With lush green scenery throughout, the Garden is the perfect spot for some al-fresco dining.
Grab a coffee or lunch under the shade of an old oak tree at Botanic Lodge, relax with lunch next to the Mediterranean Garden at Evergreen Deli, or indulge in a fine dining experience at Restaurant Botanic.
A relaxed dining spot full of warmth and charm, The Lodge celebrates South Australian flavours with seasonal dishes inspired by the surrounding gardens. From coffee and a vanilla slice to lakeside dinners and long lunches—it’s food that connects you to place.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, once the gates close to the public, guests with a dinner booking enjoy a rare and peaceful walk through Adelaide Botanic Garden—arriving lakeside just as the garden settles into stillness.
Lunch: Daily from 11.30am
Dinner: Friday and Saturday from 6pm
