The Grounds Keeper Cafe

Visited here on rainy Sunday, after being at the Ryde location a few times before. We came for a birthday breakfast, the food was sensational and the staff really lovely, lots of authentic and tasty options.

Great place to sit and relax. Good food, great coffee and plenty of dietary options including Halal, Gluten Free and Vegetarian.

Great Cafe next to kids water play area. Service was great and food was delicious.

Tucked away on this park is a wonderful cafe restaurant that takes Italy’s coffee seriously, gives its food generously and just seems to love being there. We have been there three times now - not from the area - and everyone really wants to make you enjoy your experience. The banquet was good value... but so is everything everything else we tried! The weekends can be crazy packed so book ahead... but if you have an hour or 2 during the week, take your time and enjoy!

Great for a quick bite with a difference (even with kids in tow). Good, tasty food backed up with nice coffee. Seems to be a local crowd as we observered the waiters knew many of the patrons. Service has a casual, family undertone doing away with the need to be trendy. It located in the middle of Ryde park making it ideal for the little ones. Public toilets are used vs. Using the restaurants. Not an issue but the absence of soap within doesn't make you feel the most hygienic. Resonably priced food. 3 people, 3 mains + coffees = $70.

We hosted our baby girl's naming ceremony at The Grounds Keeper Cafe in Ryde and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Our guests had a blast and people are still raving about the food. The food was more than plentiful and the service was 5 Stars! It's the type of place you return to because of the food, but it's the service and the little touches that you will remember (and that make your photos look awesome). Lorraine and her husband were absolutely delightful to deal with as we were planning this special day. While Nala, - the manager on the day - was running around during the whole event making sure everything went smoothly! Will definitely be coming back!

Great place for breakfast and lunch especially for those with kids as they can play on the playground. Coffee is not so great though and staff are inattentive to (1) get you seated and (2) take orders. Overall, the ambiance is nice because your have the park as a view wherever you may be seated. I do come here once in a while for the uniquely Middle Eastern touch on the dishes.

Was having high expectations based on reviews but pretty disappointed. Average coffee. The lamb tagine had maybe 2 pieces of lamb and tasted ordinary. Not value for money at all. Great setting though except noisy kids in the play area. Service was good.

A lovely space to sit and relax and enjoy a meal. The day we went, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. The only downfall was the birds coming in for scraps from the other tables.

Went here and the Shakshouka and Wagyu burger were delicious. However, the Salmon Special was clearly expired because it tasted off. We come here frequently and love the service and location. The prices are also well worth it. Will definitely return, despite the undercooked meat.
