    New location old staff. I would give 5 stars because I could see the effort they give to satisfy the guest. And i can imagine that they are capable of doing an amazing job. For my part I can only rate this one night we were there. Very busy night, as always from what we were told (better make a reservation with a pick up service), but that alone should not be an excuse. You can tell by the easy things like cross french fries or chips they call it here. If you get only soggy ones it’s just sad because it’s so easy. To put it in a nutshell, good and plenty of food for a fair price.

    Everything about The Girls restaurant is “stunning”.... From the outside seating area with all the beautiful fairy lights, greenery and nicely laid tables to the inside seating area that is cozy, decorated in a classy African theme was just gorgeous! Every single thing that came out of the kitchen was plated beautifully, you can see the kitchen staff and chefs know their stuff!! All the food that was served to us was great and full of flavor. This was our last night in Wilderness and was spent with family, good wine and great food! Thank you for adding sushi to your menu! The drinks are a little over priced but other than that the food prices for the portions sizes are fair. All round a lovely place!

    We visited this morning for a breakfast/brunch. We enjoyed it very much. Wonderful, friendly staff and the food was lovely. It is a pet friendly restaurant and took our doggy with us. A lot of tables and benches in the garden area where you can take your dog. They immediately spoilt her with a bowl of fresh water. There is a menu for your dog too. Will definitely go there again.

    My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting this place, and we were absolutely amazed! We couldn't have been more impressed. The food was not only fresh but incredibly delicious. The ambiance created a wonderful atmosphere, and the service was exceptional. We're eager to return for another visit. Surprisingly, this gem is conveniently close to our home in Wilderness, Haus Stram, making it a trip we'll happily make again. Don't miss the opportunity to try their delightful cocktails, particularly the Mermaids Orgasm and Martini. They're also renowned for their seafood platter and sushi, which is a must-try! 🍸🍣

    The beef tartare was not mixed together everything was separated but the taste was good. The portion of the burger was so big as you can’t eat it normally and the taste was good .

    We had sunday lunch, it was awesome, the waiters are friendly. Food is world class and very inexpensive. Please try the cheese cake, its a frozen cheese cake almost like a cheese cake gellato. Management is excellent they make you feel at home and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

    What an amazing experience! It is preferable to have a booking but we didnt. The doorman welcomed us and arranged a table. The waiter went out of his way to make date night exceptional and memorable. The food was unique, tasty and fresh. Thank you The Girls team!

    I dined at Girls Restaurant Wilderness with my family, and it was a delightful experience. The ambience added to the charm, creating a perfect setting for a family dinner. Although the place was a bit crowded, the wait was worth it. The service was slightly delayed, but the overall atmosphere made it a pleasant evening. The food was exceptional! The cocktails, in particular, stood out and were the best I've had in a long time. A true culinary delight. What made this experience even more special was the fact that the restaurant is pet-friendly. They have a dedicated menu for pets, making it a unique and inclusive place. It was heartwarming to see families enjoying their meals with their furry friends. The staff was friendly, and despite the slight delay, the service was commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Girls Restaurant Wilderness to others seeking a great meal.

    We came for the half price sushi. Was very good! Hugo served us and he is really friendly and has the best recommendations, we came back twice on Sunday with different friends and we were lucky to have him as our waiter again! He recommended the cheesecake and it was the best ever!

    Wow! Loved this place. My friend and I were both very impressed. The food was fresh and super tasty. The atmosphere is great and the service top notch. I would love to go there again. It is a bit of a drive from my home, but one I will gladly do.

    Absolutely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited! Wow! The customer service was out of this world! Every worker in the restaurant from upon entry was so friendly, making jokes & immediately made us feel welcome and happy with their jokes and service. Food extraordinary & well portioned. Cocktails was delicious! Highly recommend! Well done management & staff! My partner is a chef & he was so impressed himself too! Can’t wait to come back :) <3

  • 4/5 Vida Li S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was okay—we tried the linefish and calamari trio, and mango chicken curry. Service was okay, professional but not overly friendly or helpful. A bit pricey.

  • 5/5 Regina F. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a favorite restaurant in Wilderness. They seem to be a favorite restaurant of many near and far, as on the weekends, it is well attended. The food is delicious, good quality and nicely presented. The prices are also reasonable.

  • 3/5 Kevin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed food from breakfast menu, the koffie was excellent, the boerewors on the farmstyle breakfast was not good even a little sour, the croissant at R55. 00 was exorbitant as it was small and very simple

  • 5/5 Lynette N. 8 months ago on Google
    Cozy dinner on a very cold evening. Particularly enjoyed the mango prawn curry!

  • 5/5 Natalie Van S. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New

    We arrived late afternoon to Wilderness and immediately looked up the best restaurants in the area. The Girls in the Square has a great website with their menu so you have a look at what they have to offer. We went with our two kids and had a delicious meal together. What a fabulous menu, atmosphere and food... We'll definitely go back again!

    What A treat: Starting of with a Red wine La Capra 2017 Pinotage .Always good when your waiter knows his wine,perfect blend with the Beef Carpaccio and Prawn&Calamari starters,heading off into the Ladies Ostrich fillet and Gurnet ,ending off with a brilliant Amarula creme brule. A Gem of a " fine dine "restaurant" ,good quality food at a affordable price. Well done.

    A real little gem of a restaurant, incredible menu making use of seasonal fruit and veggies. Highly recommended!

  • 1/5 Jack P. 3 years ago on Google
    So here is the order of events as they happened: - I (a vegan) ordered a veg sushi platter which said it contained 4 veg hand rolls and made no mention at all of containing mayo. I also double checked as to whether it really DOES have 4 veg hand rolls. - we went home with the order (it was a take away). - I noticed that it contained mayo and had only one veg hand roll. - I phone one of the owners and was told with great certainty that the menu explicitly states that mayo is on the food I ordered, but the fact that I didn't get my three hand rolls came as a shock. - I arrived and greeted as "the sushi dude" and was told to go speak to the chef. - I gave the menu a second look and found, contrary to what the owner told me, that there is no mention of mayo on the menu. - I told the owner this, and was told (she was in a great hurry as the restaurant was very busy, call that a valid excuse for rude treatment if you are so inclined) and was told, aggressively and adressed as "dude" that she "ASSUMED THAT, okay? I'm trying to help you, look I'm very busy. If you have a problem take it up with the chefs, they just rent the space from me and we serve their food, okay?" And later said. "Criticise me all you like. I'll say I tried to help you". - I was given only one extra hand roll and was told, by the sushi chef, to take it or have my money back, but he is not giving me four. It was a typo on the menu. Interpret that as you deem fit before coming to this restaurant. We've eaten at three times. We won't do so again. My waitress, with the red hair, was kind and professional in every way and ought to advise her boss on how to treat clients. I wish I could give less stars, that rude and disrespectful woman does not warrant her restaurant's popularity.

    (Translated by Google) Discriminate against Afrikaans. Food is scarce at a farm's price. Does not serve well-known wines .. 1Dame never came back when we Afrikaners speak. We will not use their services again. (Original) Diskremeneer teen Afrikaans. Kos is min teen 'n plaas se prys. Bedien nie bekende wyn soorte nie.. 1Dame het nooit terug gekom toe ons Afrikaners praat nie. Ons sal nie weer van hulle dienste gebruik maak nie.

👍👍 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...
