the terrace, royal botanic gardens — mamma knows melbourne

What a spot!! Can you imagine a better spot to enjoy a lovely lunch in the sunshine?

Nestled in arguably the most beautiful gardens in Victoria is The Terrace. This is a relatively new cafe and is run by The Darling Group who also have amazing cafes like Top Paddock and Higher Ground.

It sits right on the lake amongst the trees and bird life, and you can choose to sit under the colourful umbrellas or take a cozy spot inside. The place definitely gives Tavern on the Green vibes mixed with a bit of old Beverley Hills Hotel - Mamma’s favourite!

You can also opt to get some take away and find your own spot in the gardens to enjoy your lunch. The take away menu has some easier and kid friendly options but you are sure to find something for everyone on the dine in menu too - croissants, hot cakes and always some great specials on offer.

This really is a special spot to enjoy a day out!
