Café Giardino

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Bluewater, the kids always ask to come here!
The food is out on show (in glass cabinets) so you get a good idea of the meals before you choose. The portions are a good size, though a little bit pricey, the drinks are also quite expensive. definatly the place to stop if you fancy a quick meal with an italian flavour!

My boyfriend took me for some lunch in Café Giardino recently. WHen walking in you staright away see the food counter with a great choice of fillings in your sandwich.
Everything is made fresh in front of you, and because everything looks yummy, its hard to pick what you want. My boyfriend asked if he could have his panini cut in half and have two different fillings, and they let him.
The food wasn’t cheap, it was quite expensive, also the drinks were expenisve too. If your sandwich wasn’t enough, then they also have a few lovely cakes on display.
Staff always seem cheerful and the restaurant is kept nice and clean.

I had a poor experience here & fear there was something wrong with the smoked salmon on my salmon & cream cheese bagel. The food was very expensive for what it was and the food that was on display did not look extremely appetising. There are may outlets of these stores dotted around Lakeside & Bluewater. In my opinion, they are all overpriced for what they are. The staff cant really assist with any issues as on most occassions, they couldn’t understand what I was saying

We were lured inside by the lovely looking trays of fresh ingredients at the end of the counter, and decided to have jacket potatoes. The staff were friendly and accommodating when my friend wanted something out of the ordinary. The cost was pretty reasonable, although we were charged a premium of an extra £2 for the less usual topping of cream cheese and salmon on one of the potatoes, which did hike the price up. The food was pretty tasty, arrived very quickly and I’d definitely go back there
