Cafe Kouzina, Australia Square forecourt, Sydney
Wednesday 7 December, 2005

This city cafe is located opposite Ryan's Bar in the Australia Square forecourt. It has indoor & outdoor seating & thankfully we sat indoors as the temperature today was in the high 30's.

There is a good selection of salads & pizzas available and a decent selection of daily specials. The table behind us had their meals delivered as we received our menus. I couldn't resist, I had to ask, 'what did you order?' The dish in question was the lamb special - presented in an iceberg lettuce leaf - it looked fantastic. However, the size of the meal and the heat outside meant lunch was going to be light.

I opted for the chicken caeser salad - it was enormous and I left about half of it - what a waste. Several of my work colleagues ordered the octopus salad - the verdict...chewy and they had sore jaws afterwards. The ham & cheese pide was just a ham & cheese toasted turkish sandwich, the roasted vegetable salad was too oily and the schnitzel burger with chips looked big enough for four people. In short, the servings are way too large for lunchtime.
