Fabulous flavours, amazing scents, unforgettable experience

I tasted Chef Michael's food when he was starting at The Horn of Plenty and I became kind of addicted to an an incredibly extravaganza of flavours and scents that really marked a difference with the London's culinary scene. I am definitely aware of his new project and I ready to be amazed, delighted and deeply satisfied again with his skills. Below are some reviews I posted on Google Maps:

Lovely place, the atmosphere was incredible, lively and friendly. The food was absolutely fantastic, amazing flavors and so much to discover that it definitely merits a second visit. We ended up full and happy. Best day out ever!!!
Comida latina pero con un twist diferente. Verdaderamente amerita otra visita. El Basque Cheese Cake esta a otro nivel. Las papas asadas están absolutamente fenomenales. Los tacos están exquisitos. Cuesta trabajo decidir cual plato es mejor.

El Jardin

Ate at the Horn of Plenty and was pleased to see ElJardin there serving honestly some of the best food I've had at a pub in recent years.

The tacos are incredible, but the pork belly and plantain were just as amazing.

Hat tip to Michel, and incredible chef with a clear passion for what he does.

The BEST Columbian / Latin American food you will have!…

The BEST Columbian / Latin American food you will have!

If you are after well thought out dishes that make your taste buds happy then you need to try some food made by El Jardin. Everything is so well thought out- the presentation, pairing of ingredients and the flavour combos. Colombian food done right! My faves are the beef tacos and the sweet plantain with cheese sauce. I also know from friends that the pork belly and hot dog are a HIT!

This is my favourite place to come for tacos

This is my favourite place to come for tacos, no other place compares!!
Every dish has a lot of thought into the flavours where coming back for even the same order still feels like I’m eating it for the first time. If you have not tried here yet then you are missing out.

The aubergine tacos and beef tacos are my faves 😌

Absolutely fantastic experience

Absolutely fantastic experience at El Jardín!
The food was bursting with flavour, every dish was clearly made with care and creativity. You can really tell the chef is passionate about what he does, adding his own unique spin that works perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. A real gem for Latin American cuisine, can’t wait to come back!
