The Grounds of Alexandria is a lush café, bringing hoards of people lining up for their posh breakfasts. If experience has proved anything, the key is to get there bright and early or else be prepared to be oh so very hungry as waiting in line is inevitable. The setting is reminiscent of a mini version of a farm village with lots of outdoor areas to sit down and enjoy the sun.
The Grounds of Alexandria is guaranteed to give you the most delicious and satisfying breakfast – ever! The delicious breakfast burger was served up on a delicious roll with trimmings of egg, bacon and lettuce. However, the polenta chips were very thick and a little bit bland.
One of us had also ordered The Health Plate – which was outstanding! A massive bowl of granola with vanilla yogurt, a cute little bottle of milk, rhubarb compote, strawberries, passion fruit, pear and kiwifruit, with a little jug of juice on the side.
It is a good looking venue; clearly a designer has been hard at work styling everything from the plants to the market stalls to the tin cans that are delivered to your table containing cutlery and coffee coloured serviettes. Service was very quick, which was a good thing too because previous times the service wasn’t that great. A few months back, I had ordered the stake sandwich – it not only came out cold with soggy bread, but they had gotten the drink order mixed up. It was good to not receive this type of food the second time around.
Overall the scenery is beautiful, the food seems to be a risk – depending on the day and the amount of people, and the waiters seem to be overwhelmed. However would definitely go a third time. I would give The Grounds of Alexandria a solid 4/5.
