Welcome to the Orangery

The restaurant of Meise Botanic Garden

Walking works up an appetite... and makes you thirsty! Fancy a nice beer, steaming cup of coffee, or homemade lemonade? Enjoy a delicious lunch in our 19th century Orangery.  In the past, the Lord of the castle used the Orangery to house his 'orange trees' and other exotic plants in winter.  On a sunny day you can enjoy sitting on the terrace by the pond, while the children play in the Adventure Forest. The Orangery team do their best every day to make your visit an unforgettable experience.
