When you name your establishment, Garden of Eden, you are in danger of conjuring images of paradise in your customer’s head. Luckily, this restaurant is exactly that, paradise. Inside the Daniel apartment store on the first level, just tucked behind children’s wear, is Garden of Eden. The menu contains a delightful array of options that would keep my wife and I happy if we visited every day of the year. Looking around the usual customers are mums meeting for lunch or families that have just discovered this gem. There is a sizable play area for babies with foam tiles covering the floor and and plethora of soft toys to cuddle. For lunch I opted for the Southern Fried ‘Not Chicken’ wings wrap and my wife had the Tandoori Not Chicken Tikka. Our son had a bit form each of these. On the table they were advertising espresso milkshakes, so we also had a couple of these, all for £36. If the restaurant was on the ground floor, I believe people would be lining up for these milkshakes to takeaway. So impressive looking and punchy with flavour. When the food arrived, it was well presented and good portion sizes. They seem to be underselling the food on the menu. My wrap said it came with one onion ring yet it contained an onion ring and had another 3 on the side. I also had an additional rosti. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the lentil salad, chickpeas, greens, etc. All of which were not mentioned on the menu. We both enjoyed the welcome change of waffle fries. What made Garden of Eden extra special was the appearance of the chef. Previously the chef in Princess Anne’s brigade, he spoke passionately above his love for food and wanting to make people happy through it, which he is definitely doing looking at all the satisfied customers. He then explained that he has been working on and trialling a peanut and chocolate ‘brownie’ (apologies if I remembered this name incorrectly) and would we like to try it. Of course we wanted to, especially if it was at the same standard as the food we had already eaten. It was beautiful. The salt level was balanced, it was moist and devilishly rich. My wife remarked that if Garden of Eden was in East Sussex, we would be regulars. We implore...

My partner ate a panini and thought it was OK and he enjoyed the chocolate cake on two different occasions. I, however, am very limited because I eat very little carbs, and it was not really possible for me to find something I’d eat. There are pizzas, burgers (with buns, of course), paninis, wraps, and what they call salads are mixtures of stuff, but there isn’t even one plain vegetable salad. There aren’t any actual vegetable dishes (other than potatoes). I felt like: go across to M&S and buy a salad. The Rainbow Salad has, for example, “couscous chargrilled vegetables”, but when I saw the ingredients (they have a notebook with the ingredients so people can check for allergens) there is some small percentage of aubergine, for example, but really not what I’d call “chargrilled vegetables”. That, to me, means actual strips of charred aubergine and courgette, or something like it. Some people who are vegetarian (or vegan) actually eat veggies! But this was mostly all sorts of fake meat, fake cheese in various forms (“not-chicken”, sheese, etc) and I came away with the impression that they don’t really prepare anything but use all sorts of commercial plant-based products that are around these days. The only reason there are three stars is because my partner enjoyed the chocolate cake and I enjoyed my pot of green tea - they use what I consider the best brand of tea (Clipper) and put two tea bags in the pot, which is a quality pot of tea, and served in a nice pot with a nice cup. For a department store cafe, the atmosphere is fine. The service was good. I could add that in some places they would offer to put together some kind of plate for me with tomatoes, cucumbers (which they have on their “Rainbow Salad” - a photo of it is in one of the recent reviews) some avocado or other actual vegetables that might be included in a dish that I...
