Port Elizabeth Restaurants

Our first impressions of this restaurant was extremely negative. The waitress informed us that we could not order anything from the menu, but only a set menu, which she brought to our table, scribbled on a 5cmx5cm piece of paper. She was also unaware about the wine list.
We decided to leave. On our way out, we were met by the chef and we explained our dissatisfaction. He assured us that we will get good food (anything from the menu) and good service.
Well, it did get much better, and the food was actually quite good.
It is definitely one of the better restaurants in PE, if not one of the best.
However, if one pay quite a bit of money at an expensive restaurant, the unprofessional behaviour of the waitress is not acceptable at all.

Favorite Dish: Prawn Bisque

One of the better restaurants in Port Elizabeth. It is not a new establishment, you will still find their old location in Central - the sign has not been removed.
The menu is good and you will most probably find something you would like to try.
It is advisable too book, as it is very popular.
Wine list is average.

For all the times I have visited Port Elizabeth, I have made a stop at Squires to have a meal there.
Squires is a small chain of Grill Restaurants that serve top quality meat dishes ranging from Beef to Ostrich, in a very nice atmosphere.
The service was very very good, and the food was just simply incredible.
Do yourself a favour and go... hmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Favorite Dish: I have been to both the Sun City and the Port Elizabeth restaurants and every time I have had the Biltong Steak.
Its steak covered in a guacamole and pieces of biltong accompanied with a sour cream, served baked potato, rice or fries.

If that does not take your fancy, look at their gourmet steak section, for a mouth watering selection.

Intriguing romantic venue with stained glass windows and gothic lights.
Fresh feel.,fine linen and silver adored by yuppies.

Favorite Dish: Boutique style cuisine with new and classic dishes to die for.
Specialities include fresh seafood,steaks and Asian and Mediterranean dishes.

The restaurant also has very well pre selected wines of choice quality.

Intimate candlelight dining and soft background music.
Cosy venue, with seperate cocktail bar and lounge.
For romantic dinners for loving couples or as a whole family outing a great treat for all to enjoy.

Favorite Dish: Continental with South African flavour.
Pepper steak, calamari and duck are speciality dishes.

The desserts are awesome.

Mauro's is right on the beach - I strongly advise getting there early to watch the sunset and enjoy a few cocktails in a retro modern decorated funky ambiance. Food is mediterranean and my experience of the service was great. A bit pricy but well worth every cent!
