Garden Café

Don’t be fooled by the name cause once you get inside the place actually is more American Cowboy themed rather than being a garden theme. The food had huge servings. We ordered nachos, onion rings, carbonara, and spare ribs. All of them had huge servings making your money’s worth fine but with regards to flavor (except for nachos), more could be improved. The onion rings were a lot and they’re huge. However, many of them were burnt and only the breading was making them big. The breading is bland too. The carbonara is huge and I like how it isn’t dry but IT IS VERY BLAND. I suggest askin for salt and pepper huhuhu For the spare ribs, they were okay but the flavor was coming from the bbq sauce used rather than from the meat of the ribs itself. Moreover, their side veggies were undercooked. I also believed that the nachos could have more toppings and cheese. But I also think they may have resorted to this amount only to ensure that their nachos don’t get soggy so I believe this portion will depend on your preference. For the food that we ordered, I believe they could make it better to ensure that you REALLY get your money’s worth due to the TASTE and not only by its portion. The staff were excellent and the place was okay. I also love how they teach you how to sign language for the different orders you make as they have deaf staff working.

Food is absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous! We got the onion rings as an appetizer and it was huge! We, also got the fried shrimp, BBQ ribs, and the curry chicken and they were all delicious. The rib portion was a little small, but everything else was plenty of food. We only ate part of it and took the rest home. We had the mango pie and the blueberry cheesecake for dessert. The blueberry cheesecake was so delicious that I bought all they had left and took it home! Staff was very friendly. This is a different restaurant because they hire handicapped people to work there. Our waitress was deaf so we wrote our order on a slip of paper to order our food. The restaurant is themed as an American western restaurant and is very cool to look at. Very nice overall experience. We will come back again for sure!

Finally found the time to try Garden Cafe. After dropping by the Cathedral, we decided to eat here for dinner. I was surprised to know that the overall theme of this restaurant is actually western. You can see it and feel it in their decorations, frames and souvenirs plastered all around their walls. We ordered soup, chopsuey, crispy pata, chili dynamite, quesadilla and beef with oyster sauce. The waiting time was a bit long considering there were just few customers that time. Sadly, the quality of the food didn't match my expectations. The crispy pata was a bit hard and chewy. The meat was also dry. The chopsuey veggies were a bit wilt and tasted not as fresh as those from Chinese restaurants. The beef at least was of good quality and tender. The serving was generous too. I might come back here for drinks and their dynamite, not for their mains.

We were just passing by and decided to give this place a try, pleasantly surprised to discover this place. The food was great and the experience was unique. There are plenty of options on the menu, prices are fair, and the staff are very welcoming. They also employ deaf staff, which was a plus for us. The only downside was that the card terminal wasn’t working due to poor signal. We noticed the “Visa accepted” sign when we walked in, and since I don’t usually carry large bills, that caught us off guard. I’d recommend stopping by an ATM before coming, just in case.

Nice place, quiet with a great variety of local and international foods. I was in the morning for my morning coffee, I didn't try the food. The big problem is the internet. The mobile phone network does not work inside and that of the restaurant is very slow (I attach speed test), so, if you are a digital nomad, or work remotely it is not a place for you. Great, helpful and friendly staff.

Quiet place with a western style theme. Booths are the seating arrangement. Food was well presented and the beef with oyster sauce would have been excellent if served hot sizzling on a cast iron skillet! Overall the food was good.

I really enjoyed my time at Garden Café — it’s such a warm and welcoming place, with a cozy vibe and fun, unique décor that makes it feel special. The food is hearty and comforting, and I loved supporting a café that employs and empowers deaf and hearing‑challenged staff. Service was friendly and thoughtful, and even if some dishes weren’t perfect, the overall experience left me with a smile. It’s a place I’d happily come back to for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

A slice of Americana in the Philippines. This place is both a good restaurant and a mini museum of cowboy artifacts. In addition to that, they train and employ hearing challenged young adults. I had the American burger and a side of fries, delicious! Others in my group had fish sandwich and spaghetti with garlic bread. All enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Will be returning soon...
