Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The food was as good as the view and service provided! We were a group of 6, attached below are the main meals we had. The salmon I had was beautifully cooked and presented. Furthermore, a weakness I find in most restaurants is the rushed/lack of creativity in the deserts, this amazing place did not follow suit. The cheesecake and blondes were sensational (attached below).Thank you The Garden team for your hospitality!"
"If you’re looking for something special where the food is as equally spectacular as the views, this is the place to go. All the dishes were perfectly crafted and presented. The grilled chorizo was one of the best I’ve ever had and the salmon tartare had the most amazing flavours. The poussin was more like half a chicken which was succulent and moist, accompanied with the most perfectly cooked rice. For what we had and the setting it’s extremely good value for money."
"Absolutely loved The Garden Restaurant in Frigiliana! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. And the view—just breathtaking! Sitting on the terrace overlooking the hills and sea made the whole experience unforgettable. A must-visit spot if you’re in Frigiliana!"
"Great place. Great food. What else ? Chorizo & falafels were sooo good. And the view is stunning. 100% recommended. Booking is a must !"
"We recently went for a dinner on a hot summer evening. Fantastic place with views. Get a table outside on the terrace under their cool looking awnings. Service was fairly quick with most tables taken and the staff is courteous. We got vegetable fritters, sea bream and the date dessert. All outstanding and the right quantity. The best part was the beer served in black porcelain glasses that kept the beer satisfying cold for a long time. Total bill was €80 for two. Make reservations; this is a popular place mainly for location but fortunately also for the good food."
"Wow! What a fantastic lunch... Particularly loved the prawns. The waiters were absolutely lovely, service was brilliant. Stunning view too. We could have stayed all day!"
"Great food with good ingredients, creative menu, fantastic service, and a beautiful location. The restaurant had been on my list for a while, so I was happy to be finally able to visit for lunch the other day. The three of us had difficulty choosing because everything looked great. Service was fantastic and knowledgeable, including the friendly feline staff member. I'm definitely coming back soon to try out more of the fantastic menu. I highly recommend!"
"Everything about this restaurant was simply perfect. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded all our expectations. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, the view was breathtaking and created the ideal atmosphere for a relaxing lunch. I’m so glad I chose this restaurant out of all the options for our day trip, it truly made the day even more special. I can’t recommend it enough!"
