Had a group booking for 4 girls for lunch and as soon as we all walked in, we are greeted with a smile and also the gorgeous greenery that surrounds us. The interior is full of florals and plants which adds to the atmosphere. We also had a swing chair to sit on with some cute cushions - cute touch. It's not our first time, some have dined here before, but it's still a cool place to visit. After lunch, we stroll through the laneway to see the pink floral set up that is The Chicest Mouse in Paris. Gorgeous! Then a coffee and cake at the cafe next store to top off our experience. It's always lovely to visit the Grounds of Alexandria!

So amazing to have another option for Portuguese food in Sydney! Chorizo pasta was a 10/10 and the bacalhau was absolutely delicious. Sardines entree also absolutely a must try the olive tapenade so fresh and the broa the perfect combination of fluffy and crunchy.
