The Grounds of Alexandria Cafe

Café
Alexandria
The organic garden at the Grounds of Alexandria Café, the source of much of the fresh produce used in the kitchen, is augmented by compost made from kitchen scraps. The restaurant’s green efforts also include rewarding its customers for carpooling and cycling: those arriving with four or more in one car get free coffee and valet parking; customers arriving on bicycles all get free coffees.

We were greeted with a warm smile and ambient romantic lighting by Augustina. A warm and professional front of house providing attention to detail. No request went unanswered. The Chefs provided us with a gastronomic feast for our eyes and our appetites. Fresh seafood, wine pairings and delicately balanced flavours for a curious palate like mine. My birthday was made extra special by Augustina who presented me with a beautiful surprise dessert of white chocolate mousee with a passionfruit and mango curd, topped with hand made Kaffir lime crisps… incredible experience all round! So grateful to have experienced Zinc
