Cordial Cafe — Restaurant in Sydney

March 2024 update

Still the same friendly personality, excellent food and accommodating service.

Had vegetarian fried rice, I could say it is still one of the best fried rice I've ever had.

Also made us a delicious special order vegetarian breakfast burger with avocado, hashbrown, and pineapple 😋

In short, friendly staff, nice food, and good coffee.

This place has an interesting menu, offering dishes from fry rice, chow mien to falafel roll.

Staff are patient and helpful if you have a dietary requirement.

We asked for weak latte, and it wasn't bitter at all. Maybe we can try it at full strength next time.

Their fry rice and chow mien are excellent, has that wok heat to the taste.

Definitely will...

Even when the toasted bun lost its crunch, I found it very tasty. Their current soup of the day, toasted zucchini, was also a pleasant surprise. The base has a lightness to it that couples so well with the sprinkled danish feta. I didn’t care for the zucchini noodles, but then again I hate “noodlefied” veggies in general (what’s the point???). The soup came with two pieces of easy white bread. Tldr:...

The hot chocolate I had today was beautiful. I have enjoyed the food here but it's not as good as it was. The food over the past 8 weeks has been ok, but it used to be so much better. Perhaps there has been a change of owner or chef. I'm happy to go back and see if it changes but I'm also happy to try...
