10/10We spoke about the Beiroa liquor and the owner brought us both a white port to taste. It was good but I still ordered a Beiroa as an after dinner drink. The entire Garden experience was top notch. We ended up with a wine cooler courtesy of the owner. Great host and we highly recommend trying the Garden restaurant.

10/10This was the best restaurant we ate at in Carvoierio. Maybe a bit more toward American fine dining than European, but fresh, simple preparations, friendly and knowledgeable service, and a well thought out space. A great meal.

Fabio always makes us feel welcome. The food is fantastic and he always pairs the most wonderful wine for me. The restaurant is cozy and has a warm ambience in winter. Definitely the best restaurant in Carvoerio

10/10The owner at this restaurant is a great host. He greeted us on arrival, gave us a choice of seating, made excellent recommendations for drinks, wine, dinner and dessert. It was our favourite night out in Carvoeiro. Highly recommend it.

8/10Service was great, everyone was really friendly and knowledgeable, although I was promised a flyer about regional vineyards which I left without. Food was lush. We visited late October and there was a definite chill in the air. Our meals would have been even better if they had been served on hot platters and our plates had been hot too. Overall a good restaurant that could be fantastic with a couple of tweaks. We all had a really great evening, thank you.

6.5/10The ambience is really nice but the service is too slow. Overall during our stay in carvoeiro it feels like standard is to have to wait for about an hour until your food arrives.
Garden Restaurante • Owner
First of all, thank you for your visit and review! Regarding the delays on the service, it is a fact that everyone is struggling for manpower, this is an issue in every activities, not just in restaurants and hospitality! And considering the informations from our guests from several areas of the globe, not just in Portugal and the less in Carvoeiro! Regarding our business, we are trying to change this situation! One of the possibilities would be changing our menu! But we truly believe that everyone prefers to have more elaborated and different traditional Portuguese food! Another option is to limit the number of guests, which is something that we are already doing! Thank you

9.5/10
Wonderful live music, great venue with beautiful furniture and great decor overall. Each of the people who work there are smiley, positive and pleasant, I just deducted one star because our table were out of drinks and food a couple of times and it took a long while for them to notice. I had the octopus which with the grilled aubergine was excellent. The dessert was a nice, wobbly panna cotta with raspberry coulis and a toucinho do ceu, almond cake which my fiance said was one of the best desserts she'd ever tasted.

9/10This was a very pleasant dining experience. Good food with live music to entertain which had the right level to be enjoyable but not conversation stifling! Service a little off but they were a couple of staff down and why rush anyway - we are on holiday! We would certainly go again.

4.5/10The waiter was very nice and helpful but I think they were short staffed that evening and service was very slow. Waited 2 hrs for our main meals which I can live with if they were attentive with drinks but I had to go looking for the waiter to request more. When the food came it was lukewarm at best and pretty bland. Nice ambience with a good solo act playing music but all in all it was bang average and disappointing.

10/10First visit to the Garden, all aspects were excellent. The service throughout the evening was first class, the food superb and exceeded our expectations and the ambiance, location and setting, including the singer was outstanding. Our favourite restaurant during our stay in Carvoeiro. We will be back!

10/10Fabio, I believe the owner, and his staff couldn’t have looked after us any better. The service was exceptional and we had a superb night because of this. And then the food, well, also super, our prawn starter so yummy I could have eaten it again! Our whole party of 7 truly enjoyed their food, no-one could fault any meal and the food was literally devoured. Oh and I left the wine choice to Fabio and both the red and white were excellent Portuguese wines. 10/10

The cataplana dish at Garden is the best meal we had in Portugal. The kind and knowledgeable staff provides a personal service and makes you feel very welcome. The wine list is very good, the food quality is great and the value for money is high. We came back to have dinner again and happily recommend this place.

10/10This is our second visit to the garden in the last 10 days and we are already looking forward to returning again soon. The menu is varied and all the items are incredibly fresh and prepared with great care and attention. The owner is involved in every aspect of the business and I believe that makes a big difference when it comes to quality and consistency. The restaurant is spotless and the interior is understated and inviting. A must try if you have not already had the pleasure of dining here.
