El Jardin - Níjar

We had a lovely meal here, the best of our holiday As a diabetic I try to eat fairly low carb and eating in San Jose has been difficult as there are a lot of Pizza and Pasta restaurants or meat with chips which I struggle with Food here was lovely,tasty and a good variety and not too bad for a diabetic Friendly hosts would highly recommend

Thought this place would be after the amazing reviews and although the food was nice my falafels were sry and overcooked. Perhaps we went on an off night but ut the waiter was not very happy attentive and after our main dish, we weren’t offered dessert or coffee and had to go in to the main restaurant to get the bill had he offered coffee, we would have had it but just decided to leave as had sat waiting for a long time with no response.

I went to this restaurant with my boyfriend with high hopes since we are vegan and vegetarian. I was impressed by the many choices in the menu and chose rice “spaghetti” with mushroom, tofu and Tamari sauce. I was so disappointed when I got my food and realised it was only noodles with soy sauce, no other taste at all and awfully salty! My boyfriend on the other hand was happy with his meal, integral rice with Greek cheese, cranberries and seeds. The waitor was nice and was very open to explain the vegan options and also adapt the non-vegan dishes to become vegan, with changing ingredients etc. So maybe I was just unlucky, but I would never have paid 11 euros for some noodles with soy sauce.

Muy buena comida, muy buen ambiente y servicio. Vale la pena repetirlo. El carpaccio es calabaza y la excelente pizza de mar!

After 2 days staying in other side of San Jose which doesn’t have that much restaurante , I finally arrived to port which is full of different restaurants, by walking among e of them menu of el jardin attracted me , I found it very nice and high quality and the owner was talking flounce English and they have menu in English as well . I think it could be difficult in Spain works as organize and healthy food with all those tapases and souses but I hope this kind of local foods every day become more popular.
