Terra Viva Cafe has been serving up award winning food since 1997 and having been awarded Canterbury's Best Cafe in 2014/15 we haven't missed a beat since. Our philosophy is simple - fresh ideas, paired with equally fresh ingredients, and friendly service. A beautiful outdoor garden setting alongside the garden center, that has a playground for the children, makes for a vibrant place to eat and socialise. Our menus change quarterly with the seasons so our patrons will always see quality seasonal, and, wherever possible, local produce on their plates. And by local, we really do mean local, often harvesting produce from the garden centre next door!
