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 ate in the Cafe. The concierge was well organised and even though it was particularly busy, we were seated in a timely and calm manner. The service was prompt enough for a busy hour and the meals came out really quickly. They were hot and delicious and The Grounds Rose was lovely. The Snow White display was colourful and magical.
