    A lovely moment for my husband’s birthday dinner. Creative food and generous, kind people. Always a pleasure to return.

    6.5/10

    This was our second visit after a less successful one this summer where we were placed in the “chef room “. The table was positioned where the staff continually had to pass from the kitchen to other tables which gave a rather disturbing atmosphere. The desert ordered was without notice replaced with a thin soup of berries and a scoop of icecrem. But as a new establishment we wanted to give it another try. This time it was on the ground floor and the room was nicer but acoustic challenged when larger groups had a quite loud conversation. The first course was ok but the main was meat - well prepared- but too chewy and desert again a less interesting experience. The potential of the ambience should deserve a better quality of food so the price is over rated compared to other restaurants in Cotignac. I will also recommend that the pass from the alley has some light as the passage is dark and a bit risky for people having mobility challenges.

    We had a birthday celebration and the staff took special care of us. They also provided vegetarian dishes for us. A perfect day.

    Beautiful garden covered with shade from olive trees. Friendly helpful service. Delicious food, but note it is fixed 3 courses and no choice for each course.

    Jardin SecretOwner

    Dear Steve, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled that the setting and service met your expectations and that you enjoyed our unique dining format. Looking forward to hosting you again soon for more delicious moments under the olive trees!

    The food was fresh and delicious. You might consider to change some of the cheeses to some with a bit more taste😊 Iverall we had a very nice time at the restaurant however the waitress forgot to bring the wine, but we managed to get it a little later.( She was very friendly from the beginning to the end even if the atmosphere was busy / maybe a little to few waiters for the number of tables they had to serve?!) We will be back 😊

    Jardin SecretOwner

    Hello, Thank you for dining with us and taking the time to share your experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the freshness and flavors of our food. Your suggestion regarding the cheese selection is appreciated, and we'll certainly consider it as we aim to delight all taste buds. We apologize for the oversight with the wine service. While we're glad you found our waitress to be friendly throughout, we recognize that the service was not as prompt as it should have been due to the busy atmosphere. We are continually working on improving our staffing levels to ensure that every guest receives attentive service, no matter how busy we are. It's wonderful to know that you had a very nice time overall and are planning to return. We look forward to welcoming you back and providing an even smoother experience on your next visit. Warm regards,

    Dear Marion, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the wait and the service issues you experienced during your visit. It's clear we fell short in delivering the prompt and attentive service we strive for, especially between your starter and main course. We understand how frustrating this must have been and appreciate your patience.

    This was the second time for my family and my first. It lived up to all my expectations and more. The gardens are spectacular and the ambiance and views memorable . We had a set menu that included fish soup, sea bass ( best I’ve ever had) and melt in the mouth puff pastry desert. It was worth the high ticket price in every way

    This is a charming Michelin guide restaurant. We made the earliest booking at 7 pm for a four course dinner that lasted almost four hours …must be the French way ???? I’ve never been to a Michelin guide restaurant so I don’t have enough criteria to judge. This restaurant does have impeccable service, organic foods grown by them or sourced locally, and the menu has daily rotations depending on seasonal food availability.

    Jardin SecretOwner

    Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted that you appreciated our commitment to organic, locally sourced food and impeccable service. The leisurely pace of our meals is indeed part of the French dining tradition, allowing our guests to savor each dish. We hope to welcome you back to our restaurant in the future for more delightful experiences!

    The restaurant ambience , decor, elegance- superb. However, it was extremely hot ( at 21:00). 2 big fans could solve the problem. Food was superb, there is no choice of menu, so advised to look ahead on the internet. Service was great to start, but then was very slow- it seems that the bottle neck is the kitchen… highly recommended

    Jardin SecretOwner

    Dear Milka, thank you for your review. Since your visit, we indeed installed some fans to help with the hotness of our region. Hoping to see you again in our restaurant.

    Many excellent features including setting and quality of cuisine. If the following little criticisms can be ironed out I will be fondly returning. 1) The seating is by wire backed chairs, or something similar. Golden oldies like me find them uncomfortable. 2) We didn't receive our main course until 1h 40M after arrival. 3) The wine list could have had some more affordable reds from off-centre areas. However our Crozes 2019 of Alain Graillot did accompany our perfectly cooked beef well. This restaurant has the potential to reach 9.5/10. 0 caractères A

    We really enjoyed our experience at Jardin Secret. We chose the 4 course menu (which might as well count as 5 as they offered us a variety of small starters to enjoy with a glass of champagne we chose to start the meal with). Service was excellent. Food was of high quality and nicely presented. Bring two stomachs!!! We hope to go back. Recommended!

    Le Jardin Secret is what we call in French ´une trouvaille’, it’s a hideaway restaurant in the lovely village of Cotignac. A beautiful lunch menu set up by the chef, you don’t want anything else. We highly recommend this restaurant!

    Dear Mark, thank you for your lovely message. We are happy that you enjoy your visit at the Jardin Secret , we look forward to see you a soon !

    We were a table of four for lunch. Our introduction on entering the restaurant was to our own private room, simply decorated but homely and welcoming. The food was excellent, the service excellent - every detail catered for. To anyone who may not have been before - well, well worth the experience. Well done !

    Jardin SecretOwner

    Thank you Anne for this beautiful review, we are so happy when we read your lines. We hope to welcome you again soon, wishing you a happy end of the year and a wonderful 2022.

    Another wonderful evening and delicious meal at Jardin Secret. It is really a delight. We were privileged to meet the original chef and creator of the restaurant who made a guest appearance. Everything is delicious and the team is so welcoming and friendly. As great in the winter inside as in the summer garden
