Grand Duk - The Rocks

The Grand Duk is a contemporary breakfast and brunch spot on George street in the middle of downtown Sydney. With ample outdoor seating and a satisfying French Vietnamese fusion menu it has something for everyone’s tastes.The Coconut Yoghurt Chia Pot is perfect if you’re after a light meal. Very refreshing and not overly sweet. It’s very satisfying paired with one of there freshly squeezed juices on the side.The Breakfast Bowl and Avocado lime and Coriander Smash are an excellent fusion between Vietnamese and contemporary Australian. Mixed with bold Vietnamese herbs and bread locally sourced from Bourke Street Bakery, it makes for a winning combo.If your’re looking for something rustic and satisfying, I recommend the Eggs Benedict with Seared Salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce light and fluffy.With three flavours to choose from: Sichuan Duck, Tiger Prawn and Spice Tofu & Enoki all served with hoisin peanut dip. More please!A real stand out on the menu was the Salt and Pepper Squid. In the middle of the plate was a Vietnamese salad made with a combination of Vietnamese and Australian herbs. Around the outside was deep fried salt and pepper squid. Super fresh and uber satisfying. Yum.Even though we were eating brunch I couldn’t help but finish the meal with Deep Fried Ice Cream, and I’m so happy I did. The crunchy coconut shell was topped with a salted Caramel sauce, made in house, and contained a vanilla bean ice cream. It was so rich and decadent the whole table couldn’t stop raving about it and it left me buzzing for hours.Grand Duk is a great place to brunch with friends during the weekdays. For those folks who work in the CBD, it offers a fresh and healthy menu if you’re looking for something new and contemporary.Thanks for reading!More on the bloghellomissmay.comand For Insta food yumminess, find me on Instagram@hellomissmay

The modern structure of the building attracted us but then the menu impressed us, great fresh food with impressive presentation. The coffee was excellent, the service wasnt great but we could see why, one waitress outside was running ragged which we struggled to get her attention. Overall, a great little find for us tourists wanting a good cafe breakie.

Came here with my friends for a Friday lunch. The food is great and the service is excellent. Should try their Magret de Canard and Duck Fat Chips.

As a worker in the CBD, the place gives me the vibe that the owner really cares about the customer reflected in the quality and freshness of the food and delivery.

This Vietnamese / French bistro really took me by surprise. Easily the best eatery Ive been to in the Wynyard area, youd be crazy to eat anywhere else.
