Row always knew she would return home to create her own eating-house, a space that would reflect and enhance her beloved coastal lifestyle. Wild Orchid has an elegant, healthy, calm vibe that mirrors Row's philosophy: "I find great pleasure cooking with simple ingredients, and my reward is the pleasure I see in my customers' faces" The Coffee: Wild Rye's Coffee is roasted proudly in Pambula by barista Erin. Fresh roasting in their beautiful German Probat machine creates a superior flavour we love here at Wild Orchid.
