There is honestly nothing more I like better than a beautiful surprise and the Three Queens on King were the Jack in the box on that occasion — pardon the pun. Out of nowhere, an original set of salads and hot dishes that combine nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, seafood meet and fruit into delightfully interesting savours. New vantage points to food you know are the key to the pleasure of an edamame, fennel, radish and parmeggiano salad. Crunchy, fresh, savoury and light: perfect for a summer day lunch! The cherry lemonade was made of real cherries and that was the cherry on top of the cake … Too easy? Ok I take it back but it was a beautiful drink. I don’t often recommend a place who doesn’t understand duck fat is at the heart of cuisine, even society, even our humanity … But I warmly recommend to let these queens share their friendly and happy food!

A trendy café in newtown now that’s not a surprise! Good food, great coffee what more could you want. it can get busy on the weekend and you might have to wait a few minutes for a table but the food I have had here is well worth the short wait. the staff are trendy and nice enough but there is a manager who leaves you feeling like running a café is hard work rather than the breeze some managers allow you to believe.

Pleasant little café situated on king street. The décor is light and airy with an ikea feel that meets vast curiosities that are displayed above. The staff are very friendly and polite and didn’t waste time when it came to meeting our hungry needs. Definitely try the pulled pork burger! Yum! Soooooo tasty!

This would be a solid 4 stars if it wasn’t for the terrible waitress we had, because the food is really good. Three Queens On King is a new café by the people running St. Jude in Redfern. It’s a pretty clean fit out here, and while you can get some standard brunch food here there are different specials everyday that do things with a twist. Don’t expect them to reinvent the wheel here, but you can expect good, hearty food or tasty healthy food depending on your mood. They opened pretty recently and we came on a Sunday around noon. The wait wasn’t too bad, as we were seated within 5 minutes. The Queens running the show are friendly and know their stuff, it’s just too bad the waitress we had was pretty horrid. I think she assumed we were foreign exchange students that can’t speak English or something because when she asked for our order and we gave it, she gave a condescending«Did you want to order food?» Umm. were you not listening to the food we just ordered? Then I asked for a side of streaky bacon, and she said«Did you mean crispy bacon?» Uh, no I meant streaky bacon… and I pointed it out to her where it said«Streaky Bacon» on their menu. Why are you trying to correct me when you don’t even know your own menu? I probably speak and write English way better than you. To top it off we ordered a coffee and a tea, and she completely forgot to bring the tea, it was sitting there for 10 minutes and one of the purveyors brought it over after we flagged her down. Our food was brought out by someone else(probably because our waitress forgot altogether) I ordered the Soft Shell Crab Salad and my partner ordered the cured salmon w’ baby beets salad. She loved hers. I really enjoyed mine. Mine wasn’t so much a salad but more so a soft shell crab burger with buns on the side. The spicy tomato mayo & cucumber & spanish onion salsa worked great with the crab. I just wish the crab portion was a little larger, but nonetheless it was very tasty. The bacon wasn’t exactly the kind of streaky bacon I was expecting, but it was tasty nonetheless. Definitely willing to come back if the service improves.
