Restaurant Review
Just like the neatly packed furniture, the cafeteria at the IKEA store Rhodes, also feels rather neat and tidy. As I took a tray and slid it along the rails, selecting various juice and entree' combinations, I felt like I was, in their words an IKEA 'co-worker'. Reminiscent of a school that I have never attended, the feeling of belonging was as strong as the cold sterile surroundings.
A cheap meal got me interested, and with a cooked breakfast for $2 it's sure to raise an eyebrow. By the time I had collected enough items to fill my tum, I found that I had spend $7.50. Still not so bad since I had a cooked breakfast and felt like part of a team.
The food wasn't so bad. The bacon wasn't the best cut, but it was cooked properly and tasted nice. The scrambled egg was a little watery, but again I enjoyed it, along with the apple danish, hash brown (I love potato), and an apple/guava juice.
I was a satisfied diner.
The fact that I was happy with my meal will be blindingly obvious when I tell you what I did the following day.
I went to IKEA for lunch. This time I had meatballs and chips. It would appear to be a staple diet in Sweden, meatballs that is. In fact this time I was more impressed than the last, the meatballs were great and I again was satisfied.

What was interesting about the size of my meatballs serving was that they were measured by number of balls. I had opted for the medium size which entitled me to 15 balls (I think). I suppose there is no other way to measure the serving when there are three serving sizes available.
All in all I would recommend the restaurant for a cheap meal break during a long day of shopping, or as a quick breakfast on the way past on Homebush Bay Drive. Although, be aware that their breakfast does not start until 9.30am.
