Garden Of Easton in Bristol, City of

Fabulous small plates, all interesting. How did they get that flavour?

Upstairs for dinner was a great experience. Lovely environment to sit, eat and chat, surrounded by greenery.

Excellent garden and restaurant treasure.

We had the most amazing meal at this fabulous place. All the many dishes we ordered were delicious. We loved all the plants and the great service. We will definitely be back!

A lovely, pretty restaurant with a great atmosphere- feels like you’re on holiday. Staff very friendly and the food was excellent quality. Will definitely book again when we come over from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Amazing food, wonderful staff. Even though they were very busy they were attentive and catered to gf (coeliac) needs. There is risk of cross contamination in their kitchen which they are honest and upfront about, but I've been fine both times I ate there and this last visit the food was absolutely phenomenal, every dish was so delicious. 10/10 would reccomend 💚💚💚

Love the cafe good staff The gardens are beautiful Love looking at the plants thet got

Incredible food, this place really delivered much more than I thought it was going to! A great night out.

Went for a family meal in the evening. Really loved the place and the food was delicious. Highly recommend

Delicious food. This place is well worth a visit to see the amazing space they have crated inside.

Looks lovely especially with all the plants but food is underwhelming and service isn’t great unfortunately, even when it’s not that busy

Wonderful experience with lovely atmosphere great food (as a person with coeliac I enjoyed the very good gluten free options) and very personable and helpful staff. Lovely place to enjoy with friends and family. Would highly reccomend this gem of a restaurant.

Gorgeous vibrant cafe with unusual brunch options like okonomyaki (savoury japanese pancakes) & different cakes. We got a vegan breakfast, okonomyaki, a dark chocolate brownie and an espresso pecan cake. Everything was a 10/10. We got there at 11 and stayed for a good 1.5 hrs, chatting and eating. Around lunch time there was a very long queue outside so i would recommend getting here early on a weekend. I prefer to try new places rather than going back to the ones i’ve tried but i have already planned to have dinner here with one of my friends in 10 days time. Pricing is okay too, we paid approx 21£ per head and that included a drink each!

Such a cool place. Feels like being in a jungle and the food is delicious. Dog friendly too 👌

An amazing garden cafe in the heart of Easton. Had a coffee each (very good coffee) and shared two pieces of cake (mango sponge & mango and date flapjack) and they were fantastic. Definitely recommend, but it gets really busy so pick your time carefully.

We had the most amazing time. The vibe, food as well as service we're absolutely brilliant.

The place looks amazing don’t get me wrong, but the service was so poor and quality of food was very average! The waitress looked so unbothered the whole time and just made us feel uncomfortable to ask for basically everything. It’s very sad cause I had such high expectations for this place!

Had a lovely meal here for our anniversary. The chef was amazingly accommodating with my numerous dietary requirements and made me a bespoke dish which was delicious. Friendly welcoming staff (they even wrote a little happy anniversary note with hearts on our bill!), loved the plants and would definitely recommend and revisit. Thank you!

Fantastic aesthetic and lovely staff. All the food and drink served here is just that much higher quality than you'd get in a regular cafe. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options are available

Delicious grub in verdant surroundings

Excellent food, awesome place to be

Lovely selection of dishes for a birthday celebration. Our server was patient and knowledgeable. The restaurant was a little quiet on a Thursday evening but that enabled our table to chat freely.

Delicious food, friendly and helpful service. The hanging plants are stunning. Lovely environment to spend time in

A very unique and creative aesthetic. It feels like an oasis within the city. The staff were all great and considerate when it came to adapting for celiac diet (plenty of gluten and dairy-free options).

A lovely meal in a great setting

First experience and I went with the very indulgent French toast. Soaked in cinnamon custard with butter, maple syrup and thick streaky bacon, this is all of your sweet and salty needs wrapped up in one. Will try their meaty breakfast next time!

staff are very polite but a service charge was put on automatically, without asking us despite the food taking forever and the drinks being extortionately priced. £3 for a tiny glass of orange juice, £4 for lemon juice and water (‘lemonade’). Waited over 45 minutes and haven’t been spoken to, or received any of our food.

Great food and coffee. The environment is wonderful and lovely with all the plants !

Went for lunch today, the food and smoothies was amazing 10/10- albeit it took a while to get the food to the table but that’s fine The main issue we had was the atmosphere and service, the short-haired lass who served us was incredibly blunt, and uninterested, and when she brought the food over she just clattered the plates in front of us and darted off, we weren’t given any cutlery either. We also spent the whole time we were there listening to her curse out her colleague directly behind us, it was ultimately a pretty stressful and uncomfortable atmosphere to be in. We have been to garden numerous times and never had such an unpleasant experience with a server before. Atmosphere gets an extra star because the plants are nice

Wonderful meal at the Garden of Easton, very chilled, super friendly & accommodating staff, really tasty food and as always the atmosphere is so cosy, I love it!!

Firstly the service was top notch, couldn't have done better. The restaurant itself was an experience with the most house plants in one location I have ever seen. The issue was really in the food which was mediocre. The house pickle was uninteresting, the muscles were in a overpoweringly salty creamy sauce. The Belly of Pork was amazing, but the celeriac puree and mushrooms were cold and not great. I really enjoyed the Buratta and orange. The tenderstem was nice and the aubergine delicious but greasy. The cakes were ok not overly moist and flavourful. All and all it was an ok experience. Would I rush back no. Would I refuse to eat here again no.

A really fabulous evening out with friends. The food was truely delicious and reasonably priced, with the hanging plants everywhere made it a lovely experience. Would definately go back.

Lovely atmosphere with lots of plants and light. We ate only the plant based dishes for dinner: The miso bean salad nibble was amazing, highly recommend this. Cabbage dish was great, the sauce was rich with flavour. Aubergine, meh, lacked anything special. Brocoli similarly boring and lacking freshness. Jerusalem Artichokes were strangely fossilised (burnt to a crisp) atop an unexplainable nut butter. Claggy and impossible to eat. Mixed experience, but the atmosphere was lovely and the lunch menu looks really nice, may have to give it a second chance.

Lovely ambiance and atmosphere. Felt a bit rushed. Waitress wanted food order straight away as well as drinks, without taking drinks order and giving us time to settle in first. Told that the food would come out as and when it was ready and not all together! The food itself was good.

A delicious decadent delightful experience. Lovely amicable attentive service beautiful atmosphere and incredible food especially the pork and aubergines.Will be back!

Just want to show how much oil was in the food, it disgusted me , and it was the end of the meal. The atmosphere was super nice but taste…

A real find. Great food, lovely staff and a very relaxed location filled with plants. Cakes and puddings are amazing. I will definitely go again.

Stunning restaurant 😍 the food was incredible! Multiple, delicious, vegan and veggie options

Really beautiful place with great food, staff and service !

Very poor service.. .I went there twice, the first time was for a breakfast. Upon leaving I felt overwhelmingly sick and started to cough and choke. I was having some kind of reaction to something they'd added to the salad. I was unwell for a week and even went to hospital for treatment. Afterwards I returned to speak with chef to find out what might have caused it! He said perhaps some very finely chopped nuts on the salad! I went there again today with a friend for a birthday breakfast, careful to choose a different option on the menu. When we finally got the waitresses attention, we received the menu and ordered. 1 and a half hours later! we noticed new comers were being served while we sat there hungry! I found a waitress and asked if we'd been forgotten. She rudely responded, were very busy 'love' when we saw other new comers had received there food, we went to the main counter to complaint. This young woman treated us with concern and care and got our meals out to us, apologised and suggested we receive the meal complimentary due to the inconvenience on.my birthday, She then returned to us somewhat embarrassed and said management had disapproved her suggestion, but we could have a free drink, we accepted, but given that my friends food arrived without some of the ingredients and when pointed out, they still failed to deliver. A free cuppa didn't suffice for the poor attention. I wont't be recommending this place. Generally staff are distant inattentive and the overall experience was poor. The attmospher was noisy and the air stale with the stench of sweaty bodies. We opened a window but it was quickly closed. Pretty decor does not compensate for poor service.

The food was okay, but not as good as previous visits. I understand the price increase but the quality has noticeably gone down in my opinion. Still a lovely place to eat but disappointed by the food sadly

Romantic atmosphere. We even had a free cocktail on arrival for valentine's. The food is always top notch 👌

Went on a Tuesday evening, first time, and fell in love with the place the moment I walked in. The staff were amazing and food interesting and delicious. One of my favourite places in Bristol, can't recommend it enough.

Lovely ambience and location, super friendly service.

Such a cute place to go! The entire cafe is covered top to bottom in greenery and plants, you feel completely immersed, as if you're part of a rainforest or tropical garden centre. It was really busy when we arrived but didn't take too long for us to get a table and despite the busyness we were served very promptly and quickly, with the food also not taking too long to arrive. The food was delicious and great portion sizes. Can't wait to come back here again and try something different.

Some of the food was ok, bit bland, small portions. service was atrocious. They repeatedly forgot water, didn't stop at a single point to see if we needed any more drinks. Avoided eye contact when rushing past and put 12.5% service charge on the bill. It's a gorgeous place, and the brunch is amazing, but I won't be back for dinner

Incredible and very affordable food as well as quick and friendly service, lovely relaxed atmosphere too!

Menu looked great, and I loved the abundant greenery. However I've never felt so unacknowledged in the 15 minutes I spent there. There was plenty of discussion between the three young women behind the counter, but nobody greeted or acknowledged our presence. Eventually after five minutes we were given some menus and told which tables we could have. And then - nothing. Three tables of customers stared into the abyss. With no indication that we would ever get any service, we left. Looking at other reviews, it seems we're not the first to have this experience. What a shame. To spare confusion, there isn't an option for £0 in 'how much did you spend?'

Menu looked great but staff engagement zero. 3 tables waiting to order, no one came. No one seemed to realise we hadn't been served when we gave up and left. 1.00 Friday

Great vibe and service - rapidly becoming a Bristol favourite.

Beautiful restaurant and the food far exceeded my expectations! Stunning and well sized small plates, the pork belly, mussles and aubergine dishes stood out to me. Really lovely and reasonably priced, I'll be back 💕✨ thank you

Colourful - Warm - Jungly The Japanese savoury pancake was new to me! And what a beautiful dish it is. I had to ask how they made it in the hope of recreating it in my own kitchen! 100% worth the trip.

Our first visit. Strongly recommended by family and friends. We loved the experience. Excellent vegetarian food and the plants were a total knockout! We'll be back when we can afford it. The best restaurant in Bristol now.

Our previous visit a couple of years ago was great, but the visit last night in Jan 2025 was really exceptional! Glad we decided to visit rather than stay in and will definitely be back soon! Of the many Star dishes, the Fried Aubergine, Battata Harra, were the stand outs Honourable mention for the Hispi Cabbage and the Mussels. Although the artichoke salad was great, the other Jerusalem artichoke dish fell short of the rest of the food and the guava chilli sour didn’t deliver despite sounding so good and being a popular choice of the group. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later, shoutout to the team for taking it up a few notches with the dishes.

This has to be one of the most unique cafes I’ve ever been to. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and had a delicious Turkish eggs for brunch. The staff were so friendly and we didn’t have to queue long despite it being a busy Saturday morning. It was slightly on the pricier side though!

Booked for a birthday event, the team were really wonderful and helpful talking us through the menu. I had only been here before for brunch but the evening menu was incredible, the food was delicious. Have recommended to others to try out both! Thanks team garden, made a really wonderful birthday meal.

I've eaten here many times for a breakfast/brunch to kick off the day. The options are plentiful, and whether you're meaty, vege or vegan, you'll find something you like. Staff are super friendly and it's a beautiful green plant filled haven to chill in for a few hours!

Decided to give Garden of Easton another try following a bad experience a couple of years back. I ordered a drink and my friend ordered some food and a drink. I was asked if I was going to order food and politely told her I was not. Another table who had ordered after us had received their drinks so I got the attention of a waitress and explained I was worried we had been forgotten. She looked irked that I would ask and told me she had done the order and it would come. I thankfully had some water in my bag so drank from that, I feel like they could have offered some water to keep us happy (we had been waiting for 20 or 30 mins or so for the drinks). Received the hot drinks and my friend her hot drink and food. Shame the hot drinks could not have been given to us before the food. A chai latte is a strong flavor to have with brunch food. Strange also that we were asked to pay up front with service charge included. In hindsight I would have asked for the tip to be removed and I would have left a tip (if I felt like the service was worthy of a tip).

Love it in here possibly my fave place in Bristol

An absolute delight! Fantastic food and drink. Really creative combinations of flavours and very satisfying portions. The atmosphere is really nice and the fact that this place occupies the same site as our former favourite restaurant: Maitreya Social, just feels right :)

Honestly the nicest food ever. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Counting down the days to payday so we can go again. Service and vibes were fantastic. Food is yummy. Simple ingredients made into divine dishes. 10/10 for Burrata, Carrots, Aubergine, Sea Bass. Not many chefs can make me spend over £8 on a plate of carrots but they were soooo delicious I would have paid more! Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Lovely experience and lovely food Great drinks selection including no alcohol

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

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

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 🪴

A nice place to enjoy British breakfast with natural ambience.

Best brunch in Bristol bar none!

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.

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.

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

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.
