Cafe Giulia

Still as delightful and delicious as ever... Been coming fot years and now whenever I visit Sydney I try to make it on for their sublime Smoked Salmon brekkie... Yum. Highly recommended Feb 2022 update: In Sydney for a few days and had to have my cafe Giulia fix. Had the usual and it did not disappoint. The smoked salmon brekky comes out looking like a magazine styled plate...visually a feast for the eyes, so clean and perfect on the plate. Taste wise I live the combination of flavours and textures. Great quality smoked salmon, perfectly poached eggs just how I like them, house made hash browns that are crisp in the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. With wilted spinach and the yummy dressing ... It's so fantastic to be able to come back and reliably have a dish I enjoy so much...I'll be back again and again lol

Cafe Giulia is a lovely little cafe situated right on the corner. It’s surprisingly big, usually quite busy and has a HUGE menu. I’ve gone solely for breakfast and coffee. Coffee is good, pretty standard and quite large portions! I’ve had the waffles and the pancakes. The waffles were delicious, with rhubarb and topped with a smooth and yummy mascarpone cream. They were quite crunchy so if you’re into a more Belgian style waffle they might not be for you. I also have had the pancakes here which were very yum- I went with the lemon & sugar pancakes (which I have never seen this combo before?) and it was really good! Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area!

I'd have rated this place 5 stars if not for one particular staff who seemed to be constantly grumpy (or simply wasn't happy to see me). Food wise, they're massive (hence the price), and typical classic cafe breakfast & brunch dishes with a little Greek / mediterranean touch. Good taste, but don't think there's an Oomph factor to warrant a repeat visit. Service wise: All of the staff were genial except for one. Long story short, we didn't realize that he gave us a dish that's different from our order (how could we know, all we know is it's also got salmon in it!), obviously looked unhappy and got us the right order afterwards. The next day I came (obviously too soon to forget me right?), and placed an order, the guy's face looked sour. Maybe it's just his perpetual grumpy complexion and I took it personally.
