"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."

"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."

"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!"
