Jardin St James - Sydney

Slowly becoming a regular here! A great crepe and galletes spot with plenty of variety to checkout. Super convenient location lovin’ the outdoor area and the bunker like indoor space!

Coffee here is consistently divine. No matter how busy it is, they deliver every cup to perfection!<br/ <br/ You can't say no to their pastries. Everything made in house fresh. Definitely go for their baby banana loafs so cute delicious!<br/ <br/ We had lunch here as well, in the beautiful courtyard. The food was cooked to perfection!

Lovely little French coffee cart near St James Station. A coffee cart selling sandwiches, croissants and pastries. I got a small croissant extremely nice and fresh. I also got a cold brew with milk. The staff were extremely nice and also French so it as all quite fitting really.

We were here for a celebratory long lunch and our dining experience at Jardin was really pleasant. We were greeted warmly and settled comfortably in one of the outdoor tables. The staff and the food were authentic French. We ordered a Tuna Nicoise salad, Croque-Madame, salmon en cocotte, Gratin Dauphinois and desserts. The outstanding dish of the day was definitely the salmon en cocotte! The salmon skin was crispy and it was served in a le creuset mini cocotte. The dreamy creamy potato gratin was an excellent side dish. <br/ <br/ This is a good French cafe and we found the service and food was outstanding!

What a great set of premises Jardin is. The inside sandstone area has tables off the impressive main hallway, an open area out the front in the sunshine or a quieter area off to one side below street level with water feature and foliage. It's worth visiting to admire the building and the respect the restaurant has for it. The food is presented in keeping. My deconstructed brioche and fruit was pretty to look at but lacked a little punch on flavour. My companion for breakfast had scrambled eggs which were typical French; rich and deliciously buttery. Service was good and all the staff were very friendly. Decision was made to return again for a lunch before we had paid the bill. It's unfortunate it's not open on the weekends.
