Food service is only available to guests of the garden with admission. Some locations are only available seasonally. Neither restaurant takes reservations.

The DeGolyer Garden Café
This exceptional venue is located in the DeGolyer Mansion nestled in the center of 66 acres at the Dallas Arboretum.

The DeGolyer Café is open from 10am to 2 pm daily except during festivals; during these times the café is open until 4 pm. Attentive service and a delightful menu await the guests of the Arboretum. The menu includes a Soup du Jour, Chef’s Special and several hot entrees as well as a special Salad Trio and Tea Sandwich Plate. Homemade desserts are a delectable finish to any lunch at the Café. Lunch at the DeGolyer Garden Café, whether inside, or on the Loggia, overlooking White Rock Lake, does not require reservations.

The Lula Mae Slaughter Terrace Restaurant
The ‘Terrace Restaurant’ is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm and until 5 pm during festivals. A menu of seasonal soup offerings, sandwiches both hot and cold as well as delicious fresh salads can be ordered at the Terrace dining window.
