The Secret Garden - Σύμη

We visit the infamous 'Secret Garden ' restaurant. Infamous because some online sources reference it as one of the best restaurants in the world???? Ok, pretty decor in a plant covered veranda. Lots of people are smoking in there! The menu is mezze style, so not a restaurant. Music is billed to start at 9, so we order a few plates. The zucchini balls, the feta in filo with honey and figs and the lamb lemonata. They are tasty but nothing amazing. We order 2 more plates, the roquefort chicken and the feta and peppers. Both are underwhelming and we don 't finish them. After 3 depressing self indulgent songs from the musicians, we take our leave. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–25

Superb exotic and 100% local restaurant with dishes to share. The manager speaks French which immediately makes it easy to understand the menu and have fun. On the other hand, hold on, it’s going up! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
