Olympic Park Dining Options

Let’s face it, you are on a vacation and cooking is not high up on your list of things to do. Thai, Vietnamese or Indian dine-in or take-away is short distance away on Australia Avenue. Mellow Me Cafe on Australia Avenue offers a wide variety of healthy and indulgent options for the cafe connoisseur, paired with a down to earth and mellow vibe which is very true to it’s name. For more fine dining options or indulgent desserts - head to the Lindt Cafe in Homebush, or the Marina Square shopping centre. Top Ryde, Concorde and Rhodes are all neighbouring suburbs replete with many dining options - fine dining or otherwise, all of which are just 5-10 min drive away from your comfy pad. And our personal favorite: If you do nothing else, you must visit Koi Dessert Kitchen, 11 mins away via the A3, Shop 3/62-66 Blaxland Rd, Ryde NSW 2112. Their indulgent treats are worth the ‘weight’ - if I’m planning a last meal, I’d be picking my dessert from here.
Everything looks amazing, and tastes even better. Dessert that meets the two criteria for today's world - definitely instagram worthy, your friends will die of envy. And tastes Divine
