#SydneyTravelDestinations Beautiful interior, great atmosphere, delicious coffee & desserts. It's a luxurious cafe! First of all, the coffee is delicious and the acidity is a little strong, but it's delicious acidity, so it's okay! It's a delicious and great coffee that's hard to come by in Korea~ The iced coffee is also delicious, but it's unique. It comes in a long glass cup with frozen square ice cubes, and a cup of espresso and cold milk are served together! It's a way to pour espresso and milk into a cup with coffee ice, but milk in iced coffee? It was delicious!💖😳 📍The Grounds of the City Shop RG 12/500 George St, Sydney NSW 2000 Australia

Located in the heart of CBD, the grounds of the city is a Parisian styled all day dinner that offers a lovely experience. Coffee was really good but I would have liked it slightly hotter (I think it’s just my personal preference, it was a cold day).There are few dishes more satisfying to sit down to than a slow-cooked lamb shank, one that boasts a combination of flavours which warm you and bring back fond memories of my grandparents cooking many years ago, for lamb was very much the tradition then. The smoked trout omelette with the capers in the little jar looked and tasted beautiful. #australiatrip #alldaydining #sydney

The atmosphere inside reminds me of an old fashioned Tea house, the ambience is perfect. We had the Continental Breakfast, very highly recommend, everything was perfect, the croissant melts in your mouth. The Coffee 100% passed my expectations. A great place for a cozy date, hangouts with family, friends. Also a good place for a meeting. I had the steak baguette, which was a very tasty but needed far more seasoning. Ordered a few dishes to share between the four of us. Service was slow as there weren’t many waiting staff for weekend peak hours. Food wise is okay but nothing really stands out for me, the exception would be grilled zucchini flowers. #australiatrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood #cafe #sydney
