The Terrace

In the heart of the Royal Botanic Gardens, The Terrace is one of Melbourne's great treasures.

Amid the gardens’ beautifully landscaped grounds, you can choose an outdoor table in the sunshine with spectacular views of the ornamental lake or sit inside and choose from the à la carte menu or cabinet of snacks and light meals.

Led by the Darling Group, The Terrace's menu champions the best of seasonal produce, matched with an impressive drinks list. Visitors can expect high-quality ingredients with modern Australian cooking techniques and approachable dishes. With outdoor and indoor seating, there are options to dine in or takeaway, with ample choices of fresh pastries and sandwiches.

Picnic-goers can enjoy some chocolate covered strawberries to-go, as well as gelato year round.
