Garden Of Easton in Bristol, City of

I had French toast in this lovely cafe/restaurant, which was delicious. The staff are good but not the most attentive. The place is wonderful if you love been amongst lots of plants. I loved my time there. Nearby is a street with interesting ethnic food shops, too.

The most amazing food and atmosphere We plate-shared and it was absolutely wonderful 💯

Honestly, service was poor- I don’t blame the people because they were clearly kind individuals but they were absolutely understaffed. To the point it was hard to order a drink for a good while, felt like waiters were just ignoring the upstairs for a good while, and I felt annoying asking for a drink, which was sort of silly- had to ask for the bill twice, had to ask for a drink twice, just felt disorganised and I shouldn’t have to feel like a nuisance for essentially being a customer, especially when you consider how expensive it all is Also left with a nasty fever afterwards from something we ate. Beautiful sure but the service was leaving things to be desired tbh. Tried notifying the restaurant but the line was busy

Amazing place. Fantastic food. Longish wait for food but we were told that at ordering ( it was a busy Saturday lunchtime)

All great dishes except possibly the sprout number Belly Pork sublime! Very difficult to satisfy all parties at the right time - you’ve got to be prepared to go with the flow

The most beautiful restaurant I’ve been in. Lovely and helpful staff and the food is beyond good. Had a truly wonderful evening there and will definitely come back time and time again!

I recently visited The Garden of Easton, and while the place itself is absolutely stunning, with plants and drapes hanging everywhere, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. First off, I was shocked by the prices. The bill was seriously overpriced for what we got. To make matters worse, we were charged in advance, which felt a bit off — it just added to the sense that we weren’t being treated as customers but more like an obligation to get money upfront. Then, the whole tipping thing… I don’t mind tipping if the service is good, but it’s always a bit of a red flag when they automatically add a tip before you’ve even been served. It left a bit of a sour taste, especially when it took ages to get our food. When the food finally arrived, I was disappointed to find that the aubergine crisps were super oily and totally tasteless. Between the high prices, slow service, and underwhelming food, I’m not sure I’d rush back.

Homely friendly but professional. We need more places like this

Totally gorgeous dining experience

Perfect atmosphere and excellent food. Will 100% be coming back!

We visited the Garden of Easton with my partner and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh and well-prepared dishes that catered perfectly to our tastes. The atmosphere was a highlight—lush with plants and filled with cozy charm, it felt like a serene escape. The combination of natural decor and warm ambiance made our time there memorable. We both look back fondly on this visit and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and welcoming dining spot in Bristol.

Great to eat in this varied style of tastes, textures, colour. Etc fantastic. Brilliant way to eat and share.

Great atmosphere and amazing food, quality produce and ingredients used, will come again

Great place, tasty food and an interesting array of drinks. The service was outstanding. I'll definitely go again and maybe try it in the evening

Lovely place and great atmosphere and friendly attentive staff. Food promised more than it gave...seasoning could be better and some were over flavoured. Fish was not pin boned properly and arrived dry. It's a lovely place and just a few tweaks would make it excellent though prices were high for what you got too. Maybe we got an off night...

It's such a magical place! I loved every minute. We had to queue to get inside but we didn't mind. The place was busy on Saturday lunch time. We stopped for a breakfast. It was delicious! The vegetarian breakfast was so yummy and filling. It was a generous portion. The surroundings are amazing. Full of plants and oxygen. Very good service too. I would highly recommend it.

Lovely experience and lovely food Great drinks selection including no alcohol

There was a mix up with the reservation and the staff were so professional and made us feel very welcome. The food was fantastic and the setting was beautiful.

Not our first time here but as always, very lovely. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wine which was very reasonably priced. Lovely friendly service and gorgeous food, a real treat for us to go out at the moment due to financial constraints, thank you for making it so special.

Lovely restaurant with a lot of lovely plants. The atmosphere is unique and calming. The plants are well cared for and the food is amazing. We had the small platters to share and everyone went home full. My favourite was the pork belly.

Brilliant food in an urban jungle. The place is a garden full of plants making it a unique dining place. The service is fabulous and the food was amazing. Delicious and large portions.

Ate breakfast here with my daughter. It was busy so we had to wait a while to get our order taken but the food arrived quickly. The cooked breakfast was really nice especially the large mushroom. Gluten free options available My daughter had a vegetarian breakfast which she also enjoyed. She said the sausage wasn't her favourite type, a Glamorgan style, but she enjoyed the rest. Cakes looked great but we didn't try any , also gluten free options available. Would definitely visit again.

One of the prettiest places in Bristol. Hanging gardens really travel you. Delicious food with many vegan and vegetarian options. Delicious food, friendly stuff

Had a lovely brunch here, there was quite a wait for table but to be expected on a busy Saturday. It was well worth the wait as food was so good! Will definitely be back to try more, the Turkish eggs were perfect. Lovely setting as well with all the plant and lots of cakes available to buy!

great cozy atmosphere. nice staff and good service.

Friends and I shared mezze, smoothies and waffles. The mezze was tasty, so was the hummus and flatbread. The waffles were very good too but the strawberry smoothie was the most underwhelming smoothie we have ever had. Bland, pale in colour and lacking strawberry flavour-it looked more like a milkshake. We were unanimously unhappy about being charged a service charge without being informed at all it was on the bill which you have to pay even before you get served!!! We only realised because the amounts we paid didn't add up. This new wave of adding service charge and not even warning the customer, not even making it optional, is purely immoral. Service charge and tipping is acceptable as a standard when staff don't have a salary but in the UK, they do. If you don't pay your staff well, shame on you. It's not my job to pay to have my paid food brought to the table from your kitchen-this is literally the No1 thing on a job description of a waiter unless you want me to go tell the chef what I'd like to eat and then go collect it myself from the kitchen, no problem. Some of us check menus in advance and save up to visit a certain cafe to meet a friend, socialise and contribute to society and businesses with our custom. Demanding service charge as a given without consent, means you don't respect hard earned money. Not everyone can afford 10% tips so we might as well stop eating out completely. Demanding service charge before providing service is preposterous. None of us was given a receipt either. Is this honest and professional? Hm!!

Hidden gem!!! Beautiful presented food and such a cosy atmosphere, definitely be back again and highly recommend for a brunch spot! Or coffee and cake

Been here couple times, the food is great and the atmosphere is even better! Deffo recommend , perfect spot for a lil brunch and catch up 💅 both upstairs and downstairs seating. Parking is a pain so bear in mind if driving. The interior is beautiful 🪴

Gorgeous plants, food and staff. The Garden of Easton is always a great choice.

A nice place to enjoy British breakfast with natural ambience.

Went for dinner here and enjoyed the delicious tapas dishes. Would highly recommend the aubergine dish! Seasoning of all dishes was perfect and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. The attention to detail is unmatched. Staff are warm and friendly.

Always enjoy the food and service here. Especially like the waffles and cakes. Highly recommend this family run place which is always welcoming to my two year old. Not to mention the all the beautiful plants that make it feel cosy and intimate.

Best meal out I’ve had in a long time, have now been back many times! Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food

Best brunch in Bristol bar none!

Best breakie I've had in long time...

Lovely looking restaurant with yummy food let down by poor service. Ordered and was served 50 minutes later. Was told many orders came in at the same time. Surely inform your customers of this to manage expectations especially at lunch time when many only have an hour for lunch

The clue is in the name. Portions are reasonable. Price is out of reach for anyone on a low income band. There were five of us. We ate breakfast

the aubergine was delicious been three times and gets better every time

What a delightful space to enjoy delicious food! It feels like you're in your own beautiful, private world.

What an experience! This restaurant boasts an incredible atmosphere with greenery that is just complimented with incredibly tasty food of all varieties! Its a must visit restaurant!

Loved the plants and decor, and food was gorgeous

Beautiful venue. Amazing staff, so friendly and helpful. The sticky aubergine is a must!

Very friendly service. Could have been asked if we wanted more drinks/ top up of water whilst eating

Always make sure to bring people here, a place that doesn't disappoint!

Delicious food in an incredible setting with brilliant staff.

Fantastic environment with plants everywhere and welcoming staff. Lovely tapas too, especially the aubergine.

This is such a lovely restaurant. A plant filled oasis in the middle of Easton, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, gorgeous cakes and a great selection of brunch food and small plates. We had small plates for dinner and everything we ordered was sublime. Our server was a delight too.

6 of us went for my birthday, the food was excellent. Such a nice place to eat.

The food was really good and we were warned that dishes would come out as they were ready. The problem was that they came out thick and fast in any order. Our cocktails came half way through the meal after we had started on the wine. The starters came half way through the meal and the food came so fast that we were gobbling it as fast as possible to make room for the next plates on the table. This was a shame as the food was wonderful, but we did not have time to appreciate it properly. It would have been better if we had been advised to order say starters and cocktails, finish these, then order the main courses and the wine.

We went in the evening, we got the harassia potatoes which were nice, the pork which was OK, and the shared mezze plate which was OK. Not bad, just quite expensive for what it is and nothing that made us go "wow". In general the evening menu seems overpriced. For example, tomato and cheese is £8.9 whilst the pork (2 cutlets) is £12. Sorry, cozzy lives. I think you are paying more for the setting as it is very beautiful inside. I think I would come again in the mornings, the breakfasts look like more reasonable value for money and the cakes look nice. Tldr: nice place but go here for breakfast rather than dinner unless you are made of money.

The venue is incredible, the food scrumptious and the service is absolutely top notch! Thank you, GOE, for a beautiful evening 💚

Food was fantastic. What a lovely venue decorated in a very unusual way. Brilliant for our family of four including a vegetarian. Look forward to coming back in the future!

Cooked breakfast, eggs, bacon - stone cold. Beans too spicy. Turkish poached eggs, spinach stone cold, yogurt dressing fridge cold (should be room temp). Coffee tasted like the dregs of the pot. Service was very cold, just like the food. Also having to pay up front? Won’t be going again 😔

Really wanted to give this place a 5 star staff are amazing atmosphere is amazing and menueitems amazing. But was really upset to find that they charge extra to swap menu items around even if your getting something smaller such as replacing halloumi with a salad. But unfair when most places will replace something like for like. Can't charge people extra when taking thing away from the menu because of there allergies and trying to replace it with something smaller or less costly..

Really enjoyed breakfast at the garden of Easton. I had avoided it, assuming it was veggie or vegan only, but they sell bacon (which is a non-negotiable for breakfast..!) The setting is so nice. It's like being fed in a rain forest. The plants, colours and woodwork are all so beautiful. The food and service were great. I really enjoyed my breakfast. Portion was big without being overwhelming and I left very satisfied. I didn't pay, so no idea about costs, but I'd imagine the value is good as there was a queue outside within about half an hour of them opening. Would definitely recommend. No bookings here. Not sure why, but if you want to eat here on the weekend, go a bit earlier and be prepared to wait for a table.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent all round.

Short version: Ambiance nice. Service slack. Food variable – with an inability to poach eggs. Price hefty. Recommendation - Don’t go. Better food and service are available at half the price within a short distance elsewhere. Long version: I thought I had posted this review previously. However, during a conversation last night, a couple of friends brought up their experience of the Garden of Easton unprompted, noting how poor it was – especially the appalling service (food not good either). Finding it such a funny coincidence, I tried finding my original review to show them, but couldn’t find it. Now I’m wondering if a business can have negative reviews removed? I visited the Garden of Easton about 18 months ago for breakfast with two others. The ambiance was pleasant, with plenty of real plants and a mellow vibe. Unfortunately, the mellow vibe didn’t last long, as we waited excessively to be served or even be given menus. When finally served we ordered some drinks whilst looking over the breakfast menu. I was surprised to be asked to pay for the drinks immediately - on a pay as you order basis. It took a long time for the drinks to arrive, at which point we ordered our food. Another long wait followed, prompting us to order a second round of drinks, which took just as long to arrive. When our breakfasts eventually arrived, I was annoyed at the two poached eggs I’d ordered, which were as bouncy as squash balls (yellow dots). The waiters had the observation skills of moles – I had to physically walk to them to gain their attention. After another long wait, I received two replacement eggs – boiled, not poached – by which point most of my plate was already finished. I informed the completely oblivious waiter it was too late, but this didn’t seem to register. I told companions I wouldn’t be providing a tip, especially as the breakfast was already overpriced. At this point I checked the bill, noticing a 15% (I think) service charge had already been applied - in advance! I was astonished a customer service tip could be applied ahead of the service being received, particularly as it was dreadful. As discussed with my friends when reviewing the latest Garden of Easton reviews last night, I cannot believe this place has received so many 5-star reviews. I initially thought my visit might have been an off day for both the kitchen and service staff, but after hearing my friends' experience, I felt the need to repeat my review (not verbatim) -especially since my original one seems to have vanished. I’m happy to provide the part of my credit card statement that shows the date of my visit to the Garden of Easton – definitely not a Garden of Eden.

Delicious food, polite and efficient staff, strong wifi connection. Good place to get work done, but also have a yummy meal (seriously, I can't emphasize enough how good the food was. And if you're thinking of trying the Shoom Latte, do it!). The restaurant was pretty busy even for the middle of the week- tables were full, and there were toddlers running around- so not a place for a quiet meal if that's what you're after, but the atmosphere was very light and social.

This is a truly magical, jungle of a restaurant tucked away in Easton, definitely a destination restaurant, make sure you book for the evening. You can't book for breakfast or lunch. The decor/hanging plants are amazing, I would love to know how they maintain them! The food isn't strictly vegetarian but leans in that direction, tapas/sharing plate style. The staff are charming and very helpful, highly recommended.

Awesome food, Fantastic Service. When cash (freedom) is reinstated all will be 100% in the Shire.....

Came in for an early lunch! Had like 2 minutes to order as waiter kept coming over so wasn’t really happy with my choice, but we make our bed. Also found it weird we were asked to pay before we’d even receive the food, seems a bit pushy. Bacon was dry, sausages burnt, the mushroom had the texture of leather. My friends waffles were saturated in yogurt couldn’t taste anything else (she had like 2 bites). I’ve lived in Bristol my whole life and considering it’s called “the garden of Easton” was definitely expecting more than a gentrified building and an over price brekky. Wouldn’t recommend.

I can’t believe after 3 years of living in Bristol I have only just visited the Garden of Easton. Had the veggie breakfast this morning and it was amazing, great portion size and really quality ingredients. Nice ambience with all the plants and paintings and friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back!!

Really beautiful restaurant/cafe. The plants and general design of the place made the atmosphere perfect. Service was fantastic and the food was wonderful - the Japanese pancake was straight from heaven and so was the green goddess salad and Turkish eggs. Could not have been happier there. If I lived near here, I would be there more than my own home.

Good food and gorgeous atmosphere. Drinks service was a bit slow, but with a queue for tables, I think that's to be expected. Well worth a visit!

would have like to have seen slightly more options on the mains/taps menu Overall a lovely atmosphere and good quality food 4.6 out of 5

Seriously delicious food, meat and fish was a bit overcooked. Service a tad slow.

Beautiful setting and the food was excellent

Ate here for lunch on a Wednesday and dinner on a Thursday. We didn't book but were lucky both times. The ambience is wonderful, truly an indoor hanging garden. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was outstandingly good and a bit different. The meat and veggie options were varied and all interesting. For dinner we had seven small plates between three which left just enough room for the fabulous desserts. Easton Mess is highly recommended and was lifted to excellence by the berry compote.

Lovely service to go with a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go again. A little pricey but everything else made up for the price.

What a lovely oasis - loved sitting with all the plants around us. The cocktails were all delicious and the food was carefully prepared. The dishes are tasty - I figured that 3 of the 6 things we ordered were absolutely spot on. The other 3 were good but just not *as* good. Excellent value for money and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a great time in relaxed setting- the plants are an enviable delight!! The food was excellent

Dinner was great and service was lovely. Shout out to the new girl who was doing a great job learning the ropes!

Our new favourite place when we visit the area.

The best small plates offering in Bristol. Every dish we ordered was so tasty, even for those that weren't keen on the primary ingredient. (I hate aubergine, I loved the ones here). You will not be disappointed if you visit. Better than Bravas .

Nice decor with real plants. I had a mango, apple & basil smoothie which cost £4.80. Tasted like the juice from Aldi, NO basil. Can't use cash here, too gentrified for the area.

The food was very yummy and good quality.

Lovely eatery, filled to the brim with house plants and twinkly lights. Great atmosphere and very ready tapas style food. Will definitely go back.

We had a lovely family dinner. The restaurant catered for vegans, vegetarian s and omnivores. We were very satisfied with the food. The jungle of plants gives a lovely atmosphere.

Relaxed restaurant with superb food that are creative. It's tapas so it is encouraged to buy multiple dishes. They come different times so cant take a picture of all of it together. It is a bit annoying as there were some vegetable dishes I wanted to pair with a meat dish but everything came and the vegetable dish was last. It was still nice but think it wouldve been great with the meat. Area isnt the greatest or safest in Bristol but we had no problems.

One of my fave brunch spots… The Turkish Eggs are great!

One of those places you just wished you lived closer to! Small plates and on looking at the price you might think way too expensive for small plates, average £9/10, but the taste makes up for the price! They advise 2 or three each which would work out pretty expensive for three of the most costly ones. I'm veggie so not too bad. Obviously vegan friendly and good for vegetarians too, which makes a change as it's hard to find vegetarian food now vegan has taken over. The restaurant is so green, so many plants, window boxes, hanging from the rafters, it was amazing. We ate on a really hot day and it made us feel like we were somewhere in Europe. Staff could not have been nicer or more friendly. Lovely bottle of wine, £21, to compliment everything. I'm sad I'm not local but my bank is pleased!

The small plates in the evening were delicious. The sticky aubergine was amazing. We also rated the burrata, lamb koftas and Middle Eastern beetroot. I was in heaven with the glorious plants everywhere, and our waiter was friendly & attentive. We had a superb evening.

Great restaurant - been a couple of times now, and always brilliant food and atmosphere...

Amazing brunch spot. The service could be better - we got our food well before our drinks.

Always a great experience. Lovely food for vegan vegetarian and meat eaters

Fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere and really lovely staff. Not sure why I have never been here before. The beetroot and shallot dishes were to die for. I will be back when I am next in Bristol

Always nothing short of amazing here. Truly unique surroundings with a creative menu. The Japanese pancakes are delicious and I think best shared with another along with something else. Great place for a chilled weekend brunch. Very Bristol.

Pro: Nice interior. Vegan options. WiFi Cons: High prices. No exeptions or switches in menus 😅 no chance. Extremely slow, took easily 15min for a coffee. Little choice.

Cute place, nice staff. Managed to walk in without a reservation without issue. Didn’t have an exciting breakfast (eggs on toast) as I was just wanting something simple but it was still delicious. Coffee was also really nice

What an absolute haven of serenity. Beautifully designed and decorated with wooden features and an abundance of plants. Then the food arrives and absolutely blows us away. DELICIOUS! Great service too. Highly reccomend. ☺️

Been a few times now. There is nothing to fault about this place or the staff. Being surrounded by well looked after plants, murals and hangings while you eat creates a really immersive atmosphere. The food plates are fast to arrive, varied and amazing. The puddings are also amazing. There is a great selection of alcoholic and soft drinks. The staff are super friendly and attentive. There is a big range of table sizes so it's perfect for both groups and couples. The prices are fair enough for how great the overall experience is and the effort the staff clearly put in. Will keep returning as long as the prices remain reasonable.

A must visit for anyone living in or visiting Bristol. A superb lunch meet up place for food or a drink. Gorgeous hanging plants everywhere. The garden breakfast is amazing as well as the patatas bravas - it's all great. Would book online if worries about seats as it's so well acclaimed and a smaller cafe compared to the big chains.

Lovely jungle with lush food and drinks 💚

It gets better every time I go. Which is really saying something.

Will definitely go back here. We had a lovely time. Food, ambience, service all 5*

Fantastic find. Great good, great service and great atmosphere. Faultless..

Food was tasty and different. Really good service and such relaxing surroundings. Will definitely be going again

bloody delicious dinner, lovely staff, beautiful interior. The sea bass and carrots were our favourite

This is a great find. Lovely bright and cheery restaurant, great variety of sharing plates and helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

Great food. Staff friendly and attentive. Loved the plant decor. Would have preferred a better table away from kitchen. Would book again.
