Lovely restaurant for a special occasion very nearby the apartment, only a 10 minute walk. The setting is as the name suggests in an old gardener's cottage. They do a constantly changing seasonal set menu for lunch or dinner and your sat at communal long tables which makes for a great atmosphere even if not busy, we got speaking to an american couple when we went which is a nice change from the usual. Book ahead as its small.
