Wonderful vegan food. Beautiful place. Awesome staff. Highly recommend!
I always have a lovely experience at The Secret Garden! The food is amazing with Vegan Friendly options! The service is always good and very friendly!
Quaint and cute - this is a little gem. Booked High Tea for 6 little girls. Les was amazing - professional , friendly and very accommodating .
The table was set up to make the experience a very special birthday treat for my 12year old. And this was much appreciated.
The savoury food items in the High Tea could do with a re-vamp.
The sweet items were tasty morsels of goodness. You have to have a macaron.
Tea and juice for the little ones were provided. And coffee for me.
The service could have been better - the waitress forgot about us and had to be reminded that the little ones needed attention too. Totally different to the warm welcome and accomodating attitude of Les.
The crockery and glasses were grimey - the little girls didn’t notice but I did.
However, overall, this is really a secret with sharing.
Thank you Les - the girls had a good time.
Loved our little stop in here for tea and pancakes on Saturday morning. Lovely food! Really enjoyed our meal and love that they have vegan options. Really good value for money too.

I’ve tried to find this restaurant more than once before today. It’s been a struggle.
Then once we found it, all we could see was an outside covered patio area that seemed to be all the restaurant consisted of. If it was, we were not impressed. However today my little daughter wanted cake so I ventured into this patio area. With trepidation.
We had a long wait for a waitress but once she arrived she asked if we did not rather want to sit inside. We were surprised to find out there was an inside section. We followed the waitress down the side of the building and into a quaint indoor restaurant.
The space is rather intensively packed with antique Afrikaner type furniture and decor. It looked warm and inviting though. My daughter brought all the tightly packed patrons to a halt mid sentence by declaring she wanted cake to the whole room.
Service was great and dispensed in a friendly manner.
We ordered a peanut butter and a vanilla milkshake. They really were pretty good. We both kept drinking till they were finished. Yummy.
My little daughter then ordered her chocolate cake. It arrived with soft fluffy cream and strawberries on the side. It was a generous portion and really tasted very good. We both munched on the slice and still there was some over to come home in a @doggy bag.
I then ordered the German Pork Fest with a frank (Enterprise??) and kassler chop with salads. Again the portion was generous and tasty indeed. I enjoyed the potato salad, coleslaw and pickled onions. The meat was great. I really enjoyed the meal.
One can see that thought and effort has gone into everything.
Overall we had a great visit and a delicious meal.
If you want a really cute and quaint atmosphere and what tastes like home-cooked food, this place is a real winner. The fact that they have meat, vegetarian and vegan options for quite a bit of the menu is so rare and wonderful! As a vegan, finding this sort of variety is so difficult, let alone in a "normal" restaurant that serves meat-eaters. The service was a bit slow as I think they were very busy but it was lovely to have what seemed like the manager/owner come past tbe table to find out how we are. Definitely recommend this restaurant. The food was simple and not fancily presented but definitely yummy!!
Absolutely superb vibe. Every second sunday there is a open antique market just outside bustling with activity and music. The food was really good and also vegan friendly. I highly reccomend a sunday lunch with someone special.

What a wonderful experience. We had such a ball. Good was exciliant. Will recommend this place for anybody. Staff was helpfull and friendly. Owner Arno Steenkamp was professional and friendly. Thanx to THE SECRET GARDEN!!!!!!
Wonderful setting, very peaceful and relaxing, soooo excited to find this quaint venue after some exploring round the antique shops!
Our meals were fresh and very tasty! My asparagus and corn quiche was light and fluffy - for me personally could have been taken to another level with the addition of some herbs or spice as I did find it very bland, however Mom’s really enjoyed her bacon and corn quiche! My daughter had the ravioli and the Flavours were perfect! Will definitely be back
The best kept secret on the East Rand - definitely worth a visit. Quality food and salads, just delicious. This lovely restaurant is out in the country and we always feel good when we are done eating.
Wow. I cannot recommend this cafe enough. The service is impeccable - helpful and friendly. The setting is gorgeous! We sat outside on a patio under a massive, lovely tree with a view of the huge craft market taking place surrounding it. And the food. Amazing!!! I had the quiche with the salad and a small fresh health loaf. Words actually fail me. Absolutely incredible. They have a large range for both vegans and meat eaters alike and the quality is the best that I have experienced in a long, long time. Bonus: the "large" cappuccino comes in a veritable bucket!

What a wonderful place in the city
A farm feel -I’m referring to the building style and it has a “ secret garden “ as you meander round the back you are greatd by a Tranquil water fountain in the Centre of the garden. Lime green tables bring a joy to this courtyard pop inside for a more traditional look with wooden tables and a chandelier or two for lighting Staff are friendly and professional. A perfect little get away for a meal or a snack
A plus point is the dedicated wheelchair parking spot at the entrance for those folks that have wheelchair or other mobile challenges.
Beautiful place with a lovely garden and a tranquil atmosphere.
Wonderful vegan and vegetarian options.
Friendly and welcoming service.
Definitely recommended!
Setting so beautiful.. food was delicious and so fresh. Staff were friendly
Super meal, breakfast and brunch menu options are excellent. Menu pricing is very reasonable and plated quantity is definitely for the ravenous 😊 Service is acceptable and efficient. Will always go back for more! For information purposes only... if you do not like soy milk, or are allergic to it, please ensure you read the ingredients thoroughly!
I had their vegan burger which was absolutely divine. Best vegan burger I've ever had. Their meat burger was also very good. The atmosphere was lovely as well definitely worth the stop
This is a really great restaurant, vegan, vegetarian options are great. For the meat lovers there are fantastic choices on the menu.
Great food in a lovely setting. The owner is very friendly and there are antique shops in the adjacent buildings for those interested.
