The Kitchen at Lantico Giardino in Lanseria is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8am – 4pm.

Following on from the forums extremely popular Farm to Table events, the focus for breakfast and lunch follows the same philosophy: sit under the trees and enjoy delicious, fresh food, using produce that has been sourced from the area. As it is on the cycle route towards the Cradle, it is a lovely outdoor option if you want to pop in for a coffee or breakfast after your morning ride. There is also ample space for kids to ride their bikes.

The menu is updated regularly and offers an array of scrumptious dishes. *Available on request

Lantico Giardino is also the ideal venue space for private functions, such as birthdays, christenings, bridal showers and stork teas to corporate lunches for up to 120 guests.

    The Kitchen did not present the orders as per the menu. There were items missing from the plate and when this was raised with the Waiter he was confused and did not know the menu. We had to request the items to be provided as listed on the menu - this was in relation to the baby chickens and fillet. The pollenta was missing with the baby chickens and the asparagus and artichokes with the fillet. We found a hair in one of the baby chickens and it had to be returned. When I escalated these issues to the Waiter, he said the manager Michelle would come over. She didn't come over and I had to go find her. The service was overall very slow. Also took very long to pay for my bill. I found the whole experience very disappointing and overpriced.

    Overall quite disappointed… Service is slow and generally poor… took a long time to attend to us after being seated. Waiter forgot our request twice. Did not ask what temp we wanted our steaks

    Great service from Thato ( if not mistaken). Cheese cake was a disappointment and slices too thin for the price. It’s not my first visit and that was my favourite dessert. Otherwise, beautiful venue.

    The Kitchen at Lantico responded on Thu 08 Jan 26:
    Hi Ntando. Thank you for the feedback and for the lovely comment on Thato’s service. We’re sorry the cheesecake didn’t meet your expectations this time. Our menu changes seasonally, and we’ll take your comments into account. We’re glad you enjoyed the venue and hope to welcome you back soon.

    The service was incredibly slow, it took forever to get the starters, drinks, food wasn’t that good either. The ambience was great, that’s about it. Myself and the girls were really disappointed.

    The Kitchen at Lantico responded on Tue 28 Oct 25:
    Hi Kinita, We're really sorry to hear you were disappointed with your visit. We experienced an unusually high number of walk-ins that evening, which affected our service speed. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been. We’re already working on improving how we manage busy times to avoid this happening again. I’m glad you enjoyed the ambience, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a smoother experience next time.

    Made a reservation and got there a d had to wait because we had no table. Service is slow and uncoordinated. Reception area is untidy.

    The Kitchen at Lantico responded on Tue 28 Oct 25:
    Hi Sanda, I’m really sorry you had to wait despite having a reservation. We had an unexpected number of walk-ins that evening, which affected our reserved tables and put extra pressure on our staff, leading to slower service. We’re already working on better managing busy periods to support our team and improve the experience for our guests
