Description: At The Garden Bistro, we create dishes using as much local, organic produce as possible, and do as much "from scratch" cooking as possible. Due to our mid-west growing season, this means that what a diner finds on our menu in May will be different from what they find in August or November. If there is no local produce available such as in the winter months, we of course substitute by purchasing the finest, freshest produce, meats, whatever purveyor items it takes, to keep our food high quality, unique and full of flavor. Our goal is a unique dining experience for every guest, every visit. 2010 Arkansas Times Reader's Choice Award Winner for Best New Restaurant in Eureka Springs. 2012 Arkansas Times Reader's Choice Award Winner for Best New Restaurant all around the state!We can host mid-sized parties of any sort, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, bus tours, and the like, lunch or dinner. We are one of the few downtown restaurants with free parking.

We went here for lunch the day after a tonado hit. The poor waitress's car was buried under a fallen tree, their canopy over the outdoor garden was completely torn and broken and they were out of several of the menu items, and yet they were open for business as usual. The waitress was so friendy and good. The food... More

We ate lunch here with three other couples and had a wonderful time. The owner sat us on the second floor balcony and we had it all to ourselves. She served us herself and made several suggestions as to what was on the menu and what was really good. We each had something different and we all agreed this was... More

A little on the pricey side but really really good! Everything was so fresh and so well put together. It's all locally grown produce and the staff are very nice. Definitely try it out!

Ate at the Garden Bistro Friday evening and was beyond pleased! I had read good reviews and was not disappointed. This is one of my new favorite places. The food is fresh, made from scratch and so good. I was just sad that I couldn't eat more. My husband and I split the Mandarin chicken dish with ricotta and basil.... More

Looking for a place in Eureka Springs for a Mother's Day Brunch, we ended up here almost by accident. We had planned on another place but our daughter talked us into this place. We were glad she did. It is not vegetarian or vegan but they do have a few of those dishes available. I am not either of those... More

We stumbled upon this bistro while walking, and we remembered to come back later for dinner. It has outdoor dining over moving water, and open air feeling inside when the patio doors are open. Very romantic and quaint - a real find! The homemade bread came out piping hot, the homemade salad dressings were divine, and the fresh greens and... More

The niche is using fresh produce from local farmers their meals. Dont expect any drinks with dinner here. We were told they lost their liquor license. Had the orange chicken. Asparagus was over cooked. Honey butter was frozen. Entree was so so. Wasnt for us. Maybe better for others.

If you are in Eureka Springs you must try this place. Our waitress Lauren was so friendly and attentive to all our needs. We ate out on the front porch to a cool breeze calming music and some of the best homemade and fresh food ever! You won't regret it! Gary and Kerri

Great food and great hospitality. First time I had ever had organically grown strawberries. I will definately spend the money to buy them when available.

I have never been disappointed with any thing I've ordered at this small restaurant. The chef has a great index of recipes. Most of her recipes use fresh garden ingredients. For lunch recently I had a half chicken salad and the tomato basil soup. Before our lunch was served, they brought out hot home made bread made in clay flower... More
