If you're ever in Sydney, I suggest you put 'The Grounds of Alexandria' on your list of go-to places.
It's a popular place that serves delicious food, specialty coffee, hosts little markets, has a florist selling beautiful bunches of flowers and has a garden to explore.
Ticking all of the above, this urban sanctuary is an Instagrammers dream. And if you check its geotag on Instagram, there are plenty of people flocking to post their snaps.
Built into the remnants of a heritage-listed warehouse and expanding into an enormous courtyard and organic garden in Sydney’s West, there is always something to see at The Grounds. It actually used to be a pie factory - to all my Aussies out there, do you know the iconic Four'N Twenty brand? Yep it used to their pie factory!)
how adorable is this little 'dog parking' spot?!
You should even visit their bathroom. It's stable-themed and worth a look (whether you need to pee or not - clearly I just went in for the photo hahaha)
The Food
So the downfall of this incredibly popular place is that you will be dealing with crowds. Which means a long wait. That said, I do have to say it is worth the wait because not only was the food mouthwatering, but the service was friendly and efficient.
Every dish you see here was 10/10 flavourful
