Tucked away in the historic Junius Heights neighborhood of Dallas, Garden Cafe has been a local institution since 2002.

Judging by its façade alone, the restaurant doesn't look like anything special - but the patio tells a whole different story.

A vine-wrapped trellis leads through the cafe's very own backyard garden, brimming with herbs and vegetables used in many of the dishes.

On nice days, the partially-covered outdoor seating area is perfect for enjoying a meal among friends.

Surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of nature, you'll be transported to a place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

There is also an indoor dining room complete with a full bar!

As for the menu, it features a little bit of everything, with freshness and quality being the overarching themes.

For dinner, enjoy a hearty steak and glass of vino, or something lighter such as a salad or fresh fish.

Brunch is served every day from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The selections rotate, but you'll typically see things like omelets, eggs benedict, breakfast sandwiches, and pancakes or waffles.

If you have dietary restrictions, you'll be in heaven here. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available!

Visit the restaurant’s website or Facebook page for more information, such as hours and a full menu.
