PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAMy Heart Garden has an air of wholesome wellbeing, with a general push away from consuming alcohol and more of a lean towards eating hearty, healthy vegetarian meals. The focus on outside dining makes it a great summer option for a nutritious meal accompanied with a refreshing juice or smoothie. My Heart Garden is often booked out for functions so it pays to call ahead to make sure space is available for a meal, but if not there is always the take-away option. The food on display in the cabinet is colourful and suits the breezy decor of the restaurant, but there are many more delicious items listed on the menu. There are many gluten-free and vegan dishes, making this restaurant a good choice for the health or ethically conscious diner.
Shining a spotlight on international vegetarian cuisine sees My Heart Garden delivering plates from all around the world, including Africa, Thailand and Sri Lanka, with exotic bean and salad dishes spattered throughout. There is also a tempting array of delectable cakes and cookies on offer. My Heart Garden is ideal for small functions, and the staff are happy to theme events with the help of the restaurant’s freelancing set-designer who can turn your occasion into a Middle Eastern affair.
