Gus's cafe was a cafe located in Civic, Canberra, Australia. It opened in 1969 and later became the first outdoor pavement cafe in Canberra. It was one of the oldest and best known cafes in Canberra and one of the first European-style cafes in Australia. It had both outdoor and indoor dining areas. The cafe closed in January 2024, but is intended to be re-opened several years in the future.
History
The cafe was established by Augustin 'Gus' Petersilka (20 July 1918 – 23 October 1994)[1] who emigrated to Australia from Austria in 1951 and arrived in Canberra in 1962. Petersilka had difficulties with introducing this new style of dining to Canberra as it was against the regulations of the time for people to sit outside in a cafe or restaurant, and he had several well-publicised clashes with bureaucrats.[2]
A plaque on the pavement outside Gus's cafe marks the occasion of Gus Petersilka being made the Canberran of the Year for 1978. It reads:
Petersilka was commemorated on 14 November 2002, by having a street[3] named after him in the Canberra district of Gungahlin.[4] The cafe was heritage listed in 2011.[5]
On 11 March 2011, Gus's was added to the Australian Capital Territory Heritage Register. The listing requires the conservation of the "intangible social value attributed to the location Gus’ café" and a plaque dedicated to the cafe rather than the cafe itself.[6]
On 9 March 2012, Gus's was temporarily closed down by the ACT Health Directorate for serious food safety breaches and risks to the public.[7]
The cafe closed in late June 2016 and was sold.[5] It re-opened in September 2017 as Gus' Place.[8]
Gus' Place closed on 14 January 2024 ahead of the demolition of the building it was located in to build a luxury hotel. The developers intend to re-open the cafe at unspecified date.[9]

He had a lot of fights with bureaucrats there. One morning he found that his tables and chairs had been taken away on the back of a Department of the Interior truck. As a result of the public outcry, those tables and chairs were returned. .... In 1974 he had further problems with the department in relation to some awnings and some poles which did not have the correct approval. Again, the department did a raid; this time, I understand, a pre-dawn raid. Again, there was an outcry; and those goods were returned.
