Reservation

We are open and looking forward to welcoming you back at the Cafe!

What we do…
to keep customers and staff healthy and safe and at the same time provide the well-known comfortable atmosphere at our Café….

We operate with 50% capacity and maintain a 2-meter distance between each party in our dining area and porch.
Some chairs and tables have been removed to make sure aisles are wide enough to allow room for people to maintain physical distancing.
We control access to the Café by asking guests to wait to be seated and by encouraging our customers to use our reservation system. We also provide a waitlist app with technology to notice parties when their table is ready, while waiting outside.
We encourage guests to use a hand sanitizer by setting up a table at the entrance area with a hand sanitizer.
All table condiments and other frequently touched items have been removed and each table and parts of chairs will get thoroughly sanitized after customers leave.
Menus as well as our Payment terminal will be sanitized before and after handing them out to customers.
Servers and kitchen staff are wearing masks and are required to even more frequently wash and sanitize their hands.
Enhanced cleaning and sanitation are required from our staff and Covid19 signages are posted throughout the facility to maintain awareness.

Location

The Reader Garden Cafe is somewhat discreet tucked away behind the trees and shrubbery that shield it from the traffic on nearby Macleod Trail and 25 Avenue S.E. It isn't the most prominent of spaces but truly a hidden gem.
Only hints of what lies beyond the large conifers are found at the base flower bed near close to the parking lot and near the welcome sign … Reader Rock Garden. Follow the pathway upwards and stroll along carpets of naturalized bulbs, mature trees and shrubs to the historic building.
Handicapped drop-off and parking (2 stalls) are available at the Cafe with access from Spiller Road.
