A lot of potential

I was staying at the Palm Garden Hotel, so I was extremely grateful that there was somewhere to eat nearby that was healthy, had vegan options, and an English menu. This place has the potential to be great because the food is healthy and tasty and the restaurant is strategically located (next to hotel, pool, and gym). The problem is that the labelling on the menu is ALL wrong. There’s vegan and vegetarian symbols but they don’t make sense. Items that have dairy in them are sometimes labelled vegan. Some items which are vegan or vegetarian aren’t labelled at all. There’s no vegan breakfast options. I asked staff if they could make me something special for breakfast but they said all they could do was salad. It was only a few days later did I realize I could sub mushrooms for eggs (I figured this out on my own) for select dishes or just order avocado toast. Staff have no idea what vegan means. All of their salads, according to the menu, come with a superfoods flatbread, but when I ordered the fattoush salad and asked where my flatbread was, they refused to give me one and insisted that the croutons in the salad were a flatbread (WRONG, because they’re listed as “croutons” under the dish ingredients). Their hours of operation according to their Facebook page and the sign on the door says 7am-10pm, but when I showed up at 7:50am one day, they got annoyed with me and said they opened at 8am. So confusing!! But in a city that has very limited options and is impossible to navigate without a car, I was so incredibly thankful that this was next to my hotel.

Pros: Healthy food, Several vegan options , Spacious restaurant

Cons: Menu is labelled incorrectly , Staff don’t know anything about menu , Hours are different than what’s on the door
