Absolute gem hidden away with currently only a Palmers garden centre nearby. This appears to be a new complex and this restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the food delicious. If your near Murrey’s Bay/ Browns Bay look it up for lunch or dinner. We arrived around 10:00am and they were open. Regards Pelican Crusaders YouTube.

It’s a busy spot but sitting in the lush greenhouse is really lovely. Pre booked tables are allowed, great for lots special events and large parties. There’s always a line but the staff is very quick at taking orders. We loved the GF orange cake. The matcha and turmeric latte taste authentic and not overtly sweet. We forgot to order decaf and staff kindly took back our order and exchanged for a decaf long black. For a busy spot, things do get missed or take a while, just be patient or kindly ask the staff. Smell the roses! What’s the rush?
