Alice In Wonderland-Themed Cafe In Sydney, Australia: Mad Hatter High Tea, Floral Displays, Themed Food
Singaporeans know Australia as the land of beautiful beaches, festivals and trendy brunch cafes, but all that is almost overshadowed by a cafe that's an Instagrammer's dream come true - The Grounds At Alexandria.
Located in Sydney, this all-in-one café, bar, restaurant and garden has a rustic back-to-nature charm and is thought to be one of the most picture-perfect places in Australia. To spice things up, The Grounds periodically gives their space a themed makeover that brings its aesthetic up a notch further. After a stunning Beauty and the Beast-themed run, the cafe is now transformed into a wonderland (pun intended) inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
Alice In Wonderland-Themed Decor
Diners will feel like Alice herself - post-Drink Me potion - as they step through the giant keyhole and stroll through the a topsy-turvy world inspired by the works of Lewis Carroll.

The nature-filled walkway is decorated with recognisable themed touches like chess pieces, mushrooms and The White Rabbit.

Mad Hatter's High Tea

It would be such a missed opportunity to have an Alice in Wonderland-themed dining experience and not include a "Mad Tea Party." Happily, The Grounds grabbed the chance and will soon launch a Mad Hatter's High Tea.
Diners will be pampered with their own personal waiter while they enjoy tea in a gorgeous space with exposed brick walls covered in crawling vines and green plants.
This Wonderland experience launched in June 2022 and will have a limited time run. The Grounds has yet to confirm its last day, but will make an announcement before its last 4 weeks.
