The Chef's Garden

Best Known For

Signature green chicken curry with house master stock, seasonal vegetables, infused rice, pickles, herbs and Asian-inspired dukkah.

Nestled within Empire Bay's lush Impact Plants Nursery, The Chef’s Garden on Poole Close offers a tranquil, garden-to-plate dining experience. Chef Lorrae crafts a seasonal menu inspired by the on-site permaculture garden, featuring herbs and edible flowers grown just across the road. The café's alfresco setting, surrounded by tropical greenery, provides a serene backdrop for enjoying wholesome dishes; highlights include the chilli scramble with chilli oil, Spanish chorizo, garlic mushrooms and confit tomato on sourdough. The whole-roasted loaded sweet potato, with salsa verde butter and zesty yoghurt dressing, caters to vegetarians; while for a hearty option, choose the steak sandwich, with rocket, relish, balsamic onion and feta, on toasted sourdough, accompanied by sumac potato bites.
