Redleaf Cafe — Restaurant in Sydney

This is Sydneys hidden secret gem! It is the sort of place you want to tell everyone about because it’s so great, but also tell no-one about because you don’t want everyone else coming and ruining the magic!

It’s so relaxed and friendly, I haven’t found anywhere else like it in Sydney. With incredible views!

I chose a selection of the sides to build my own plate, which was ideal, and I am now obsessed with how they do their mushrooms!! I have no idea how they can get them tasting so good, but highly recommend adding their mushrooms to anything you order! My friend had the eggs benny, which also looked delicious. We also shared a side of fries, which are new to the menu. I don’t usually like fries but these weren’t greasy or smelly at all. Perfect!

It was a weekday so it wasn’t too buy and so the chef even brought out our meals personally, which was so lovely. Everything is 100% fresh too, even their baked beans and corn fritters are entirely home made from scratch in the kitchen! So there are no nasties! Weekends can get busy but that’s inevitable with such a perfect location, good food and at a good fair price!

I don’t eat out much because its not universally more expensive wherever you go, but here is the one place I would treat myself to again because the food is great, the staff are lovely and the setting is like nothing you’ve seen before. I highly recommend everything we had on the menu (mushrooms, fries etc) but the chicken salad looked like it was also popular and so I may try that next time… will certainly...

I've never had to wait 45 minutes for a kids cheeseburger.

The Redleaf Cafe is located by a beautiful location however the service, food and atmosphere do not live up to the views. We arrived to the cafe after our swim at 1:30, waited in line for 30 mins and waited another 45 minutes until our meal arrived. The meal was not complex and arrived quite squished and disappointing. It was a kids cheeseburger and a bacon and egg roll. The general atmosphere around the cafe was quite chaotic and everyone was trying to be patient but customers who ordered after us were informed food had run out. Some customers were ignored by staff. At the 30 minute mark, my partner asked a staff member on an update on our food and we were told they didn't know what was happening. Really disappointed, it was an extremely hot day and we waited almost an hour for food, and had arrived more than an hour before. It had really dampened our day. I hope we just caught them on a busy day where they were...

If I could I will give zero star. The service is extremely poor. Very rude and racism. Treat Asian customers and locals very differently. When order over the counter, a guy not from Nepal said I am very busy and gives indication to a French lady not let her take order. However, when serve other customers, he keeps saying thank you, sorry for waiting. He even said fxxx word behind the counter when customers are around. Unbelievable in this area, how I could ever encounter such a rude people like that. They also have different menu on the wall and the menu at the counter. When I pointed out, he just behaves oh sorry I don’t understand you and said we are very busy. There is no intention to serve customers. Never come back because of this guy from Nepal. Words will be escalated to ensure the cafe standards match with one of the top premium suburbs in Sydney. Please have someone educated to serve customers, this guys...
