Garlic Pub – an old restaurant with fresh ideas — Impressions & Details

If you ask what they serve, they’ll tell you it’s a seafood restaurant… but you’ll find a bit of everything on the plate 😄

I had the pleasure of being among the first to try their new oven-baked lamb with a lid – it looks spectacular, sounds spectacular… but the taste? It’s just lamb. Correct, but nothing special.

The atmosphere is friendly, the place is always full, and you’d better book a table if you want a seat.
It’s not a fancy spot, it’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re eating among friends.
I definitely recommend their appetizers – that’s where they really shine!

But what I liked the most was the menu – it looks great and it’s the first thing you notice when you sit down.
It instantly makes you want to order everything 😋

When it comes to coffee, though, they’ve still got work to do.
I asked for Turkish coffee and thought they brought me a cappuccino. ☕😅

And to complete the experience, I checked their online presence – turns out they couldn’t care less about social media.
The website doesn’t work, and their Facebook page hasn’t been updated since 2021. 💤

👨‍🍳 Chef’s Eye
First thought: “Ah well, it’ll do!”
An unpolished menu and weak presentation.
For me, nothing spectacular – just old school.
A poor choice of serving plates, which I find crucial – 50% of a dish’s success is in how you present it.
