In our restaurant you will be able to admire beautiful views of Stormont while enjoying a wide range of fine homemade foods. Every day our chef will prepare delicious hot dishes to suit all tastes, as well as soups, scones, sandwiches and treats for the kids. Not forgetting a wide range of delicious cakes and scrumptious tray bakes!

After your thirst has been quenched and hunger diminished why not peruse our gift shop where we will have a selection of specially chosen items for you and your loved ones!

We offer a set menu on Thursday and Saturday nights to take away those mid week blues. Why cook when we can do it for you! For larger gatherings why not hold your events here? From engagement parties to birthdays we will have a package to suit you for any special occasion.

We will provide full table service in a relaxed, family friendly environment, making it a fun day out for all!

We visited this morning for breakfast with Santa and it was lovely, well organised, the breakfast was very good and the Elves were great. Mrs Claus was so nice and Santa was lovely. Fab morning with family and friends. Thank you

User

Was lucky enough to have been nominated for a recent competition and won!! Was welcomed by some lovely ladies in the shop and told to take a look around and I could pick whatever I wanted up to £50. Lovely shop, very helpful staff, very warm feel about it. You won’t be stuck for gift ideas.

User

This is a wee hidden gem. I loved my visit today as did my sister and aunt. The plants are very reasonably priced and the variety was superb. I also loved the gift shop. Again well priced. The food was excellent and your staff were very friendly. We had a lovely afternoon. I will definitely visit again and bring lots more money next time.

User

The food was outstanding and the staff were very chatty and friendly we both had prams with us and the staff were so attentive. I'll most definitely be back and the gift shop is also fabulous for all occasions. I'd recommend this place and I will be back.

User

My parents and I called here for lunch today! A beautiful sunny day at the Secret Garden. Fast and friendly service with excellent food and very large portions. The open sandwiches are amazing. Highly recommend! Thank you Secret Garden!

User

Me and my wife went for lunch on Monday along with our 2 year old child for the first time. The food was great, good choice on the menu and the staff where friendly and helpful. Price on the menu was good for the quality off food, was impressed. Don’t no what people would complain about. Was busy which is also a good sign. Would recommend it and go back ourselves

User

Great friendly family run business. There is a great selection of goods from plants to gifts. The restaurant is also lovely.

Of course the Christmas shop is my favourite, lovely selection of decorations, trees and lights. Was delighted when I won a Facebook competition, I was able to get a reindeer for outside my house that I have been saving for. Thank you secret garden.

User

For such a wet Easter Monday we went to the Secret Garden for a late breakfast (20 of us), we were very well looked after, the staff were polite and quick to serve such a large number. All the food was served at the same time and to a very high standard, I would highly recommended the Secret Garden for food, surroundings and service, they also do a 3 course meal on a Thursday and Saturday evening, I’ll look forward to a return visit

User

Fantastic place for lunch with lovely shop - something on the menu to suit everyone! Highly recommend!

User

Entered a competition to win £50 worth in the shop, nominated my daughter in law and thankfully I won! Shop couldn't have been more helpful from start to finish. I love the shop it has some beautiful gifts, very warm welcome when entering and the best of staff!! Couldn't recommend more

User

Big shout out to our lovely waitress Debbie. First time here and she made us feel so welcome. She even made us our favourite coffee! Will definitely be back. �

User

Best selection of GLUTEN FREE food in any restaurant about! The gluten free raspberry and white chocolate scone is freshly baked and to DIE FOR! The staff are absolutely first class! Portion sizes are generous and the upstairs has a beautiful view while you eat some scrumptious food. Highly recommended! I'll be back soon!

User

We visited the secret garden away at the beginning of opening and had not been back purely as we are not up that part of the world much, but we went yesterday (thur) it was really nice, had to ask for a menu but your staff were busy enough so it didn't bother me. The lady was able to tell us specials and we ordered lunch. My husband's burger had great flavour and my chicken staff was really filling. We decided to order dessert the cheesecake special and I had apple pie. I did ask for it heated but it came cold, I spoke to the lovely guy and he sorted it. It was a really good lunch, people go there to chill and have a chat and it is nice. Only one thing more eye contact with your customers x

User

I was at the restaurant yesterday and the service was great and the food was very good, my first time there but I will be back.

User

Food was delicious, service however was slow and while younger members of staff could not be faulted and were more than helpful & welcoming- our experience was spoilt by the attitude and comments of one older member of staff. This same member of staff then started to clear our table while my aunt was still eating. Shame but will not be in a rush back to this restaurant.

User

We had a really disappointing trip last week to the Secret Garden. We took our twin Grandchildren for their first visit and were initially impressed as they were given an excellent "Childrens Menu" which looked very grown up, and not just tucked at the bottom of the main menu as in many other eating places, and a good variety of choices. Decisions made and orders placed.......but were so disappointed when set in front of them (apologies I should have told you, the twins are aged 10) lovely lovely food but on coloured chunky plastic (Ikea I assume) plates �......the kind used for a toddler who sits in a high chair.

Very very strange.

Yes we will be back, but not with the twins!

User

Visited the secret garden today with family 8 of us in total a get together with family over on holiday from Australia have done this for the last 3 yrs and have to say today we were very disappointed in both the food and the service

The length of time it took to serve the hot food I feel was unacceptable and when it arrived was far from nice the girl that took our order was lovely but the staff that greeted us when we arrived were not very helpful at all on previous years the staff have always been so accommodating and so pleasant allowing us to go upstairs to sit in comfort but today we were told , we would have to wait until another group had left so they could put two tables together for us to be seated

Don’t understand why when there were tables that could have been put together right where we were standing , instead we stood around and felt we were in the way of others arriving in the restaurant , while they set up an area which really wasn’t meant to facilitate a group of 8

Love the shop and the nursery area but won’t be back to eat in the restaurant again ....

User

after waiting over an hour for a table for four,had to ask for menu's,two of our meals came out wrong,coffee had to be replaced was cold,no water after asking twice for it.There was no xmas pudding on the afternoon tea tray as advertised,was told that's a mince pie,I know its Christmas and a very popular place but this time I'm not impressed with the service or the food.

User

On a visit this morning (Saturday) to the restaurant for breakfast, we were shown to our table and waited more than 10 mins to be served, grant it was busy, but people who came in after us were served and got tea and scones while we sat and waited, needless to say we won’t be back but hey we got a fantastic and very courteous service 2 mins along.
