The Topiary Cafe - TEA TREE GULLY

Creative and pleasant: a lovely dining experience. The service was great, the food was not too bad, hit and miss, one of the dishes was kinda strange in the pairing of salmon and pancetta but the gnocchi was very tasty. The best thing was probably the bread and butter, it was really good!!! We also had the deconstructed cheesecake for dessert, it was so beautifully presented with thin slices of apple delicately arranged in such an artistic formation, too pretty to be eaten and it was delicious. Would recommend if you’re in the area!

Staff were friendly, food was fantastic the atmosphere topped off the experience.The restaurant is surrounded by a beautiful garden has a short walk through an amazing nursery

Located pretty much on the edge of the suburbs at the far end of North East Rd this is, at bottom, a nursery kiosk, but raised to the nth degree to a level of elegance and sophistication that many city restaurants would give their eye teeth to match.<br/ <br/ Sitting on their verandah under the flowering wisteria and watching the green of the nursery, life is very fine indeed.<br/ <br/ Breakfasts and lunch time meals are imaginative and beautifully prepared and presented.<br/ <br/ If you're just there for coffee and a sit down then a plate if Petit fours will do the trick, a couple of feather light scones with, of course, jam and cream with excellent coffee or, even better, a pot of tea. (There's a good selection of leaf teas from the T-Bar in the Central Market) High teas are available and worth booking for.<br/ <br/ Service is outstanding. Yes, this sort of thing is a bit more pricey than a bucket of chips and a pie from the warmer, but it's worth the money.<br/ <br/ Recommended.

Perfect for brekkie, local for me. Consistently good service. Cant go wrong with some sourdough, eggs and add-ons (um bacon and berkshire pork, obviously). Cute limestone courtyard set up, catch some morning rays.

Perfect way to spend a weekend morning. Coffee and desert or a more substantial meal. Great food, fresh and flavourful. Staff are warm, welcoming and wonderous in their approach.
