    Very welcoming and excellent service, nice atmosphere and clean. Chevonne made the evening very plesant and also recommended the specials. Food was okay, Prawns however was overcooked and and cooked in a curry souse which was horrible. As a Prawn lover i know exaclly how it should taste and be cooked. Otherwise it was all great. 7/10

    Had their poke bowls and they were very good, it's the only place in town that has it. I've also had their fish and chips on a seperate occasion and it was also pretty good. The fish tank in the front is kind of cool.

    Can't give 5 stars to a chain restaurant, but it was pretty good. The waitress (caylenne??) Was excellent. The food was good, and desserts were divine. A good value meal overall.

    Had Portuguese steak served with chorizo, lemon herb and chips. Steak was cooked to perfection, tasty. Partner ordered fried hake served with lemon butter and chips. Both meals were delicious. Can recommend this restaurant.

    The food is absolutely stunning and more than enough per serving. The service is as excellent as the food. Make sure you come early enough to secure a spot.They seem to be very popular and the restaurant of choice in this area. We as a family had a good time

    We went out for dinner 4 adults and 2 kids, My son found a long black hair in his chicken strips attached to the crumbs quater way through his meal, we called the manager and his reaction was that none of his kitchen staff has got long hair it must be from the front shop, he asked if he can replace the food and my son said he does not want it anymore. The manager said he would take it away and remove it from the bill, paid the bill just over R1600, got home to check the bill, and the food was still on the bill. They will never see me again.

    Always fresh food and friendly staff! The playground is clean and safe, also covered and suitable for a rainy day. The best John Dorys we’ve visited in the country!

    Popped in for a bite on the way home from airport! Despite loadshedding, we had a lovely meal served by a delightful, knowledgeable & efficient waitress, all with a smile. We'll worth a visit!

  • 1/5 Hendrina Sophia R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Wasabi doesn't burn at all. I told the waitress and she just smiled at me. The rest of the sushi was covered in sweet black syrup. Not good.

    The Prawn special is well worth R99. The rice could have had a bit more taste to it but the prawns were excellent.

  • 5/5 Kathryn de W. 1 year ago on Google
    I would like to thank Monica our waitress, a lovely young lady dedicated to making our experience special, even though she knew our bill wouldn't be high. Monica's efficiency and care would make her an excellent trainer. Monica is an asset to John Dory's, Eden Meander George. Our meal was excellent too 👌

  • 4/5 Stacey-Lee P. 1 year ago on Google
    Our waiterress was awesome, thank you Keasha for the fantastic service. We went for the 1/2 price sushi. Sushi was average in flavour and quality. Next time we'll stick with the platter to share.

  • 5/5 Pierre T. 1 year ago on Google
    The best seafood franchise in George. So much better than the local Ocean Basket. They are always busy!

  • 5/5 Nan J. 1 year ago on Google
    A special shout out to PJ and the team at John Dorys Garden Route Mall. We didn’t book for dinner plus loadshedding on a Wednesday 1/2 price sushi evening. Greeted with a smile, expectations managed and only waited for 10 mins. The service was excellent and the food was delicious as always. See you soon.

  • 5/5 Etienne 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Wayne P. 10 months ago on Google
    My brother and I had a hearty breakfast consisting of bacon eggs two slices of toast and 2 sausages. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought you eat only fish dishes at John Dory's. A definite recommendation 👌

  • 4/5 Joan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Situated at Eaden Meander, it is a nice family restaurant with area for the kids to play. The kids play area is outside, but enclosed and also underroof. As this is a franchise, the menu is standard and you can check online for any specials being run. It is wheelchair friendly and also has it's own bathrooms within.

👍👍 I enjoyed my time and food at 34 Degrees South. If you sit outside, you get treated to awesome views too of what can be described like Venice. Towards the latter part of the day, you'll see a gorgeous South African sunset (if there are no clouds). I had some wine by the glass, one of the few places...
