Tropicana is a nice café in Darlinghurst and I have been there few times. I like their menu and their chicken salad, and pasta with prawns are my best so far. They are reasonably priced as well so try the place out. Service is good as well and quick so good place to order lunch.

Approximate cost: $20

This is a great little cafe located in Darlinghurst. It is always bustling with people and the atmosphere is lively and uplifting. Their dishes change occasionally but the quality and standard of food is always a delight to enjoy.

I like the fact that Tropicana is always busy. The menu is vast and all meals are available all day, so if eggs and toast for lunch or pasta for breakfast is your preference, this is served with no fuss. It is a great place for seeing and being seen. My favourite is the Chicken salad - light tasy and filling!

Approximate cost: $10-$15

A favourite cafe - great for breakfasts, lunches or dinner. Great coffee and general menu. An excellent place to see and be seen. Always a great vibe - one of Sydney's best.

Approximate cost: $15

Great place to meet a few friends for a coffee and a quick bite to eat. I wouldnt recommend going with a group of more than six people as you cant book and normally cant pull more than two tables together as they get very busy. The food is always good and the service is always very quick. Most of the menu is salads, pastas, sandwiches and a few mains. My favourite is the chicken salad but all the food on the menu that I have tasted is great. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
