My family and I were passing through San Pedro at the end of a day of touring in the area. I had read several positive reviews about Garden Restaurant and thought it would be a good option for my family, which has varying tastes in...cuisine. Since they offered both Mediterranean, burgers, Guatemalan food, etc., it sounded like a good choice.
We arrived for an early dinner, around 4:30 pm and there was adequate seating in the palapa style restaurant for our group. A couple of tables were pulled together by the hostess and we were able to sit together. The hostess didn't speak a lot of English, but thankfully we had a few in my group who speak Spanish pretty well and we had no problem ordering. We started to ask about several of the dinner items on the menu only to find out that many of the items we were interested in couldn't be made because of limited or no ingredients for the dishes. We were told that there was only enough food for 3 kebabs, 2 chicken dishes and one hamburger. Those who wanted those specific dishes ordered them while the others ended up ordering breakfast food.
The food that was served was nothing exceptional. Kebabs were a bit dry and rather small. The family members who ordered breakfast foods seemed to be the happiest with their selections.
The restaurant is easy to find and is a relatively short walk from the pier in San Pedro. If you go up the hill from the dock and take a left at the first main road, you will walk about 5-7 minutes and the restaurant will be on the right. Just ask anyone where the Hotel San Antonio is located and they will point you in the right direction. Prices are in the low-moderate range, but unfortunately I didn't feel the quality of the food was at par with relatively low prices offered at the restaurant.More
