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.

The food was delicious and the service good. It was a bit noisy however the space was packed.

Get the Gnocchi! They were amazing! Prawn linguine is in a tomato sauce although it’s not really described that way on the menu. My Eye Filet was good to a perfect medium rare. Overall a very good meal with fantastic service.
