Le Jardin D'Eden — Restaurant in Lisbon

I recently had the pleasure of visiting "Le Jardin D'Eden" and it turned out to be the perfect spot for some quiet relaxation, accompanied by a quick bite. The moment I found it on Google Maps, the enticing pictures sparked my interest, and I was eager to experience it for myself.

Upon arriving, I was immediately impressed by the location. The design struck a fine balance between boldness and elegance, with an abundance of marble and lush greenery that created a soothing and inviting atmosphere. The choice of materials and the careful attention to detail truly enhanced the overall ambiance. The tranquility was further complemented by the pleasant background music, which added to the serenity of the surroundings.

I visited at around 2pm and was delighted to find a spot without any hassle. The service I received was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. As I perused the menu, I noticed it was thoughtfully curated with a small but well-balanced selection of dishes. Despite its size, the menu offered a good variety of choices to suit different preferences. I was indecisive about what to order, but the waiter graciously provided a fantastic suggestion that surpassed my expectations.

For my starter, I opted for the tuna and avocado tartare, which had a delightful hint of spiciness. The flavors were expertly balanced, and the combination of ingredients was truly enjoyable. It was evident that great care had been taken in the preparation of the dish. Alongside my meal, I ordered a simple sparkling water, so I regrettably didn't explore their wine list.

The music playing in the background added to the overall ambiance without being intrusive or disruptive to my reading. It was a pleasant, easy-listening selection that further enhanced my experience.

To conclude my meal, I decided to indulge in a dessert. While it was satisfactory, it didn't quite match the excellence of the previous courses. Nevertheless, it provided a sweet ending to my dining experience.

In terms of pricing, my bill amounted to approximately 25 euros, which included a starter, a dessert, and a bottle of water. Considering the quality of the food, the attentive service, and the peaceful atmosphere, I found the prices to be reasonable and well worth the experience.

Overall, "Le Jardin D'Eden" exceeded my expectations as a tranquil oasis where I could unwind, enjoy a good book, and savor delicious cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a serene dining experience in a...

I’ll start with the positive points. The restaurant has a lovely and cosy garden and the cocktails are really great. However, the food was average and disappointing. The butter that comes with the bread is a small packed little thing. We ordered the steak tartare with French fries. The waiter came back telling they were out of French fries and asked if we wanted coconut rice with the raw meat instead! This should have warned us that neither waiter nor cook have a clue about the food they cook and serve, we should have cancelled the order…..after a bit of discussion they came up with the optional Pommes allumettes which was fine with us. The steak tartare was not seasoned as we are used to and had been mixed with a lot of Worchestershire sauce. The taste of that sauce was overwhelming and only afterwards we came to understand why, it was probably to disguise the bad quality of the meat. My husband and I both had a sensation of upset stomach while driving back home and we have felt really unwell. The second main dish was filet of fish ( catch of the day), with beurre blanc sauce and spinach. It was quite okay, the sauce a bit watery, the fish had some bones and the spinach was too salty. The chocolate fondant as dessert was nice, but could have been warm. The tables are only dressed with a table cloth once you are seated. The restaurant would look much more welcoming if all of the tables would be dressed, even without guests. It should not remain unmentioned that the restaurant is in the approach path of the airport. Planes fly frequently, low and are very loud. The lesson we learned yesterday is to never order raw food in a restaurant we are not familiar with, especially in one where there are only a handful of guests on a Saturday evening and subsequently the turnover of the food is slow. As a bar this place is nice, but it has nothing to do with...

2 stars because the lady who welcomed me was actually nice. I went with high expectations as it’s my first time visiting Lisbon. Ordered a steak and wanted it well done but it wasn’t at all it was all red. I specified multiple times I didn’t want to see pink or red. Still asked to pay around $60 when it was very clear I took all of one bite. The least they could do is offer a different steak because I did not like that cut at all or even a partial refund I would have been fine with. The fries were good but after finding out I still had to pay FULL price for a steak that was not done the way I asked I was very disappointed and left after eating a handful of the fries. This is my experience and I will not return nor recommend. Sucks because I actually always love French restaurants but unfortunately this experience was very...
