👍👍 Delicious and, busy as it was, the wait for our food didn't take too long at all! Our dishes were beautifully presented and tasted great. Especially loved the corn fritters topped with bacon. They also have books and toys to keep little kids busy. :) People often mention coffee, great, good, cafe, fritters, staff, breakfast, local, pancakes, menu,

    We visited The Dining & Co for brunch on a Sunday after seeing so many good reviews. I have to agree with all the 5 star ratings. The food was delicious, I ordered the corn fritters with bacon and couldn't fault the dish. The staff were so friendly and the service was really fast despite the cafe being completely full. I'll definitely be visiting this place again

    Service was excellent, the cafe had great ambience. Discount is given when paying with cash and the food was excellent. The coffee was a let down, my friend also ordered a coffee and she did not think it was that great either. Everything is excellent.

    This Bruschetta was a work of art. Amazing food. Must have artists working in the kitchen. So packed everytime I go.

    I am in love with their presentation and the food is absolutely delish. Impressive breakfast menu specially their bruschetta and eggs Benedict are my favourites. A very nice spot for brunch ☺️

    Stopped by for a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning. Ordered the eggs Benedict with Mushrooms and vegetarian breakfast. Everything was spot on, the food was served quickly with little wait time and the food was of the best quality. Convenient street parking. Highly recommend this place and next time I'll definitely give their coffee a try

    The Dining &Co. Is a gem in the area. Very popular and I have never seen this place empty. Food tastes and looks great. I had Tasmanian Salmon which looked and tasted amazing. Fish was cooked perfectly and the salad was delicious and fresh. Drinks are also a work of art and picture worthy. Great place to catch up with friends.

    Lost its touch. Feels grubby, crowded and expensive. Push them thru place. I saw the line and thought, I be waiting forever to get the food. The toilets were particularly small and not appealing. Especially poor was the tiny crowded spot I was directed to sit. I felt like I would be sitting on the other people’s laps. No thank you. Used to be a fun place to come. By the way the parking is hopeless. Always was and still is problematic. I walked out without ordering.

    Great little local gem located deep inside a residential area of North Ryde. Open for takeaway during lockdown but have been many times previously before lockdown. We ordered the crab pasta and corn fritters, both were top notch and always satisfying. Will be back again once out of lockdown!

    The food was really good and fresh. I love this soy flat white. It's the best coffee I've ever had! The staff was friendly and provided perfect service. I want to visit again next time

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting a local café in North Ryde. It's worth noting that this café tends to get quite busy, even on weekdays during lunchtime, so I would highly recommend making a booking in advance to secure a table. And once the café is filled with people it can get very noisy. The coffee they served was rather delightful, offering a nice and smooth flavor that satisfied my caffeine cravings. We tried their Eggs Benedict, and they were cooked to a level of perfection that pleasantly surprised me. The presentation of the dish was quite lovely as well. Another highlight was the slow-cooked 63-degree egg on the Shakshuka, which was perfectly cooked. What amazed me even more was the fact that their Shakshuka with chorizo had a pleasantly mild flavor, departing from the usual spiciness I've come to expect.

    As per another reviewers comment, this is the best breakfast possible. I don't think I've ever eaten something so delicious and well balanced, I'm not a crier and I teared up at the first bite. Was superb 10/10

    Green tea latte Red velvet latte Bacon and egg roll Smoked salmon toasted All of them were beyond average Even I’m not ordered an expensive one What a lovely place to hang out with friends 🙆🏻‍♀️

    Lovely local cafe with great breakfast and lunch options. I enjoyed my coffee but I found the food slightly disappointing. The pulled pork burger was very salty and the beef burger was very impractical to eat as it was so tall! The chips were perfect and I liked the onion rings on top. Overall a great place for a coffee and catch up

    Lovely size serves. Coffee strong and bitey. Caramel choc after taste. Corn fritters were lovely. Very nicely poached eggs. Sour dough a bit hard after toasting. Great presentation. Cheeky Indian minor enjoyed the scraps too.

    Very nice place. Service was great , very nice friendly staff. Food was good

  • 5/5 Jonty B. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb coffee, superb food and all for a reasonable price. Staff are ultra friendly, heaps of parking. The pumpkin puree with the haloumi and avocado was to die for. The corn fritters were light and not doughy in the slightest. Only slight criticism was that they could have done with a touch more seasoning, but salt and pepper are on the table. Paying cash also gives you a 5% discount on the bill.

    First time visiting this cafe which impressed us a lot. The coffee and food are awesome and the staffs are friendly. We will go back again! 😃

    Whilst visiting the North Ryde suburb of NSW, we decided to dine out for breakfast. I came across this gem of a café and paid a visit, it was already busy at the time however thankfully outdoor tables were free. Staff were prompt to seat us and provide menus. There was a sign on the window mentioning ordering online so I gave it a whirl. Turns out it was for takeaway only, thankfully the staff at the counter picked up on it and processed it for dine in. The food was fantastic and came out quickly, was a great experience with this small business.

    A gem of a local cafe serving up yummy, healthy goodness! Lots of outdoor seating which is great for dog parents like me. For sure, one of the best in the area.

    One of my favourite local eats in North Ryde! The food is always delicious although a little on the pricey side, the decoration and atmosphere makes up for it when dining in. I would recommend the ricotta pancakes (for those who prefer a sweeter breakfast) and the corn fritters (for the savoury lovers) - I pretty much alternate between these two dishes! The drinks are pretty good including the frappes and ice coffee which both have generous servings.

    There’s no wonder this is a local favourite. We’ve been coming here for several years now and the quality of the dishes (taste, menu selection, presentation) is hard to beat. Great coffee and service as well.

  • 5/5 James Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely cafe and perfect for a lazy brunch with friends over good food. The dishes are done well and highly recommend the chicken burger to enjoy. Love the little baked/fried potatoes on the burger nice touch

    Amazing food presentation, great prices and service

    Coffee was good, but pancakes were a big miss meant to be ricotta pancakes, didn't taste any thing like ricotta either they missed it while making or waiter got order wrong and put down normal pancakes don't know, also was imagining fluffy soft pancakes like every other place I've been too but was deep fried and hard like a biscuit not sure if it's their style but it wasn't great. Coffee good enough to warrant another visit, but will not order pancakes again might give better rating after trying other things on menu. But overall a bit disappointed.

    Steak sandwich $18 very filling, but probably not the most amazing one I’ve had Shaksuka $16 bread that accompanied and chorizos were sooo good 🤗 Service always v good and also quite busy normally !! Defs recommend the corn fritters here :)

    Came in for coffee and brekky takeaway, saw your dine and discover but dissapointed that your not accepting due to lockdown. The whole point of the voucher is to support local businesses during lockdown. It will be best to have it clearly on the notice. Thank you. Although brekky and coffee is good. REPLY to your comment below:It sounds like you are trying to prove me wrong in every possible way. Of course we gave you Dine voucher as you are a cafe. Your staff agreed to take it at first then the other staff refused it giving us lockdown excuse. Get it right!

    I can’t wait to return to try more of this menu! It’s chowder (#simpsons) as good as my favourite chowder in San Fran 🤤. Coffee’s great and enjoyed the ricotta pancakes, ricotta pieces throughout the pancake, yum!
