There two cafes operating at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.
1. The Terrace (within the gardens by the lake)
2. Observatory Cafe (outside opposite the war memorial)
Out door seating is limited and it can be expensive if your purchasing food and drinks. So if it’s a nice day pack a picnic rug and lunch and find yourself a beautiful position on one of the many grassy lawns.
