What User dislikes about Gaaitjie:
Edit: We returned two days later and were pleasantly surprised to find a completely different menu! I had the fantastic hake with salad, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was great, and the setting was perfect. A quick note from the restaurant management: for lunch, the kitchen takes its last orders at 14:00 and closes at 14:30. They then open later for dinner. From Thursday to Monday, the last seating is... View all feedback.

We were fortunate to secure a reservation at this wonderful restaurant. The sunset during our anniversary dinner was breathtaking, complemented by excellent service and delicious food. The prices were very reasonable as well. It was a truly fabulous evening, and I can't recommend this place highly enough!

The value for the price was excellent. They were flexible and prepared some dishes that weren't on the menu for us. The ambiance was nice, and the staff was very helpful. We will definitely return.

What a delightful experience! Everything was simply stunning from start to finish. The food, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail were all exceptional. I had the red tuna served with wasabi mash and a soy reduction, which was absolutely delicious and flavorful. The dish was light yet incredibly tasty and well-balanced. For dessert, I enjoyed the baked cheesecake, and it was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. The Chantilly cream with guava gel was outstanding as well. Other dishes on the table included masala prawns, which were highly praised, an amazing chocolate parfait, and a delightful coconut panna cotta. Everything was fantastic!

Where do I start? the chef deserves a Michelin star if he doesn't own yet. the Calamari-Starter had 20 different advantages that triggered every taste-bod! I never had anything like that! the type that helped me in the reservation made me so welcome over the phone and he never met me! and under the assumption that the same guy who greeted us today, I really felt comfortable and relaxed with him who leads us. the monkfish who never heard of it, but so help me that the cook brought it to the next level to offer a 5-star meal. I have to go back to all my other eating reviews and change the 5 stars to 4 stars because gaatjie restaurant has the definition and worth in what a 5-star menu really is. they have my highest recommendation! and the hope. this small restaurant could look retro, which complements its excellent atmosphere, but eating and comfort in service, is incomparable with a 5-star restaurant. this is my guessing a 5-star restaurant and my new favourite restaurant. today they took the nr1 spot in my books. his beamer.

Delicious dinner and amazing dining experience with phenomenal views. I did find the mussels and sauces a little too salty but otherwise was great and the seared tuna and prawns were lovely.

Gorgeous view of the ocean, food was delicious! Takes a while to get the food to the table so just be prepared for a little wait, but we were happy to do it because of the lovely atmosphere!
