‘The Secret Garden’ on Symi island named most beautiful restaurant in the world

·

Travel site, The Travel, has ranked The Secret Garden restaurant on the Greek island of Symi as the most beautiful in the world.

The Secret Garden is run by a Greek man called Michalis, who makes all the food, and his wife Katia, who is Dutch.

The restaurant also lives up to its name as diners are served their authentic Greek food under a canopy of lush, verdant plants in a rustic Greek setting.

“Travellers who follow the humble sign from Alithini Street will be rewarded with a beautifully decorated dining area and reasonably priced, authentic fare,” The Travel website writes in its review.

“Former patrons rave about The Secret Garden for its fabulous food, live music, and customer service!”

The Greek restaurant beat some of the world’s most luxurious, fancy spots for the coveted title of the most beautiful restaurant in the world.

Included on the list were the Koral Restaurant in Indonesia, where diners are surrounded by large aquariums filled with exotic fish, and The Grotto in Thailand, where tables are placed on the sand in a cave with a view of the ocean.
