Gorgeous atmosphere, friendly staff great food and great sweets, I highly recommend this beautiful place.
Always visit The Grounds every time I’m in Sydney. It’s an amazing place with fabulous food, as well as excellent customer service. Highly recommend - love it!!
What a truly beautiful experience Th Grounds of Alexandria offers.
Upon arriving in Sydney from Melbourne, I was constantly told to visit this place - and it did not disappoint.
Venue: just wow, you just want to take a photo of everything. We had our brunch in The Garden, and it’s visually beautiful.
All corners of this venue are very well thought out, and visually pleasing.
Even had animals in a pen and a beautiful flower shop. The carts are a beautiful addition as was the ‘kissing booth’. A photo opportunity at every turn.
Food: tasty food, well presented on the plate. Took a bit long to come out, but wasn’t too fussed.
Drinks and coffee were pretty awesome too.
Service: great service. Very much liked the lady at the entrance managing the people coming in, making sure people adhering to Covid restrictions.
Table service was also good, attentive and pleasant to deal with.
Overall, highly recommend this place - definitely should be on everyone’s list.
Indeed a place not to be missed visiting upon in Sydney. Amazing themes everytime you visit and i loved the classic avacado on toast 😋
As a popular local and tourist destination, expect to be in the waiting list to dine at their cafe/restaurant.
Their fully online ordering/paying system is great. No need to call the waiter to order food. Just scan the menu via your smartphone.
Coffee was amazing and food was not bad. A little bit pricey in my opinion but I think people mostly dine there to enjoy the ambience.
The burgers and chips are delicious for being slightly overly priced. Decent portion size too. The hot chocolate from the cafe/drinks place is nice too. A lovely atmosphere to always eat here. Will recommend and come back.

We attended a full day work conference at The Grounds. The spaces are fabulous - lots of beautifully divided areas with lots of natural foliage and rustic furniture. There are beautiful flowers for sale and the grounds are an instagrammers dream. While many areas are under cover the venue is largely outdoors so we really struggled with the heat and humidity.
Food was excellently dinne - a good variety of healthy options, decent coffee and plenty of variety.
We were a group of 350 so while we felt they were a little overwhelmed in the kitchen no one went hungry.
Definitely worth a visit
One of the top places to visit when touring Sydney. Not only is the food excellent, but the service, interior design and atmosphere is to die for. Situated in a warehouse-like building, with a beautiful garden, their decorations and stalls change by the season which makes the table wait super enjoyable and fun. Definitely worth the hype!
The important thing to know before one visits this place is - the Grounds of Alexandria is a huge place and it has got three restaurants at the same location and each restaurant set up is quite unique from each other. I loved the one which is called a pottery.
This cafe was quite good but doesn't have AC and it can be a very bad experience to dine during afternoons especially when it's summer.
Food was quite good, even presentation of the food was good.
Certainly, it's one of the places to be visited in Sydney.
An amazing place where to go. I’ve been here few times and I really like the environment. There are different food and drink places to pick from, surrounded by flowers, nature and a couple of animals. Even if it’s often busy, it’s a place that calms me down.
Food is not bad but I think it's a bit overhyped. Wait times are long. Bathroom facilities are minimal. Petting zoo is nice.
I love the grounds of Alexandria, mainly because of the beautiful decorations in accordance to different events or movies. I really enjoyed the winter themed one in representation of the new movie Frozen. The food there is good and tasty, and service was quick. Would come here again.
The food was very nice and it's presentation.
The staff were all friendly too. Very nice and clean restroom. The restaurant theme is artistic too.
My only concern is we are still in pandemic but there are a lot of people in the flower aisle walking and taking pictures. I guess they should limit the number of people walking there. It didn't feel safe.
Recommended for couple, group or family.
The grounds are really beautiful so, it was no surprise that it was busy with lots of people taking photos (including me!) We had to wait 20 minutes for a table in the cafe, but brunch was lovely. The choc & hazelnut shake was in particular delicious! Prices on the high side, but not extortionate. Friendly staff and service. The parking was a bit difficult, perhaps because it was such a busy day.
An ideal spot to dine out as well as hang out too. Great for events, casual meet-ups or walk ins too. All ages can enjoy this place and keep themselves entertained. Their themes keep changing every month, so keep a look out on their site for updates. They do cater for various dietary requirements including halal too. People are welcome here even for photos only too.
It's a pretty place with really nice atmosphere. However, I'd say the food (we ordered baked eggs) was just average. We liked the french toast though - maybe their bread and desserts are better than their savouries? Also, your experience could depend on where you are seating, so I recommend booking in advance to perhaps get a better table. We went at 10.30 am on a Monday but it was still crowded, so go there early if you can. Still worth visiting to see the garden with different themes
Alice in Wonderland theme, which my 70 year old mum loved. She absolutely enjoyed celebrating her birthday there. Next time we are booking the little room upstairs through the spiral staircase . We went early before 12 which was easy to walk around. Very popular place. ❤️👍🏼
It makes a lot of difference to order take away food. There are tables outside and it's very nice too, the food was delicious and the coffee very well prepared. The place is very nice inside and outside to walk.
the only thing that would change would be that they bring the drinks
with the food all together as we asked. but everything else is fine, we love coming here for breakfast.
Beautiful place just to even visit, though I would’ve loved to visit during one of their more known themes (eg. Alice in wonderland, specific Disney movies). Seemed like it was currently Easter themed with all the colours. | First time finally coming here and it seems like a chill place to be. | There was a cafe but don’t try it. You can book private dining. Saw people having little events are cute lunches with friends - bringing along food and decor. Also saw a wedding. | Did order the “fresh lemonade” but.. it was fizzy and just tasted like solo which I was very disappointed in as I love fresh lemonade. - my high rating for this place is the picturesque and vibes | Driving? You’ll find street parking close by
