Garden Restaurant

  • Restaurant

The Garden Restaurant can be found in the stunning setting of the NGV's landscaped gardens.

Wander out the back of the NGV and look for the diamond-shaped blade jutting out over the water, grab a seat and enjoy the view of the beautiful gardens through the large windows.

The menu changes regularly to keep with seasonal, locally sourced fruits and vegetables.
