Arbour Café (Birdhaven)

This courtyard eatery is the perfect space to unwind in the leafy suburb of Birdhaven. Pick a table out on the centre court eatery and enjoy a selection of dishes from the European-inspired café menu. The mushroom galette is a must-try, the soft savoury French buckwheat pancake enveloping a creamy exotic mushroom sauce. If you’re in a mood for a sandwich, try the creamy peri-peri option. It’s also the perfect place to pop in for a slice of delicious cake, a coffee and some sunshine.
