The Chef's Garden

This feels like you’ve transported from the coast to the forest and is hidden behind a nursery 🪴 serving gorgeous food & coffee. Make sure you order the peaches & cream pancake 🤤 Follow @clareonthecoast for more reviews

Gorgeous tropical oasis with great food. Service was a little slow but it didn’t matter as it’s such a lovely spot. There are mosquitoes but repellent spray on the tables. Great little walkways through the forest and lots of fish in the ponds and creek

We had a large group of family to celebrate a 90th birthday. The Chefs Garden cafe Was just so beautiful. Due to the large group we did call ahead and pre-order. The staff were very accommodating and quite happy for us to all chat and mingle before we organised for the food to be prepared. The staff went out of their way to make sure that everything was set up for us every single one of our guest. Nothing but praise for the meals that they received. This is quite a feat when you have such a large group of people. The restaurant was extremely busy today, and they made us aware that things were probably going to be a bit slow. However, as we were fully informed and we were all very happy having drinks and chatting we had no issue. The menu is fabulous even though it was slightly restricted because of the holidays it’s still met the need of everyone in our group. All of the white staff and the kitchen staff did a fantastic job considering how many people they were having to serve. On one day. Highly recommend anyone to go there as a small group or a large group. Definitely pre-ordering as a large group was a massive help to our family as well as to the staff in the kitchen. Can’t wait for us all to go back again, there’s lots of options on the menu. You would like to try out. Keep on producing food of this quality and having such a beautiful venue will keep all of us happy. Thank you once again for hosting us and taking care of our beautiful mother for her 90th birthday. Lots of happy people going home today. The only thing that I did forget was to take photos of the food because we were too busy with our birthday group.

The Chef’s Garden is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is beautifully relaxed and tropical - you’re sitting right among the established gardens, with a koi pond gently bubbling away nearby. It feels calm, welcoming, and instantly grounding. The food is stunningly presented and genuinely delicious - thoughtful, fresh, and seriously yummy. But the real stars are the staff. They’re kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely funny - the kind of people who make you feel instantly at ease and glad you came. It’s an inclusive, unpretentious place where you can truly take a breath, slow down, and enjoy a meaningful catch-up with friends or family. A place you leave feeling better than when you arrived. We’ll absolutely be back

What an amazing hidden gem in a perfect setting. Surrounded by plants in nursery, huge trees, this place has a lovely setting with ample seating. The coffee and food was super amazing and best in the area we have discoverd so far. Each dish had wonderful flavours and the presentation added to the perfection. The staff was really lovely and the property is kept really well. Highly recomme d this place.
