Pavilion Cafe


The Pavilion Cafe is located in the centre of the Fitzroy Gardens next to the Tudor Village and Fairies Tree.

The original Kiosk was opened in the centre of the Gardens in 1908. This half-timber style building incorporated tea rooms, a band stand, a residence for the proprietor and public toilets. A dining room was added in the 1920's. The Kiosk was the first such facility in the public parks and appears to have been an immediate success.

The timber building was damaged by fire during 1960, later demolished and plans drawn up for a new Cafe, the present brick building was opened in 1964.


The Pavilion Cafe is now closed.
