Dare - The Rocks

It is a quaint little cafe in The Rocks.. quite busy on Sunday afternoons. We had a quick brunch .. the service was good ..

Such a beautiful location to have a meal on a warm sunny day. The chai latte was beautiful. Every dish was beautifully presented. I had the vegan plate which was a little bland but overall I was happy with the meal.

I like this Turkish style cafe. It only has outdoor seating but it’s nice for sunny and warm weekend.Ordered meneman and added sausage for extra $4. The meneman itself was delicious but I didn’t like the sausage. The Turkish bread was tasty. Coffee was good too. I also ordered almond coconut cake and coconut cake with raspberry jam. The one with jam was better. The almond coconut was a little watery. The staff was friendly but the service was slow.

My brief experience at DARE was delightful and one which I would enjoy again. DARE, which stands for 'Delicious and Responsible Eating ', is a small friendly cafe which was just next to the markets that operate at The Rocks on Friday mornings. This is a gluten free haven where coeliacs can enjoy options which we usually aren 't able to think banana pancakes and loads of raw desserts! I had a slice of the gluten free banana bread which was served with fresh fruit salad. It was toasted, warm and quite moist, however could have done with a touch more sweetness to make it just that much more delicious. I paired my banana bread with a vanilla chai latte, served in an unusual but welcomed tall glass and fragrant rose petals. Wish I could have tried more gf options here in my short stay in Sydney!

Great little cafe at the rocks, food tasted wonderful and full of flavour (I had the Menemen, Turkish style scrambled eggs with bread). Only small downside was that the food went cold very quickly, and my smoothie was a bit too yoghurty. Partner had the gluten free banana bread and said that was wonderful too!
