A family cafe meal doesn't always have to cost a bomb. Plan a weekend visit to Food for Thought at the Botanic Gardens for affordable, child-friendly eats like Milk Chocolate Pancake ($7) and Fish Fingers & Fries ($8). If the weather is good, kids will love playing at the outdoor playground while parents dig into crowd pleasers like the Banana & Walnut Pancakes ($14), Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork Burger ($15) and Lemon Dill Fish & Chips ($18). Walk off all that food with a post-meal stroll around the gardens.
