for the supermarket. It will be located at the old Coles site on Burns Bay Road.
Opening Soon
Birdwood Cellars
Coming soon to Lane Cove – a new wine shop called Birdwood Cellars located opposite MBE Lane Cove.
Birdwood Cellars told us:
“We are passionate about wine, so much that we decided to expand our little wine bar wine list into a shop where you can take home something you love from our ever-evolving cellar. We will also have some of our very own gourmet produce at some point too. Unique & bespoke wines from awesome little winemakers, funky winemaking techniques, unusual locations and climates and more from Europe and Australia. We cannot wait to share this with you.
From the Team at Little Red Robin Restaurant & Wine Bar (two doors up from the shop!) *Liquor Licence Pending.

Always Andy
Peanut Butter Jelly
We worked with the best in the industry, experimented with flavours and spent lots of late night tasting sessions to craft dishes to be shared and enjoyed.
The menu draws inspiration from cultures all over the world including parts of Asia, North/South America and the Caribbean to create a fun and playful menu that is executed with a level of sophistication and elegance.
There are 5 zones within the venue:
• Casual bar area
• Outdoor dining/bar
• Casual dining and lounge
• Formal dining
• VIP room
Peanut Butter Jelly is located in The Canopy and is owned by a Lane Cove local. It is wonderful to see some of the restaurants in The Canopy sponsoring In The Cove, and please support those who support ITC. On ITC Lane Cove Chat, a member posted this review:
“Just wanted to share that we had a wonderful time at Peanut Butter Jelly yesterday. We celebrated our daughter’s baptism, and so had a large booking. The staff were so great and looked after us; the food was delicious, and having access to the grass area and playground for the kids while we enjoyed a long lunch. Lucky to have such a great place here!!”
Lane Cove Dance Academy
The aim of Lane Cove Dance Academy is to offer each student professional tuition in classical ballet and dance. Dance teaches self-discipline, creativity, poise, grace, expression, correct posture and spontaneity. It improves confidence and builds self-esteem. Dance is an excellent character builder and benefits each and every child either as a recreational hobby or as a step towards a career in dance.
LCDA trains dances in the Cecchetti method.
The timeless Cecchetti Principles of grace, balance and line form the basis of a sound training syllabus that has been developed to meet the needs of today’s modern child – teaching co-ordination, poise, confidence, rhythmical sense and musicality while ensuring that the process is still fun!
The fully qualified, carefully trained and registered teachers of Cecchetti Ballet Australia are committed to providing a stable and secure foundation for each student’s training – whether for purely recreational enjoyment or as the beginnings of a career in dance. The Cecchetti teacher training courses prepare them to teach with a safe and secure technical base, sound knowledge of anatomy and basic physical faults, good teaching practices and the historical background of the art of classical ballet. The syllabus has been carefully structured to ensure that the student receives a well-balanced training, with each grade for younger dancers designed to build progressively to the senior levels.
