Glenelg Pier Hotel - Cafe Pantai

Had such a wonderful experience at Cafe Pantai. We sat at a table over looking the ocean and had excellent service. The staff were pleasant and easy to chat to. The meal was absolutely delicious. PS best Laksa I've had in Adelaide.

We were a family of parents, grand parents, children and grandchildren celebrating 2 birthdays for dinner expecting a nice night. I read the reviews and some had high praise on food quality,  some the opposite, but we decided to ignore the negative and go for the positive and that was a big mistake. The night did not turn out to be a nice night. All of the dishes were overcooked.

Terrible service. Waited at least 20 minutes to get our table then an hour to get our food. When we were finally greeted we were rushed off to a table without guidance. Meals were average, definitely not worth the wait. Thought it would be a nice night out for a meal however was out till 9pm waiting for our dinner. Wouldn't return.

Beautiful taste and great location in Glenelg. Reasonable price. We ordered 2 mains and an entree for sharing. Delicious prawns with generous coconut sauce and spicy! Tasty green curry chicken. The thai fish cakes is good but not extraordinary. Happy tummy :)

Pantai is in a nice setting with great views. The food is ok, not great, not bad, I have no complaints just something was missing. Fair price and good size servings. Been there 4 times over 4 years. Try the Nasi Goreng , thats one of the best I have anywhere in SA. See pic
