Came here on the 26th of July for my birthday for dinner, as always this place never disappoints! We had several cocktails and drinks too which were made very nice by their bartender, and a bonus birthday song sung by one of the staff hahah. Will be back for more! Thanks for everything.

Intrigued by beautiful photos I saw on Instagram, I visited this Restaurant to try their dessert platter for two. Looks even better than on the photo! It definitely brings a nice element of surprise when it arrives on the table. I love the perfect balance of flavours and textures from all the elements on the plate. The strawberry gelato and raspberries bring enough tanginess to balance the sweetness from other elements. The tiramisu is great and the vanilla & espresso pannacotta is even better! I really appreciate the strong coffee flavour in it. As strong as their Lavazza coffee.

The food quality here is pretty nice. Friendly staff too! The only turn offs are when I order takeaways. Their pizzas sometimes take up to an hour of waiting time, and you have waiters apologising to you at least 3 times. Nonetheless It's a lovely place for brunch.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food at Lilly's. Shopping centre restaurants can be hit or miss but Lilly's is definitely a hit. Their servings at HUGE and for a very good price as well. Their service is really good and staff were very prompt with taking orders. Since we went just as the kitchen opened there was a longer than normal wait time for the dishes to come out as they were still doing prep. I recommend their pizzas as I think it would be a hit for the whole family.

This is one of the best cafes/restaurants in Rhodes Waterside mall. It's right at the entrance with a lovely indoor and outdoor sitting area. I've ordered the waffles out here and they were mindblowing. The hot chocolate is pretty good too and they also have really fast service. The perfect place to go for a heavy breakfast!

Walking in here with no expectation, I was pleasantly surprised!

I had a zucchini pasta dish and it was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and great combination of flavours, it really was a well-rounded dish. Would not hesitate to get this again!

Fish of the day dish was salmon and what a sight! It was plated beautifully and came out on a massive plate. Fish cooked to perfection and the accompanying salad was great also. Would also recommend this.

Can’t say much for the meat dish but probably a little overpriced for the size. My friend seemed pretty neutral about it.

Service was pretty good, and it was all round a pleasant experience.

It is located in Rhodes shopping centre. Stopped by here after lunch and decided it was time for a coffee break and a snack.

Order and pay at the counter. Number given to you and the food/drinks brought out to you. Service was friendly.

Had a Mocha and Latte. The coffees were nice. The Pistachio Biscotti whilst it tasted nice had a bit of an artificial taste to it too. I should've known from the bright green colour it had!

Lilly's does a very decent coffee. I know people can be put off by going to a cafe in a shopping centre for their cuppa joe but I'm glad I tried it out. I always end up going out of my way to go in to the centre to get coffee from Lilly's.

Liliy's Cucina is a great place in Rhodes to grab an after-work cocktail along with some hors d'oeuvres. I tried their Mojito, which was very refreshing ....bruschetta , simple and divine..... caramaized figs, a must try and the zucchini flowers which CANNOT be missed!

Over the years I've visited Lilly's many times for a casual latte or capuccino but up until a few weeks ago I had never eaten at Lilly's. I've paid Lilly's so little attention I didn't even know it'd added 'Cucina' to the end of it's name and expanded it's menu offering. If not for a Zomato tour I'd have no idea Lilly's had re-invented itself.  

Straight up - Lilly's food is delicious. We tried a variety of dishes and started with bruschetta which was fantastic. It was just like the bruschetta I've eaten in Italy (and boy did I stuff myself over there). Fresh Roma tomatoes, a touch of garlic, olive oil and vinegar mixed together and served on crusty Italian bread. Yum!

Then out came the anti-pasto platter which was hugely generous, the way it should be! Piled with the most moreish bits of prosciutto, roast zucchini, roast eggplant, salami, artichoke and cheeses, we crammed our mouths with all of it!

The figs were melt-in-your-mouth material, perfectly caramelised in honey and perfectly matched with a small rolled up slice of prosciutto. Saltiness and sweetness perfectly in balance. Yum. I could eat this anytime.

Finally, the highlight. The zucchini flowers. Stuffed with ricotta cheese and deep fried in a light batter, it was the perfect end to our meal at Lilly's.

Service was lovely and we were well looked after. I'll be visiting again soon. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely dinner here tonight, the penne chicken breast pasta was exceptional! The seafood was fresh and the crumb batter on the salt and pepper squid was really good, not like the generic batter you usually find.

Michael was very friendly and helpful, he really knew the menu.

Highly recommended!

To kick off our Zomato food tour, we sat down for some wonderful Italian entrees at Lilly’s Espresso & Cucina in the Rhodes Waterside shopping centre. After looking at their cocktails, I couldn’t go past the Mojito, which we all agreed was so sweet and light, and a great start to the night. I also tried a sip of rose, which was delightful as well, and a good compliment to the dishes we were about to sample.

Lilly's has re-invented itself to become an Italian all-rounder. Not only it's your favourite cafe for breakfast and lunch, it now caters for a decent Italian Cucina for dinner. They are also licensed to serve wine and cocktail. An Italian chef once told me "A day without a wine is like a day without sunshine"

We started our pleasant journey with Bruschetta. There is nothing better for a starter than the crusty bread topped with generous serving of diced tomato garnished with spices and lemon juice. Then came the antipasti platter, homemade bread, olives, figs and stuffed zucchini flower which is hands down the clear winner today. I also like the figs, layered roasted eggplant, Fresh Buffalo Mozarella and the Prosciutto. Worth to mention that Michael (the manager) always comes with big smile and good recommendations. Needless to say the service is perfect. Will definitely come back for Pizza, Pasta e Dolce o Vino.

Don't be fooled into thinking Lilly's is just another cafe sitting within Rhodes Waterside. Lilly's is a mighty food institution perfect for any lunch or dinner occasion.

Their antipasti menu is phenomenal, I recommend sitting there and just eating your way through everything on the antipasti list, and of course ordering some stuffed zucchini flowers too!

Sit back and enjoy some incredible cocktails or healthy juices if you please while being waited on by the wonderful Lilly's staff. A fabulous choice for any time of the day and to suit whatever mood you're in.

When you hear the word espresso, you don't really expect it to be open for dinner, but you'd be surprised! 

With an excellent range of antipasti options which source some great tasting ingredients and likewise with their wide range of main menu items, Lilly's stands as a great place to wind down after a day of shopping, or simply a nice catchup before the movies.

Service is great as well, so be sure to check it out!

PSA: The stuffed zucchini flowers is a must

A funky cafe tucked inside Rhodes shopping mall with an enticing menu. It looks even more tempting as it looks like they brought the mouth watering food from Masterchef. We went for their dessert and from their selections of panna cotta, mango parfait and eton mess, decided on panna cotta. The panna cotta itself was perfectly balanced but even after having a wobble it was slightly dense because of the buttermilk. However it tasted even better with the raspberry granita, caramelised figs and the crunch of the walnuts. The neutral flavour of the panna cotta was elevated further with the tangy granita and the sweetness of the caramel. The cappuccino that i ordered was a strong blend and didnt overpower the taste of the dessert. Have to return for the other amazing food in their menu.

First time at Lilly's and we had a great dining experience. We ordered salad with mozzarella cheese and peaches, pork belly with apple sauce and the spaghetti marinara. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. For dessert, we had the panna cotta with strawberry ice cream. Loved it.

Been there for multiple times, apparently it's a popular place and hence why it's always busy when I go there.
Decent coffee and food is mostly good, the crispiness of their bacon and egg has been quite consistent. Good place to go for weekend brunch.

Cute cafe in Rhodes shopping centre. We ordered the smoked salmon sandwich with avocado, lettuce, cream cheese, tomato on rye bread with a side of chips for $17 and a Cajun chicken wrap with avocado, tomato, cucumber and a side of salad for $17. They were both very nice but I think a little overpriced. The chicken needed a little more seasoning.

With a large "Lilly's neon sign you wont miss this place! located next to Oliver Brown in the Rhodes Shopping Centre.

I saw a sign that said $15 for pasta or pizza takeaway and because i didnt want to sit and eat dinner i decided to trial it out.

Cant remember the exact name of the pizza but it had chicken, capsicum, olives, thinly sliced potatoes drizzled with olive oil.The base was soft and doughy, i had to add some salt but other then that it was tasty. (i tend to add more salt then required :D)

Staff was pleasant and food service was quick. 

It appears they have an extensive wine menu too.

Lilly's is located in the Rhodes Shopping Centre and has seating inside and outside. The seats nearby the entrance may give you too much of the noise from the shopping centre. By day, you will often see lots of people in Lilly's during the day with coffee and cake. There's a nice big display of their cafes and other treats which often look tempting. By night, you will see lots of pizza and pasta dishes all across the restaurant.

For a catchup with an old friend, we decided to brunch at the newly renovated Lilly’s Espresso & Cucina at Rhodes! I opted for the Big Breakfast, which normally comes with sourdough, eggs, bacon, roast tomato, chorizo and mushroom. However, I personally don’t like bacon and tomato, so the staff were super accommodating and substituted avocado for me instead of those two options. I got my eggs poached, and they were perfectly cooked, soft and runny on the inside and lovely drizzled over the bread. The chorizo was also delicious, and the fresh avocado cut through the heavier components of the meal.

It is so convenient to live near a good selection of cafes and eateries on a lazy long weekend. Since the weather was not-so-Spring-friendly, my brother and I decided to cure our hunger pangs at Lilly's Cafe (formerly Dolci Dolci ) . Whenever I walk past,

Best coffee in Rhodes. Hands down.. A suburban shopping centre cafe, but nonetheless credit should be given. I work in Rhodes, and will say that this is the best takeaway coffee in the area. Turkish raisin toast hits the spot as well.
