From Roots to Roses

The Journey Behind
Le Secret Garden

Once upon a time, in the heart of two Albanian families who had quietly crossed borders in search of a better life, two babies were born, one boy and one girl, destined never to meet until the right time. Their families settled in Greece, each building a life from the ground up, carrying traditions in their hearts and hopes in their hands.

They grew up just a few towns apart, never knowing their paths would one day entwine like vines in a quiet garden.

Years passed. Life, as it does, unfolded gently and unexpectedly. They both found themselves working near one another in the hospitality world, he in the kitchen, she in the front of house, without realizing that destiny had placed them just a few steps apart. It started with casual glances, shared coffees, and the subtle rhythm of two people unknowingly in sync.

But love doesn’t always bloom in the same soil. The boy made the bold move to the UK to chase bigger dreams. She stayed behind to finish her hospitality studies, but something stronger than distance pulled her forward. When she graduated, she packed her dreams and followed him.

In the UK, they were no longer two people chasing parallel paths. They were a team. Working side by side, their energy clicked, her grace, his fire, and their shared passion for people and food. Long hours turned into something magical, something meaningful.

Eventually, a question quietly grew between them: What if we built something that was truly ours?

So, they did.

La Secret Garden was born not from one idea, but from many quiet moments, years of hard work, and a love story rooted in two cultures and nurtured across three countries. It’s a place that celebrates intimate spaces, slow conversations, and the joy of feeling at home, even far from where you began.

Every dish has a memory. Every corner holds a whisper of their journey.

Welcome to their dream.
