Sardi Cafe

Brimming with charm, Sardi is a welcoming café that exudes an air of tranquillity and is anything but a conventional neighbourhood joint.

The dining area is furnished tastefully with artworks from local artists (all for sale) along with wooden furnishings and scattered greenery fostering a feeling of warmth and cosiness. This is further reinforced by the friendly and courteous service.

Designed by passionate owner Ashwani Kumar, the menu is unconventional - keeping things interesting whilst ensuring that there is something for everyone.

For health-fiends the Superfood Breakfast Bowl is a great option and features asparagus, kale, avocado, buckinis, chives, lemon, parsley, almond dukkha and a perfectly poached egg. 

If you're looking for something more decadent, the Lychee ‘n’ Coconut Hotcakes are a showstopper. A simple breakfast favourite that amalgamates the best things in life (such as ice cream). The pancakes were fluffy and moist and embellished with toasted coconut and cranberry granola, wonderfully caramelised lychee syrup and balanced with slightly tart coyo ice cream. Yum! (FYI: These hotcakes come in a stack of three but we requested a shorter stack, which the cafe graciously accommodated).

Sardi certainly delivers a lovely dining experience. The ambience is relaxed, the service courteous and the food is delicious and very well priced.
