During a recent trip to Sydney we decided to visit The Grounds of Alexandria in Alexandria, NSW, for breakfast in The Cafe. This was our first visit and it did not disappoint. We could not believe how busy this place was and we understand why, the food and service is amazing, ok, so we went on a Sunday during their weekend market, so it may not be quite so busy through the week. We joined the queue of hungry diners waiting to be allocated a table, we got a buzzer thing that buzzes when a table is available, so you are free to wander around the grounds and market without fear of losing your space. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the market where there were stalls selling fresh produce, fresh cut flowers, clothing, soy candles, fresh ground coffee and much more, delicious aromas were everywhere.
Kevin Bacon, the very large resident pig, looked very comfortable sound asleep in his house.
Our buzzer went and we headed to the cafe where we were shown to our seat, we ordered a cup of tea which came in delightful copper type tea pots.
Everything on the breakfast menu sounded divine, Scott ordered the Chef's brekkie pan which included two free range poached eggs, a massive thick slice of bacon, tomatoes, button mushrooms and chicken chipolatas, drizzled in hollandaise sauce.
I had the brekkie board, which came with two free range poached eggs, chicken sausages, tomatoes, avocado, smoked salmon, marinated feta, asparagus and sourdough bread, the plates were massive, much as it pains me to say, I couldn't finish it all, we didn't need to eat again until tea time.
Before leaving we just had to look around the French-inspired patisserie and bakery, with all the delicious looking sweet and savoury delights, it was hard not to buy something.
It may have been our first time there, but it certainly won't be our last, next
visit to Sydney, The Grounds of Alexandria will be seeing us for lunch.
