Service was excellent. The burger patties had was too raw even though I requested well done & the burger & chips were only lukewarm warm, as was the coffee. Portion sizes were value for money. Desserts did not cater for coelliacs or for nut/egg allergies/anaphylaxis. The booth was comfortable with plenty of room for two people each side but inside was warm but very noisy. Experience was better a year ago when I visited this establishment.

About the restaurant
The Potting Shed is a place to meet, eat, drink, relax and chat your day and night away – where hanging plants, terracotta pots and timber beams meet brass, brick and iron. Where you can plant yourself down on the swing seat, bench or at the bar and feel like you are on your family’s porch.

It’s a lively place where you can hoe into fresh, locally harvested produce, delivered by our shed-hands. The same hands that will deliver you good-natured banter, craft beers on tap, great tasting wines and unique cocktails.

The menu offers cozy share options for groups, three course substantial meal choices for those wanting to make an evening of it and a fun selection of nibbles for people wanting a light after-work snack with their cocktails or a share jug amongst friends.

Plus, enjoy exclusive after-dark access to The Grounds of Alexandria's latest laneway attractions when you dine in!

About the restaurant
Margaret is a neighbourhood restaurant at its core, but it’s also evolved into something more than that. It’s about comfort, generosity, and cosiness.
At Margaret, we work with the best quality produce that Australia has to offer. Chef Neil Perry AM has spent years developing relationships with some of the best suppliers in the country. We are predominantly a seafood restaurant and are very fortunate to receive our seafood direct from our fishermen, caught sustainably and dry filleted here onsite at Margaret, so we can ensure that all that love and care our wonderful fisherman have taken is seen all the way through. The menu at Margaret is diverse and inspired by all the flavours that Neil has been collecting over his 45+ years in the industry. Margaret

Beef burger was a generally alright dish, nothing special for how popular the place is. Avo toast with the chilli, we were told there was minimal chilli but instead they dollop quite a large amount, good if that’s your thing, bad if you originally didn’t want chilli. Would recommend for breakfast as they have much better options, particularly pastries, but find somewhere different for lunch in future.
