The tranquility of the pizza bar and café is very soothing. Sitting under the trees listening to the water fountain and eating a delicious pizza gives the sense of being on vacation. Wide variety of pizzas available, including vegetarian options. The menu also includes other café style foods. The service is excellent. All COVID-19 protocols are adhered to. Its very popular so ensure to make a booking. The nursery is well stocked with everything from flowering plants, succulents, vegetables and fruits. Parking on the premises is limited and most patrons park in the adjacent street. Nursery staff are friendly and very helpful.

Such a beautiful place to spend one’s time. The nursery offers a array of seed/plant options and the Under the tree resto is quite serene to be in.

Worth the drive across the city. A true hidden gem. Under the Trees, is a stunning eatery hidden at the back of a nursery. You’re served delicious food under the trees, creating a sense of eating out in the middle of a forest. Food, Coffee and service was 👌🏽 Also did I mention 🏳️‍🌈 friendly!

Lovely nursery that has recently had a facelift and is looking beautiful. Good range of plants at decent prices and you can generally find what you are looking for (if not, just ask and they can often order something specific for you).Do wish they had a nice range of big/bulk seedling trays.Staff are very friendly, very knowledgeable and generally a pleasure to deal with.They have a nice koi selection as well.Havent visited the restaurant in ages, but its looking great.

We waltzed and found exactly what we were looking for, a lovely plant for a birthday gift. And even better, we got a 20% discount for Valentines day! Will definitely be back to explore the restaurant etc!

An absolute gem of a teagarden situated in a plant nursery. Food is scrumptious and service is friendly and professional. Added bonus there are numerous little stores selling from antiques, second hand books to bric a brac. The selection of plants is awesome 👌. Worthwhile a visit.

A tranquil venue with inside and outside seating areas.A lovely menu and generous portions of delicious food. I had the chicken pie, which lives up to its reputation as the house special.It has ramps for accessibility but they are a little steep, especially the one leading to the toilets.Parking is a problem, particularly as they have opened a venue for hire.An enjoyable venue and you can also shop for plants and gifts

A well stocked nursery for flowers and herbs and all manner of garden ornaments and accessories. Under The Trees is really under some lovely tree shade. There is a good menu for light meals and beverages. There is also a good craft beer available.

Its a journey of inspirational peace with a dish to always want to return to. The food is delicious. The service warm, friendly and inviting. If you want a cool, peaceful place with trees and running fountains, even if its for tea and cake. This is nothing short of a beautiful experience you will never forget. And of course the entire family will enjoy it, lots for kids to see including a talking parrot. A gem of a find. Very special!!!

Came here for a quiz night, nearly 2 years ago. I plan on coming back soon.From my first experience (2019):•The service was excellent!•The food was scrumptious ♡ The pizza I ordered had enough toppings and the base was crunchy but not hard to bite into. I cant remember what i had for dessert, except that I loved every bite of that too!! 😅•The plant variety here is diverse and well stocked.•I loved the restuarant decor, and the setup was creative and spacious.•Didnt use the bathroom facilities so I cant comment on that.

Beautiful nursery where apart from finding tons of plants, flowers and herbs you can enjoy a breakfast and buy art. You can also buy pond fish such as coy and goldfish.The feeling of just going into a place full of plants and trees is just amazing and so relaxing, even if you dont plan on buying anything.We got treated very nicely by the vendors, just at the coffee place they werent very nice since they were close to their closing time.

A lovely Sunday stroll through beautiful botanical bounties. Purchase a green fingered gem or two to enhance the garden or just appreciate the diversity of stock. Well worth a visit if not just to cool down on a steaming hot day under the mist nozzles.

I had the privilege of stumbling across this place thanks to Google Maps. What a beautiful little outdoors hub in the middle of an urban locale.You will feel at ease as you wonder the tranquil nursery isles.The tea garden is a peaceful haven and the menu offers something for everyone.The plants in the nursery are well priced and well looked after.There are a few novelty stores selling clothes and antique items and old books too.A very relaxing space.Will be back.

Delightfully quaint and intimate garden setting. Breakfast was quite the best, home-cooked and freshest ever! Eggs scrambled to perfection, very fresh salmon. Everything on our plates was truly tasty, something not easily found & we do eat out very often. The baked cheesecake was moist and delicious. Great tasting coffee too. We will definitely be back to taste the popular chicken pie!

Today we visited. The vibe is chilled, the setting is superb and the food Delicious. We ordered pizza. Mine gorgonzola and pear. Perfection in every bite. My bet had the Marsala pizza. Truly thinking out of the box with this one. Actually the best of all three. Prices slightly above average,but so worth it. Next time the burgers. Chef Malcolm

What a lovely spot! We stopped here to buy a gift plant and ended up staying for a while. Theres small but well stocked nursery. The grounds feature lovely water features and theres a beautiful restaurant with outside seating under trees and in bamboo glades, a gift shop, book shop and clothing store too. The owners were on site and along with their staff offered friendly accommodating service. If we lived in JHB wed be regulars here! Kudos to the family that own it!

Wow. I was so disappointed in my experience at this place. Having seen this place and the lovely reviews on Google, I wanted to try it out for the first time with my family. The scenery is beautiful and the food quite delicious. However our waitress was rather rude and uninterested. Really dampened the whole experience for us. Poor customer service, really think we wont be coming back again.

The only place in the country I would even consider eating a salad.... Course it would only be the grilled chicken salad. Cakes are pretty decent too and the environment is SUCH a relief for anyone sick of eating while looking at some parking lot or traffic jam astge and nly view most Jhb restaurants have. Get there!
