The Garden Cafe - Southwark
Lynne King We had heard this was a good place and booked to ensure we got a table. Busy. Cafe is the wrong term - the quality of the food deserves the name restaurant. Lovely, smiley service, short and extremely interesting menu. We had the great olives and focaccia to share with a glass of white and a very reasonably priced Bloody Mary. We shared the delicious scallops and then both had the crab. My goodness! Probably the best crabs we have ever eaten. Huge, very fresh and perfectly cooked. They are opened but not dressed so be prepared to get messy! I don’t usually like jelly but was intrigued by the apricot jelly with verbena. And after a superb meal I trusted the kitchen to make a great desert. They did not disappoint! I’ve of thr best meals for a long time. We will return. The coffee is also excellent.
