This restaurant is perfect for dining outdoors on sunny days. The sun shines brightly, the view is beautiful, and there are hardly any flies or seagulls trying to steal your food. I highly recommend the French toast and their pasta with large shrimp; both are delicious. The duck leg was just okay, and the service was a bit slow; we waited almost 40 minutes. The omelet was also quite ordinary. However, the overall presentation and atmosphere were very beautiful, with a lovely view. The matcha latte was decent, nothing special. You can't go wrong with this restaurant.

Had a beautiful experience at The Gardener’s Lodge Cafe 🌿☕ The setting is absolutely stunning — surrounded by greenery, peaceful vibes, and that fresh garden atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment. It’s the perfect escape from the busy city life. The food was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food in a serene garden setting. Will definitely be back!!!

We visited on a busy, sunny day and were lucky enough to get a table outside under a big tree. The setting is beautiful for a relaxed lunch. The food and service were good. The kids loved having the space to run around nearby. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stress-free meal in a beautiful park setting.

The latte art was sooo cute! 🧸☕️ I liked how the corn fritters were crunchy, with a generous serving of salad 🥗 The salmon bagel was a nice option for a lighter lunch 🥯 There’s such a pretty view of the lake and garden as well

Located in Victoria Park, good vibes, booked seat outdoor, nice weather with nice views. The food is yummy, I ordered a beef salad, it was delicious. The beef is tender, juicy and flavour, comes with fresh salad, just perfectly matched. My daughter ordered beef sandwich is also juicy and fresh. My son ordered prawn pasta which is good, but the portion is a bit of small. Overall it’s good to have a lunch in the beautiful park. There are 2hours free parking and dog friendly. Be careful the birds, it might swooping to get your food. 😂😂
