      I was on a nice walk from Bondi to Bronte. The walk is 5 stars BTW, stunning views and lovely to people watch!

      Half way through the walk, decided we were hungry and made a stop here. We opted to sit outside which in hindsight was not the best idea, the street was fairly busy and the buses came often and were LOUD.

      The food and cocktails were pretty good. The Negroni hit the spot. The Kingfish ceviche was excellent. I ended up ordering the Dal and Roti dish which was ironic since we were right across the street from an Indian restaurant. However, it was surprisingly delicious. The chocolate dessert was meh.

      Service was slow and there were moments where we were left wondering if they forgot that we were outside. Overall, I would recommend it but sit inside.

      Enjoyed a delicious breakfast this morning in Bronte. The staff are very friendly and kind, we were warmly greeted and seated promptly.

      There is an option for indoor and outdoor seating which I loved. The menu isn't huge but has good variety, we highly enjoyed both meals and drinks.

      Personally I really appreciated the great selection of teas! As a non-coffee drinker it's always great to taste a blend that isn't just green, jasmine or peppermint.

      Overall this is a quality cafe that I'd highly recommend visiting! I could see this spot being very busy on the weekends though.

      Thanks for the relaxing morning!

      Our mission was to find somewhere to eat within walking distance to Waverley Cemetery...probably not everyone's mission. This place is flanked by one restaurant that is being renovated and another that seems to have salads and limited seating. It was packed so they must be doing something right. We were here relatively late for lunch at 1:30pm but lunch is advertised until 3:00pm.
      We were offered a table in the street so we took it but then the waitress came back after a while and said that a table had become free inside. No problem. There are two rooms. One room is apparently better for a group. We were in the other watching the cooks and barista work tirelessly. The waitresses didn't stop either and they were more than helpful with the menu and seating people from outside to indoors as tables became free.
      The lunch menu is divided into big and small. You can download and look at the menu from the website. This will also give you an idea of the prices. Small included oysters sold singly..you can't get much smaller than that. The big are a good size with a price to match; not much change out of $30 for most. We both had the chicken curry and were not disappointed. It had a whole lot of different sweet, hot flavours (and I thought I tasted blue vein cheese as well).
      We finished with coffee that was also good.

      Stopped by this little place during the Bondi to Coogee walk since we heard it had good recommendations.
      Lunch was indeed very tasty. The place was thriving with people but did not have to wait long to sit.
      Well looked after and no rush put upon us.

      Three Blue Ducks has got an incredible reputation online making a lot of Sydney's must visit lists yet the last few reviews I read on here had me questioning was it worth it's hype.

      The venue gets incredibly busy on the weekends apparently so I decided to go visit midweek when I was lucky enough to have a free day from work. Surprisingly it was still pretty busy considering it was 8am on a Wednesday. I did get a seat straight away though. The venue is a lot bigger then I imagined with two separate rooms inside and seating outside.

      The cafe has a nice vibe with an alley through the middle which is covered in stylish graffiti that leads to bathrooms as well as a chicken coop if your interested to see where your eggs are coming from.

      The menu is definitely a lot more expensive then most Sydney Cafe's. Everything substantial on the breakfast menu costs over $22 which is definitely high.

      I decided to order the Golden Chai to start with which is Chai Latte prepared with Turmeric and almond milk. It's got a unique yellow flavour and the taste is pretty good and Turmeric is perfect for joint health and this is a good option for gym junkies.

      Breakfast choices are good and I went for the Kedgeree. It was boiled curried hard rice served with nuts, apricots and boiled egg. The dish was beautiful and came dolloped with yogurt on the side. It was a unique spin on breakfast. It was presented rather aesthetically as well.

      Three Blue Ducks isn't somewhere you would make as a regular breakfast spot I don't think but I did enjoy it. Perhaps if I was to go back it would be to enjoy the lunch menu. Definitely overpriced but that's what happens when you got a reputation and clearly the people still want what's on offer because it's getting people in the door.

      We had an outstanding meal here. Well worth the arduous walk up from the beach. I had their pulled, slow cooked lamb in Mediterranean herbs. Just the perfect amount of mint, corriander and spices. Topped off with lettuce (light toasted on range-top) and marinated onions. The flavors just exploded in my mouth. Exceeded my expectations.

      Quite disappointing - Been there for lunch, the menu is not impressive and quite pricey. I ordered the special - slow cooked pork with braised fennel...it was quite blend despite the amount of fresh herbs. Too dry overall. The fennel was not cooked enough for my liking...and 35$ for this dish ! A rip off !

      Maybe breakfast is better...but most options are above 20$ and I am not even sure the taste would be there...

      One of these places you wonder why they are that popular !

      Pork with fennel - 35$ !

      The cafe was not what I had expected, after hearing all the hype.

      Had lunch and service was slow - waited half an hour for our food.

      The lunch options were priced between $22 to $33 ( with the exception of a steak sandwich for $19) - very expensive for a cafe on a main road with views of the street and bus stop.

      I ordered the chickpeas, goats cheese and smashed eggs dish and it was very ordinary.

      It's in my area. Have been a few times.

      I follow them on IG. I like their idea.

      But there is just too much attitude which is quite obviously as I pick up on the energy.

      Not a fan. Do recommend it to ppl. But can't say I've ever had a thoroughly enjoyable experience here.

      Lose the attitude & it will be great.

      Sooooo....you can gather by the type of clientele they attract. Best bit abt this place is that Iggys is a few doors down. Go there for realness!!
