The newly refurbished Heide Kitchen is a delicious spot perfectly located between two of Mamma’s favourite places. The menu is full of flavour, featuring burgers, breakfast dishes, and grazing platters made with some on-site produce. Kids can enjoy calamari and chips or grilled chicken and chips, while pastries and baked treats are available for smaller appetites—Mamma loved the ham, cheese, and green tomato toastie, and little Mr 1.8 devoured a warm croissant. With spacious indoor and outdoor seating suitable for small or larger groups (prams are best left outside), Heide Kitchen is comfortable for families. They’re also planning picnic baskets so you can enjoy the gardens with your meal—keep an eye on their socials for updates!
