Take a short stroll through Gate A of the Royal Botanic Gardens to discover The Terrace. Situated just opposite the charming Ornamental Lake, relax and indulge in our freshly-baked signature scones with jam and cream, delicious coffee and teas, and unwind in the beauty of the surrounding lush gardens.
Kiosk
Our takeaway kiosk is open from 9:30am-3:30pm, 7 days a week, serving our delicious scones, muffins and coffees, as well as fresh and hot savoury food options. If you’re looking for something more substantial, we also have a delicious charcuterie-inspired picnic hamper available from Friday-Sunday, perfect for taking on the Punting on the Lake or a picnic in the gardens. Our hampers are $55 and include cured meats, cheeses, quinoa salad, an assortment of fresh fruits, and a complimentary bottle of red, white or sparkling wine. Picnic hampers can be booked in advance or can be ordered directly from the kiosk on the day.
