The Garden Room

Why not start your day with breakfast in the heart of Brisbane City at the delightful The Garden Room. Who doesn't love a classic Eggs Benedict, but for us it was the Kimchi fried rice with poached free-range eggs, toasted peanuts and coriander salad that hit the spot!

Post breakfast, a wander through the Roma Street Parklands and the beautiful Spectacle Garden, the hero garden of the Parklands, it's a seasonal showcase of vivid coloured blooms. You can collect a self-guided map from The Hub which will guide you around the 16 pieces of public art or you can join a free 90-minute guided tour hosted daily at 10am. (bookings are essential via the Roma Street Parklands website)

Before you know it, its lunchtime, so we suggest a pre-ordered picnic box from The Garden Room to enjoy on the Celebration Lawn under a tree and just let the afternoon drift away.
