MCA Cafe at Tallawoladah

Great location with amazing views. If you like people watching it’s a great spot also. Very reasonably priced for the location. A glass of wine and a salad only $30. Food is not restaurant quality though. Pre prepared salad from the morning and you add the dressing, which is ok, and it means there is not wait for your meal. Lots of seating indoor and outside on a terrace. No booking required just drop in. Overall really great place to have lunch with the family or a friend to linger the afternoon away.

I had the cauliflower soup and it was absolutely delicious!!! I put 3 stars for service because coffee came out last which I found was a bit weird! My soup was delicious but my husband ordered the lamb pie and he said it was cold and it wasn't great! Overall, I enjoyed it!

I sent back my $15 ‘fresh’ chicken sandwich twice as the Wonder White bread was clearly stale. Waiter told me it was fresh but I’m sure this had been pre-made and left out to dry up. Finally I suggested it got toasted which is not ideal for a sandwich with lettuce. It was pleasant sitting watching people but the location was so much better on the previous top floor. 11.5% weekend surcharge also ridiculous ! The wine by the glass was good and reasonably priced.

Great view to Opera House with ferries, people and grass! very good and calm cafe shop those want to rest after long walkings. Also good for a morning coffee before starting the day having a coffee near museum also keeps you good mood

I had heard such great things about the MCA Cafe and was looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. I ordered the ham and cheese toastie as did some of my friends. Although there were a number of premade sandwiches in the window, service was slow, and it took quite some time for our toasties to arrive. My other friends who ordered different items had just about finished their meal when ours arrived. Drinks were also finished way before the meals arrived. My toastie was cold in the middle, and the cheese was not melted properly. I did not speak to staff about it, though, because it took a while to come, and we were under time constraints to get back. We also noticed a discrepancy in the size of sandwiches, with mine being smaller. The toastie was filled well, but to me, it tasted bland. It was so unfortunate because the view, location and atmosphere are really nice.

Small selection of food but lots of staples if you want a quick bite and aren’t too fussy. Cinnamon cruffin and coffee, bacon and egg roll had a nice runny egg and was satisfying with the bbq sauce. Nothing to complain about, had indoor and outdoor seating too

Views food coffees Good cafe overlooking the opera house and harbour bridge in a cafe with coveted and uncovered areas to sit in. Opportunity to get some great photos as set up high without the cost of paying for fine dining. We had the ploughman platter and cauliflower salad. Self service order at counter. Good location as you can combine this with looking around the art gallery and other iconic attractions. Love your local guide -M❤️ Please follow me I need your support.

It’s raining outside so I sat down at this cafe took order thru its QR code placed on the table. Super order friendly. I ordered double shot mocha with almond milk… it’s amazing 🫶I love it 🥰 thanks. Staff is polite and welcoming. It’s a lovey surprise in a suddenly raining day.
