IL Giardino

Set inside the Garden Route Botanical Garden in George, IL Giardino is an Italian restaurant at 49 Caledon Street. Surrounded by indigenous planting and birdlife with views toward the Outeniqua mountains, it serves wood-fired pizzas and other Italian dishes, with alfresco tables making the most of the garden setting. The location gives it a quieter, nature-immersed feel compared with George's town-centre restaurants, suited to relaxed lunches and family visits.
