Why it's worth checking out
The Potting Shed sits at The Grounds of Alexandria on Bourke Road, an inner-city Sydney suburb. Part of the famous Grounds of Alexandria — one of Sydney's most beloved destinations — The Potting Shed is a gorgeous garden bar and restaurant, combining quality food and good drinks with a stunning, lush garden setting full of greenery, character and charm.
The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and an absolutely beautiful, leafy garden setting at the celebrated Grounds of Alexandria, ideal for a relaxed lunch, drinks with friends, a special catch-up or simply soaking up one of Sydney's most photogenic spots. The magical garden atmosphere sets it apart, and it's clearly drawn an enormous, loyal following of locals and visitors.
