Kiddies menu is amazing with a healthy variety of choices. Menu is unique and fabulous. A family environment covid complaint and clean. Warm pizza oven on a cold winters day.

Love this restaurant! A great menu with a variety of very good food. Friendly staff and very relaxing environment (probably because of all the lovely plants surrounding it).

Went to this lovely restaurant in the center of Lifestyle Garden Centre and we were served by a lady named Trish, I ordered the bacon, avo and feta burger with a side of chips and it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the prawn salad with a side portion of calamari and he was very happy with the different flavors in the salad but he felt his prawns and calamari had a weird taste which is why I didn’t give them 5 stars. The service was great, the food was good and the location was amazing. Will definitely go back for breakfast sometime soon.

Lovely setting inside Lifestyle Garden Centre. Pizza was yummy, but the juice arrived rather warm. Service was okay, but when very busy the staff seem overwhelmed and need to be called over for assistance.

We stopped on a Saturday around 3 pm ..I had the American burger and my husband had the rib eye steak. Service was friendly and prompt, the food cooked to order . We enjoyed sitting in a pleasant outdoor setting. Will definitely come again

This is a nice venue in a lovely setting. The menu is wide and varied and our service was. Generally good if a little on the slow side.Well worth visiting for a light meal or snack.

Really really nice place. Their kiddy area is great - I think my only issue would be that they have too few tables for the kiddies play area. However with all that being said, the food is great, the smoothies supherb and pricing is very fair! I will be taking my little family there again soonest.

I love this place for their variety of food and drinks on their menu - whether your going for brunch or dinner. The location at Lifestyle Garden Centre means the kids will be entertained, can make their own pizza and mom can even have a cocktail or two. The cappuccino and cake selection is to die for. A definite winner.

Bland pizza. Was not offered any garlic, chilli or cheese like all the other customers. Bland milk shake not given a spoon on saucer so cant eat the topping for almost R50.. Waiters that walk away when youre still speaking. Bad service, Bland food even the coffee has no flavour and isnt warm for R31 for a tiny cup. . Its all good and well to have live jazz and ambiance but maybe the managers want to actually check that customers are being looked after. Or perhaps instead of being swanky just try to at least not put gherkins on food when a customer asks you not to. Of you say you are premium and charge those kind of prices you should offer a better service. I will go to wimpy next time at least there I can get a spoon.

Always a good experience. Even with load shedding and being very busy, service is still acceptable and the food great as always. Lots of play area for the kids, although the older kids MUST be seperated from the younger ones - the older kids are too rough!

Try the breakfast stack! Really amazing atmosphere and sometimes we go here just for a bite to eat and relax a bit as the food is always wonderful. Their waiters and waitresses are super professional and always look happy, you feel like they are taken care of as employees and I really like that, it makes for a good atmosphere when employees look happy

Sunday Morning breakfast 🍳 at this spot is a delight! The vibe is friendly and the waiters are good at taking orders. They want to make your experience enjoyable, which I found refreshing. The chef is also accommodating with your order 😁 the venue is clean and spacious too. Directly across are the playgrounds with babysitters so you can relax and enjoy your meal. This is a very entertaining and relaxing way to enjoy a Family Sunday.

Very pleasant setting in the nursery, nice menu and great service. I have had the fish and chips before and recommend it. On my second visit I had the chef’s pizza and this was fantastic but when I went back yesterday and had the same pizza it was loaded with raw chilli including the seeds. I should have returned it straight away but had the first slice and yes it was hell fire hot and really not edible but I scraped the chilli of the second slice and it wasn’t much better. I made the decision, regrettably, that because I had eaten two slices I couldn’t return the pizza. Certainly won’t have pizza there again. If this feedback is picked up by the restaurant they can fix the issue. Given the difficult times we are living in, particularly for hospitality, I didn’t want to make a fuss. Recommend the restaurant nevertheless

This is a bustling coffee shop inside the Lifestyle nursery - the menu is extensive and offers a good selection of low-carb options.Choose a table inside or outside, depending on your preference. We sat outside - a lovely environment with umbrellas that offer some privacy.I had the bun-less hamburger; a tasty and well prepared meal

Had a most pleasant breakfast this morning. It wasn’t too busy yet the food was fresh and scrumptious. I had the farmers breakfast, was able to swap out the boerewors which is standard on the menu for a cheese griller, no fuss , more than obliging. Egg was done to perfection and choice of toasts had health bread which actually was seed health bread not a brown bread impostor. The portion size was incredibly generous. Finished off with a proper ‘strong’ cappuccino.My son had the scrambled eggs royale. Beautifully presented and a huge portion. The Cambodian salad was an interesting side dish yet after the first tentative bite , was given a double thumbs up by our taster and would have it again.The staff was pleasant , friendly and efficient without bring in your way. The service was timely , no huge waits experiencesThe restaurant is set in pleasant surroundings in middle of lifestyle nursery which is always beautifully kept and vibrant with color.All in all a very enjoyable experience and definitely recommended for a stunning breakfast venue.They do have light lunches , proper lunches and decadent cakes too so we will be back again soon ❤️And next time I’ll be sure to take my own photos of our food too
