Unfortunately I did not enjoy the food here whatsoever. We ordered the Mediterranean dips with bread, the seafood risotto and the baked spud with chilli beans The dips were straight out of a packet. It’s a well known supermarket brand (Chris’ Dips) which I love but I would have expected a cafe with a chef would make their own dips. The seafood risotto was frozen marinara mix, rice and flavoured with pasta sauce that comes from a jar that fake tomato taste .. the spud was covered in chilli beans which had no chilli nor any Mexican flavour in fact it tasted exactly like the pasta risotto sauce just with with beans. Shame the food is so bad the location is great and I’m sure that’s why it’s busy but once you eat here there’s no going back sorry .

Came here because we saw it was busy and a crowd favourite. Lovely service from the female waitress who wore glasses. Quite a vast menu. The restaurant layout was unconventional. You could sit inside or outside the QVB. I suggest sitting inside if there are spaces as I found it was disturbing having people walking past while dining. We ordered the Indonesian Mi Goreng Noodles and Risotto. They weren't traditional and weren't the best. Tasty, but chose the wrong ingredients. They used pasta to make Mi Goreng which was interesting. Overall, good service with an interesting menu and choice of products.

Parking in Sydney is very expensive. Catch public transport if you can. It is (mostly) well organised and affordable. If you stay here for a longer period I suggest you purchase an opal card. Your max spending will be capp2d at 8 dollars per day.

OMG! This place is a great spot for lunch. We were amazingly good served there. We promptly got a table as soon as we walked in and the server was nice and friendly. Clean place and great atmosphere. The food was ridiculously delicious! We were lucky enough to meet the owner who sat at a table next to ours and we were stoked to get the chance to compliment her for her restaurant. Everything tasted so good and we couldn’t be happier with our visit to this restaurant

Wonderful place to have lunch with friends. The location is special being at the highest floor of QVB, you get to look down at all the shops whilst enjoying the afternoon Sun to keep you warm on a Winters day. The service is fast and consistent, everything is clean and well presented. Never had a problem. If you are looking for somewhere to having a relaxing lunch, this is the place.

Very good cafe restaurant in QVB. Quieter location as it is on the top floor. Good for all weather scenarios. Staff are extremely accommodating and helpful. They really make you feel welcome. Good food too. Always have a good experience. Great location in central Sydney for meeting friends for coffee, brunch, lunch, etc.

I could give more than 5 stars if I could. The waitress, I should have asked her for her name, requested the chef to cook me the 3 mushroom pasta that the business removed from the menu. I didn't mind the idea that they cooked my meal with one type of mushroom, but the idea that they actually cooked the meal for me really meant a lot to me since I was having a difficult time (personal issues) back then. Big thank you for the lovely waitress and chef.

  • Statler Willand

Came across this place by accident, but hey, decided to give it a shot anyway. I’m glad I did as this has become a special treat for my wife and I after a day of shopping in The QVB. We never have trouble getting a table which is such a relief. The food is solid as well as not being overly expensive. The service has always been spot on as well. If you’re looking to take a break during your shopping adventures, stop in for a bite at Cellinis.

  • Daniel D

I went here for breakfast and had a decent experience dining there. I ate the eggs benedict with salmon which was just okay but the lemon tart was refreshing and pairs well with the cappuccino I ordered. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Would love to come back again try their lunch menu.

The most wonderful service, incredibly personal experience, and the staff was very kind to my group. Kelly was especially helpful and such a wonderful host. The food was also delicious, love the risottos. We all also got cocktails which were phenomenal. Definitely recommend eating here.

Huge serving of Beef Rendang!! More than sufficient for 1 person. The unsweetened light whipped cream that accompanied my slice of carrot cake worked surprisingly well as a palate cleanser. Very affordable prices considering it's in QVB. Quite a number of gluten free options too. Will be back again to try other dishes.

Lovely Cafe on the top floor of the Queen Victoria Building (Town Hall end). Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff very pleasant , friendly and efficient . And a wide variety of items to drink and to eat on the menu. We chose something simple : a small soup and toasted sandwich combo. Very reasonably priced. Perfect for a cold and wet winter’s day ! And the cakes that are on display look scrumptious !

  • Alex Ditton

A must visit! Whenever I’m in Sydney, I make a habit of stopping by Cellinis. I’m always treated like a VIP. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming. The service provided is a true credit to the owners. The food and coffee are 10/10. The setting is absolutely stunning, whether you are fortunate enough to be seated inside the cafe or outside to soak up the majesty of the Queen Victoria Building.

  • Don

You get what you pay for being in QVB but the French toast was below average and looked bad and tasted so plain. Also I ordered a mango smoothie which was $7.80 I think but you might as well go to Boost Juice and get more for your $. Perhaps we went there early but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here, feel like it’s a bit of a tourist trap being in QVB I suppose

  • Shane

A lovely spot located on Level 2 of QVB. Staff are very friendly and there is ample seating available. The big breakfast here is amazing. Everything is cooked perfectly and very yummy. Price is decent as well considering the location. They also have an extensive lunch and dinner offering.

We only had cappuccinos and vanilla slices the first time, but they were lovely, both in flavour and in how they were presented. Since then we have been having Tiramisu and I have decided it's my favourite tirimisu ever. I love the sugared almonds on top! The range of cakes look yummy.

I love Cellinis' Club Sandwich. I thought the club sandwich all taste similar until I tried Cellinis' sandwich. Toasted triple deck, with bacon, egg, chicken, tomato, lettuce & mayonnaise, served with chips. The ingredients are fresh and cooked to perfection. If it was a bit cheaper, I'd eat it every day!

  • Mary

Generous quantities Had a quick lunch at this place . Very pleasant people , generous amounts of food but I was very dry . My Salmon had no flavour and very dry . A good place to sit and catchup in the city while having coffee.

The staff where nice and friendly, however the creamy chicken asparagus risotto I had, was average. It was watery not creamy and it lacked taste. I had to add salt and pepper to make it eatable. Being part Italian and having tasted so many risotto dishes out there, this dish does not make the mark.

This place genuinely made my day. We ordered the handmade ravioli and the chilli bean jacket potato (pictured) and also the garlic bread and WOW. It was filling and delicious and I cannot recommend Cellinis enough. Plus, the serving sizes are generous and the staff were super friendly.

I got the nachos from this place. Bit of a rip-off for what it is. But I guess you’re paying for their overheads moreso than their dish. Customer service was great and the waitress was attentive.

Decide to get out of the house for a while before the rain got to heavy. Just had a really nice big breakfast at Cellini"s QVB. The coffee is good to. Would recommend this Cafe in the QVB, it is on the second floor near HobbyCo.

  • Daisy Bebe

It's located on the top floor of the qvb building. It was the quietest and most comfortable cafe in the building. It's a good cafe for people who don't like crowded places. The staff are kind and the restaurant is clean.

  • Michael C

Had some breakfast here. They are reasonably priced for the qvb and have a nice selection of food and drinks. Cellini's being at the top floor of qvb you get a bit more peace and quiet compared to the lower floors.
