Secret Garden Restaurant in Canillas de Aceituno

"An amazing meal in this beautiful restaurant in the beautiful village of Canillas de Aceiltuno, set deep in the mountains. Well worth the trip. Wonderful Thai menu - the food was delicious, the service was amazing and the location was cosy, warm, inviting. Thoroughly recommended. And the secret garden at night was magical.... the owner was so friendly too."

"The surroundings are outstanding, friendly and hospitable service. Thia red curry and king prawn in coconut sauce is the best ever. Cocktail superb. Reasonably priced. Interesting menu, yet to try the secret rose."

"This isn't just a restaurant it's an experience. The owners show love & passion in everything they do, from the delicious menu options down to the luxury hand soaps in the bathroom. The waiter was friendly and attentive with the owner introducing himself to us with the most beautiful refreshing jasmine hand towels... The atmosphere was a lovely relaxed ambience perfect for a date night or special occasion. The garden itself is a tranquil haven. The owners thrive in expansion as they currently adapt their business to create indoor rooms for the winter months so you can still enjoy their hospitality all year round. The food was great in flavours & different menu choices to your average Spanish night out. The desserts stood out to us with the white chocolate rose being a favourite. My 5 year old son loved the cheesecake he said it was the best he has had in all his 5 years.. The owners are friendly happy people who deserve the recognition for creating such a beautiful restaurant. A must go place.. cañillas is a beautiful village full of rustic charm.. 5 STARS FROM ME..."

"Excellent menu and very well put together by the chef. Service was truly amazing and the food flavours were outstanding. Would definitely recommend."

"Secret Garden – 3rd Anniversary Night We went to Secret Garden this evening to celebrate our 3rd anniversary… and once again, it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, Seb and Eddy made us feel like absolute Andalusian royalty. It’s rare to find that balance of professionalism and genuine warmth — but they nail it every single time. The new menu? A real level up. Every dish was beautifully presented — edible flowers, bold flavours, perfectly balanced textures. You can see the thought, creativity and pride in every plate. From the bao buns to the curries and those unreal desserts… it’s not just food, it’s an experience. Attention to detail is on another level — the atmosphere, the plating, the service, even the little anniversary touches. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels ordinary. Three years celebrated in style. If you’re anywhere near here and haven’t been — you’re missing something special. Secret Garden continues to raise the bar. Absolutely superb."

"Dining at The Secret Garden is a wonderful experience. The restaurant and the stunning garden is an absolute delight. We ate inside this time and the place is already decorated for Halloween - the work that has gone into this is amazing! We received a lovely, warm welcome, and it’s great to see how much pride they take in the quality of the food and the customer experience. Currently focusing on Thai food, the four of us enjoyed delicious meals which were colourful and bursting with flavour! It’s a while since we ate three courses but we pushed the boat out and enjoyed everything immensely. My friend and I absolutely loved the bottle of beautiful, pale rose wine that we shared. After the meal, with thin blankets kindly provided for comfort, we retired to the magical garden to enjoy a nightcap surrounded by mood lighting and scented incense burners. This was our second visit to The Secret Garden and I am certain we will be back."

"Food: amazing. Service: amazing. Music: amazing. Atmosphere: amazing The owners and staff Andrea y Ana, they were so nice!! The Thai food was highly recommended, just a bit spicy. The garden was also beautiful with all the plants! We'll come back! One tip: I wouldn't put an aperitif unasked on the table that customers have to pay for afterward. We would 10000% recommended this place!"

"Visited this beautiful restaurant tonight with 12 of my family. The staff were amazing from the minute we stepped into the restaurant. The food was delicious. If you are in the area I would definitely recommend booking in. You will not be disappointed"
