Overview
Amid the peaceful Christchurch Botanic Gardens, Ilex Cafe is a permeable oasis designed to complement the surrounding nature, not obstruct it.
Featuring semi-transparent walls and ceilings that softly filter light, a wide-ranging menu pays homage to the garden landscape through locally sourced produce.
Grab a coffee for a walk around the gardens or sit down to enjoy brunch specials like poached eggs benedict or a full-scale lunch such as slow roasted lamb shoulder.
