10 out of 10 for both the food and the staff. I loved this little gem 😍🥰😍! Located alongside the rose garden in the midst of Wellingtons Botanical Garden you will find a prestine little restaurant. Witty staff, fast, accurate, in for a laugh, so hard working! I asked for the chicken Caesar salad, which was my lucky choice 🙏💝. Packed with tasty chunks of chicken, bacon, a poached egg, crispy lettuce and a really good dressing it was such a treat to eat! Add to that the nice staff and you have yourself a winning combo.

Honesty if I could give a higher rating I would! We were honestly so blown away with the amazing service! Right away the staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We got to our table and had incredible service. It was really awesome to watch the main waiter ensure that everyone was keeping busy and that everyone was well looked after. I was really impressed that I able to swap my bacon for hash browns at no extra cost! It’s things like this that really make people stand out when they do something kind like this. Most people would charge a good $5 at least for this! My daughter LOVED the picnic box! It’s such a smart idea for toddlers, especially when they don’t want to eat all at once, we have an easy take away container. I’m so glad we visited and cannot wait to go back! Everyone was a 10/10!

A good cheese scone . $6.50 toasted with butter. Good coffee. Serene and fragrant surroundings when the roses are in bloom. Don’t feed the birds ( unless no one is watching). A great place to take your grandma

Great coffee (and food) awaits in the Botanic gardens at Picnic Cafe. Being next to the Begonia house it’s like a conservatory with full length windows looking into the rose gardens. Excellent food and friendly attentive staff - you must visit soon! Warm and cosy on this rainy spring day. Also pics from previous visits.
