The Secret Garden Cafe - OCCOQUAN

Had the Monte Cristo sandwich which was good, but was not grilled enough on one side so it became soggy as I was eating the other half. The meats inside were good and not skimpy.

We just randomly picked this for brunch before we drive back home after a weekend in DC. I'm not exaggerating that is was the best part of the trip. I took pictures cuz it was so beautiful. We ate outside and we're surrounded by natural beauty. The food was excellent too. If anything, it was so rich, I couldn't eat it all. Coffee was great. If you end up in that area on a nice day, go get brunch outside. You won't regret it.

Great atmosphere in a little “hidden” area behind the main buildings. Food was great and did not have to wait long at all for it to be served. Definitely a good date spot on a nice day

What a hidden, little gem the Secret Garden Cafe is! We stumbled upon it as we were passing through the area. We ate outside in the quaint “garden” complete with flowers and a lovely water feature! I ate the braised beef over macaroni and cheese while my husband enjoyed the stir fried noodles with chicken. Both dishes were delicious! The wait staff were very friendly and attentive and we enjoyed a nice, peaceful lunch! We will definitely stop back when we are in the area again!

Food was all good. Good place to chill with family or friends. Ambiance is cosy.
