Café Ninderry & Yandina | Breakfast & Brunch, Sunshine Coast

A Fairhill grazing platter laid out on the timber table in the gardens

Award-winning paddock-to-plate food — seasonal, outstanding, unprocessed, local — in the Sunshine Coast's unique wildlife estate setting.

Locals may remember this much-loved spot through its earlier lives as Catbird Restaurant, Elements Restaurant and Picnics. Today The Gardens Café carries that dining story forward, paddock to plate.
