Kokoda Cafe Rhodes — Restaurant in Sydney

Nice coffee and lovely park-like surrounds. You wouldn't believe you're near Rhodes. Surrounded by gardens full of palms and the odd skink sliding through the undergrowth.

Despite the lovely location, the food was certainly not worth the exorbitant cost. Such a shame.

Pity I can't give less...
