This post could also be titled “Quest for the perfect breakfast”. Even though this isn’t the first place we visited on our honeymoon, I’m sharing this first because I was so determined to go there. I had read about The Grounds of Alexandria on a blog a few years ago and I promised myself that if I ever went to Australia I’d visit “The Grounds” as the locals call it. Fortunately my husband (it still feels funny to call him that) didn’t mind commuting for 45′ in Sydney to get breakfast because it was totally worth it.
The Grounds are on the outskirts of Sydney so you won’t see many tourists here. We went very early in the morning so the busiest place was their cafeteria with people either enjoying breakfast or grabbing a coffee to go. Since we were starving we decided to refuel first and then walk around.
WHAT WE ORDERED
We both had the most original hot chocolate ever. It’s called Deconstructed Hot Chocolate. You get a mug “stained” with chocolate and a beaker with warm milk. There’s also some powder cocoa on the tray. Mix it all and you get the most delicious lab experiment ever.
We paired that with Mixed Berry, Apple & Coconut Cobbler and House Smoked Salmon on Brioche. One is sweet, the other savoury but equally scrumptious. We both agreed that this is the most delicious breakfast we’ve had in our lives.
Then met some new friends like the goats Ernie and Bert or Russell Crow (can you guess what animal is that?) among others…
As you can imagine, it was really hard for me to leave this place. I could be very happy if I moved in here.

This place looks like my kind of place! I would love to go there, but I don't think that will ever happen…too far. I will have to appreciate it through pictures.
This looks amazing! Australia is on my bucket list and I'm so happy you got to go there, so now I know where to go when I go someday! 🙂
