Garden Bistro

Yangon


Popular for breakfast meetings with the embassy and business crowd (it does excellent dim sum until 2pm), the Garden Bistro is also a pleasant spot for a light meal or afternoon tea overlooking Kandawgyi Lake.

There's direct access to the lakeside boardwalk here without having to pay the K300 entry fee applicable at the eastern end of the lake.
