This cute little cafe is everything you need for a great catchup with a friend. It's has a cute and homey but down to earth feel to it. The menu has a ton of lovely sounding options. I took the crepe and it tasted absolutely amazing! I would go back just for that!
I really love this place. I had my birthday there yesterday and I am amazed how great the service was. There were another big table behind us and the staff handled it fantastically. All of us had goodies from the breakfast menu. It was all so delicious. The big table behind us had what looked like a selection of canapés that looked amazing. Well done on pulling off great food, great service and ensuring your guests are always happy. Not many restaurants has the ability to have the consistency that Arbour has had over the years.
Cute cafe. The rear courtyard just adds that extra special element to the experience. Staff were friendly and accommodating, service was optimal and the food was just delicious and as my friend put it, hit the spot. Ambiance was relaxed and ideal for a Saturday lunch setting with loved ones.
This is such a cute little place to eat.
Disappointed by the waiter who didn’t give us the best service, didn’t check up on us to even order or find out if we needed anything.
But the food was great and the cuteness of the place
Great little hidden gem in Birdhaven. The courtyard at the back is a great outdoor eating space. The breakfast/day menu has all the usual options, and they’re done well. The only downside is that they don’t always have a good selection of pastries/cakes...but it’s a small downside.

What a stunning afternoon at Arbour Café. We arrived to warm and friendly smiles. We arrived much earlier than our originally stated time and nothing was too much to get our desired table
ready! What makes Arbour Great?
🥗 the food was fresh, crunchy and was a great combination of flavours
🍷 delicious wines per glass. Often i think: ‘really and you want me to order a bottle when per glass is this bad?’ Not this time! We had more 🍸
🥤 freshly squeezed juices with the correct hints to linger
🍰 They might not have had the dessert I wanted but my waiter Nevada (no he is not American) was totally accommodating where he could.
🧔🏼 From management to waiters, everyone was just friendly and fun.
🌱 Their secret garden courtyard is just stunning. At night it lights up beautifully! 💡
If you looking for an afternoon/ summer evening of great food, wine and a hidden courtyard, Arbour is the place to go.
Enjoy 🥗🍷🥤🌱🍰👨🍳🍸🔥 and let us know what you think!

Had breakfast with a friend here one Saturday morning. The outside courtyard is quite cute. It looks bigger in pics but there is limited seating so make a booking. I had the salmon galette and my friend had the brie omelette. Portion sizes are perfect and the food itself was yummy. I would definitely recommend this as a breakfast or brunch spot. Oh and dogs are allowed 👏
It's a nice restaurant and the green theme of the walls etc is pleasing to look at and adds to the Aura of the place. Good food and drinks. Thanks

Headed over to Arbour Cafe for my parent's 34th wedding anniversary and had a pretty decent time. The centre which this place resides in is an adorable little place right in the middle of a suburb. You can tell it's the kind of place people walk to for breakfast on a Saturday morning and I love that!
The courtyard where the restaurant is situated is lovely and even though it rained a bit this afternoon I still really enjoyed the location.
The staff were a friendly and very accommodating. I ordered the rosé pampelnelle, which wasn't nice at all, and she took it back and got me another drink.
For starters we ordered the baked brie, which they pair with a cranberry preserve and toasted walnuts - it was heavenly! Definitely worth a try.
For mains I ordered the beef burger, my parent's the duck galette and my sister had the chirizo galette. My mom called the galette "interesting" which means she didn't enjoy it all the much, but my sister said she enjoyed her main.
My burger was also nice but I am almost 100% sure they gave me a lamb burger instead of beef. My Dad also tasted it and said exactly the same thing. When I asked our waitress what type of burger she gave me, she confirmed beef...but I know what beef and lamb taste like. So I was a little unimpressed with that.
Our dessert was the apple and salted caramel crepe. The crepe was done perfectly and the apple was melt-in-your-mouth soft. They were a bit light on the caramel sauce unfortunately - which was the main reason I ordered the dish - and it lacked the promised salt. But still an enjoyable dessert.
All in all, a lovely afternoon and I think I will head back there to give them another go. But next time I'll likely order one of the galettes.
After hearing great reviews of this restaurant- I had to try it! It certainly lived up to all my expectations. I love the courtyard aspect and how homey the atmosphere is. My friend and I shared the creamy peri peri chicken sandwich and the grilled halloumi salad- everything was delicious! The service was great too; our waitress was so friendly & attentive. I will definitely be back to try out their breakfasts!
