Newlands Restaurant

Garden Patio

Unhurried, generous, and quietly unforgettable. Itโ€™s the kind of place you visit when youโ€™re not in a rush. And if you are, youโ€™ll quickly forget why. Lunch lingers into late afternoon. Conversation stretches. Time softens.

Time slows and tortoises roam

A menu that leans into comfort

Light bites, timeless mains, and indulgent desserts served without ceremony. Here, the pace is slow, the garden is glorious, and everything tastes a little better when eaten al fresco.

Food that doesn't lie to you

Our chefs understand that real nourishment should taste amazing. We are a predominantly scratch kitchen, and we source homegrown, free-range, seasonal, and local products that actually fuel your body and your soul.

Every bite is made to reconnect you to flavour, to texture, and the act of eating without distractions. Fork down. Phone away. Taste. Food is our love language, and we want to give you a massive hug.

Afternoon Tea

Taste, tradition, and tranquility

Join us for a contemporary Afternoon Tea experience in Morii : delicate sandwiches filled with creamy labneh and fresh herbs, light pastries that melt in your mouth, fragrant jasmine bonbons, luscious tarts, and moreโ€”all paired with a selection of fine teas and infusions.

Top tip: Try our special Vineyard Blend that you wonโ€™t find anywhere else.
