Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

It's always exciting seeing what new awe-inspiring decor and food that The Grounds of Alexandria dreams up. Following elaborate set-ups themed after Disney, Beauty and the Beast and Alice in Wonderland, this cafe, bar and garden in Sydney, Australia, is taking a break from its Disney streak and has transformed into Candyland.

As expected, the Grounds has gone all-out with the decorations. Guests will wander around the candy-themed wonderland and find towering lollipops, glowing candy decor, giant cupcakes and a massive gumball machine.

If you prefer a daytime experience, dine at The Cafe for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The space has a completely different charm at night when its lit by neon lights. If that's more to your liking, enjoy dinner at The Potting Shed.
