When Bron of Heartfelt Living described Fratelli Paradiso as the place the cool people eat, it went straight to the top of my rather awkwardly named ‘Places to eat in Sydney’ list. Because I’m super cool right?
Don’t answer that.
To be on the safe side I took a beautiful person with me so at least he could provide an illusion of coolness while I snapped away.
Good thing I did take a decoy of coolness because they were baking up a storm of breads and pizzas for the day ahead and I got quite snap-happy.
Hundreds upon hundreds of perfect little rolls
I ordered the olive focaccia with mortadella, scrambled eggs, rocket and balsamic ($14)
Silky eggs, paper thin rolls of flavoursome mortadella and a fluffy olive roll.
J went for the Piadina – prosciutto, rocket, stracchino (a soft cows milk cheese) and balsamic ($14)
Not a flattering photo but the prosciutto was perfectly salty and smoky and there were lashings of creamy cheese.
We shared a little pastry for breakfast dessert
Tender slices of apple on a sweet and creamy ricotta base and perfect flaky pastry. Served with nicely bitter and fragrant espresso.
Top quality super-fresh food, great coffee and all the baked goods you could hope for. I need to go back to Sydney now simply to go for dinner 😉

Oh places that are for beautiful people are so intimidating! Arrgh they fill me with dread. I walked into one the other day and I wanted to walk right back out. Great idea bringing a beautiful person! 😛 Happy New Year Nicole! x
Oh stop it! You are totally a beautiful ‘people’!! x
Beautiful people (that’s the both of yous) and beautiful baked goods! I might have to pay this place a visit!
Definitely do. Seriously good breakfast with really fresh ingredients and not too unhealthy (except for salty meat;) )
See, I told you it’s where all the cool people go! x
I always believe you x
Ooh thanks for sharing – I must add this to my wish list too! Those pizzas look amazing.
The guy in the photo actually just brought his little’un in to distract him after a big stack. It’s lovely to watch all the gorgeous fresh food being made before your eyes.
You so are the cool & beautiful people.
This has made me so hungry, I can almost smell those lovely little rolls!
Oh thank you, but really I am a complete dag (and proud of it) 😉
