Quince

Quince is a restaurant and deli set inside Little Orchard, a nursery in Diep River, which opened in mid-December 2019. The deli's shelves hold a wide range of jams, preserves and pickles made to stock a pantry, alongside a selection of frozen meals that proved popular even when the restaurant could not seat guests during lockdown.

The restaurant's patio is its prime spot, especially in summer, with dappled shade and a view over the nursery's Little Orchard display, a massive oak tree, and colourful flowering plants. The setting reflects a wider trend of nurseries adding cafes and casual restaurants to their premises, turning a weekend plant-shopping trip into a longer outing.

It suits plant lovers and diners who want a meal with a garden view, or deli items such as preserves to take home.
