The Grounds of Alexandria
Over the last few decades, Sydney’s Inner East suburbs of Alexandria and Rosebery have undergone one of the most radical transformations in our city. What were almost exclusively industrial areas have been dramatically gentrified are now teeming with some of Sydney’s most popular eateries, boutiques and artisan purveyors galore.
Many of the original warehouses have been brilliantly converted and repurposed as trendy bars, urban distilleries, food emporiums, funky cafes and one of Sydney’s most iconic destinations, The Grounds of Alexandria. Our favourite eateries are Bread and Circus Wholefoods Canteen, Three Blue Ducks, Sushi Jones, Yulli’s Brews, No 5 Restaurant and Bar, Pino’s Vino e Cucina, Zeus Street Greek, Mentmore and Morley, Black Star Pastry, The Cannery, The Drink Hive and Archie Rose Distilling Co – so much to love!
Utterly lovely homeware stores abound; the divine Koskela – where everything is designed and made in Australia; ultra-modern Scandinavian and British homewares at Living Edge; mid-century modern at Blu Dot; Brosa Studio +; and the homeware institutions of Coco Republic, Matt Blatt and Space. Or journey through the past at Mitchel Road Antique and Design Centre – a 2,300sqm antique and collectable bazaar where you can easily lose yourself for half a day.
