Backyard Cafe opened in late 2015 offering healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner options right by the Royal Palace.

Note: The information provided in this review was correct at time of publishing but may change. For final clarification please check with the relevant service

Backyard Cafe was created by the original founders of Artillery Cafe - sister and brother team, Emma and Jonathan Fountain. They’re no longer associated with Artillery so they’ve reinvigorated the concept in a quiet street right by the Royal Palace. 

There isn’t a backyard. But there is an upstairs area. Things get very busy at lunchtime.

The focus is still on healthy offerings, including dishes for vegetarians, vegans and the gluten- free. There are righteous juices, salads, sandwiches and other packages of goodness. And of course, there’s coffee. 

There aren’t a lot of meat dishes on the menu but we spotted chicken and salmon options. 

The owners vouch for the organic quality of the supply chain - but sadly, not much of it is grown locally. 

Backyard is also a good spot to pull into for some reading or work. The wifi seemed speedy too.
