Bona fides cafe, Sydney CBD, Sydney

Guest blogger edition

Tucked away on a side street of the CBD is Bona fides cafe. A smallish cafe which is located next to a small alley which doubles as outdoor seating. Due to the low light decor, its apparently been around for ages but I’ve never noticed it. However on this occasion we did notice it and decided to try it out.

Inside, it was pretty cozy and surprisingly was pretty busy when we got there. Luckily we got a table and placed our orders with the super friendly staff.

Stuffed zucchini flowers – stuffed with ricotta cheese and herbs -$18.90 – For the entree we got the zucchini flowers. Although the portions were a bit small with just 2 flowers, they were super tasty. The flowers had a crunchy battered coating and a tangy aioli dip.

Mixed grill for hungry wolf – char grilled selection of daily meats, chips and salad – $38.90 – I had a hankering for some protein and this menu item hit the spot perfectly. A medium- well done mini steak, marinated chicken tenderloins, kransky sausage and beef sausages. A side of garden salad provided the perfect accompaniment so that I could claim that this was a ‘balanced’ meal, hehe

Steak of the day, char-grilled grain fed steak, BBQ prawns, mash and mushroom sauce – $30.90 – The other main was the steak of the day. A beautifully cooked sirloin steak with two plump prawns sitting on top.
