Worth it for the patio - Edit
Beautiful patio, a couple vegan options but pretty limited. The food was tasty, but very small portions for the price. We also waited a full hour for lunch (soup with bread)

Some delicious vegan items - Edit
There are a few vegan items on the lunch menu, and they are delicious! The soup of the day was really, really good - it had potatoes, lentils and other things. I’m so glad I ordered the sweet-potato fingerlings with dip - they were excellent! (Unpeeled, no doubt super-healthy.) The house-made lemonade was good too. Everything is garnished with sprigs from the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific gardens.

Charming restaurant - Edit
The restaurant is situated right next to the beautiful Gardens at HCP! Currently only their patio is open for dining and has a beautiful view of the garden. Their Eggs Benedict can be made vegan, however, please note they do not use egg substitutes to replace the egg, they just add more roasted veg & sweet potatoes but was still tasty with their amazing cashew hollandaise sauce! Their drinks were great as well😄Make sure to check out the Garden after your meal (admission is discounted if you show your receipt from the restaurant!)

Charming and delightful - Edit
Warm service, soothing garden views and yummy food! What a treat to visit HCP and this lovely restaurant. We were on a tour of gardens and while a few gardens have beautiful teas, I didn't come across any with vegan options until here at HCP at Charlotte and the Quail. I was delighted! I had delicious roasted veg and my partner had a wonderful roasted pumpkin open sandwich. They make a great almond latte and even carry beer! We took a slice of cheesecake home and they thoughtfully gave us a frozen piece so it would keep on the drive home. It was the best vegan cheesecake that I've had! I can't wait to visit again. I didn't see Charlotte the cat but I did see Albert the cat at the HCP gift shop!
