This is one of those fantastic Italian cafes that hasn’t changed in 20 years. I had the grilled chicken salad and it was heaven! So simple, but so good as the ingredients are so fresh. Chicken is cooked beautifully. I would love to go back and try the pasta.

Quick, Full of Choice and a user friendly menu to suit all palettes catering to the traffic of locals and visitors and couched in predominantly Italian dishes! Love it here, strategically located at the junction points of Potts Point, Darlo and Rushcutters! It's been around for decades and has been a regular pitstop after work, after the walk of shame and early morning steak after a big one. We had the GRILLED CHICKEN breast with mash and carrots served with a Limone sauce! Nicely cooked and dominating portions that fill the plate.
The BISTECCA VELOCE involves a scotch fillet so there was no way I was going to choose anything else - YUM! You get to choose your side so I had mine with a garden salad and it was cooked perfectly.
The TROPICANA SALAD we had to share - love this as its got a mix of cos and rocket, tomato, boiled egg, grilled capsicum, sundried tomato and tuna with their home made dressing.
We were really surprised because the place was so busy with only about half a dozen or so staff managing all tables and the wait time was swift (bout 12 minutes actually) and we were at the furthest table outside in this large space and regularly checked on by service attendants! Great option for a time crunched work lunch and casual get together without breaking the bank!
One of the finest food I have eaten so far in Sydney. They provide customers with warm and delicious food. I was happy to found with this place(thanks to a close friend of mine). Also the restaurant might look bit odd from outside but trust me on this, the food is really good! And the portions are generous as well!! Finally, for student like me this is restaurant with budgeted menu.
Simple no fuss delicious cafeteria with famous salads and huge menu from focaccia to pasta and everything in between order at the counter and cash only
This cafe (or caffe) has been at its location, with lots of outdoor tables on the sidewalk and in view of the Coca Cola sign since 1980! Actually, this history is pretty charming. Surely they must be doing something right. And they are: it’s a fun, cheap cafe for the locals, with a focus on Italian food. Order off the brightly lit menus on the wall, and they’ll bring your food out to you.
A canteen style cafe, no frills food & service. We ordered an eggs with bacon & an eggs with smoked salmon, and that's exactly what you get plus half a tomato & toasts (lots of toasts!). The serving sizes are quite generous for the prices. The food tasted fine, but the coffees are superb! Great spot to sit outside to enjoy a good coffee & people watch!
Sir And Mlady Dine Out

Sir and Mlady popped in to Tropicana Caffe for breakfast. This is a famous place as it's the birth place of the world renowned Tropfest - the world’s largest short film festival!
It was a cold morning and we both decided to have a “hot hearty” meal. The venue is huge and airy and it certainly was popular! The numbers for the table are not on the table as you would expect – they are suspended above the table on the roof. How novel is this!
They have a great range of meals and there are displays with different cakes to choose from as well. There is an area where you can choose your sauce of choice, e.g. HP sauce, Tabasco and many more.
We ordered the all-important “first cuppa of the day”. Sir his usual skim flat white and Mlady her usual, a weak soy cappuccino. Coffees are good here and we certainly enjoyed these.
No matter what you get, you've got a safe bet with the food here. Large selection, yummy food, easy and quick service. Whenever I go out to eat with my partner it's never a discussion about where to go: It's always Tropicana. We're there I'd say twice a week. The pasta is amazing and they're happy to customize the toppings to what you want. The SALAD is what I love about them; best I've ever had. The atmosphere is fine, it's nothing to write home about. Bright florescent lighting with TV's everywhere playing music videos. Very casual. It's no romantic night out, but if what you want is quick, easy, GOOD food, then this place is for you.
The Tropicana provides the customer with an open and relaxed atmosphere and is a great place for a casual eat. Great pasta and Italian food, and delightful service with all friendly staff. Great coffee too.
The fish and chips is freshly cooked, love the very light batter, so tasty!!
Egg Benedict is average. Serve good coffee here!!!
Atmosphere is a bit like fast food restaurant, no frills.
Great Cafe with super friendly staff! Options of indoor/outdoor seating. Good selection of hot/cold beverages. Huge serving of milkshake to cool down on a hot summer day!
Love to come here for Breakfast, Coffee, Dinner. Food always come out quick. Many menu are my favourites. Staff always friendly. Love to see you guy open after lock down.
Excellent fish & chips with salad and a glass of house-white (which is always really good). The staff couldn’t be nicer.
