    First time, recommendation from my daughter. What a pleasant surprise. We sat outside under some shade and were treated to a fantastic view. We ordered the chicken, with three cheese's and fig as well as a pasta dish with chicken and mushroom. Both dishes were excellent, the portions very very generous and the cost was very good for what we received. They also have a wine section with quite a varied selection. Highly recommended.

    A very popular place that's a bit hidden away from the normal tourists area. Next to SuperSpar. On arrival we were on a waiting list already so we browse around looking at all the coffees and items on sale. Friendly staff assist us at our table. The hot drinks are well presented with the special creams on top. Portions of the food are huge. Most people will struggle to finish their omelette. All 5 of us were quite satisfied with our orders. Promotion on at the moment, buy a 1kg bag coffee beans and get a standard coffee free.

    We love Stars Restaurant! Their coffee and ciabbatta are amazing and we love their food! It is very good value for money and everything is always extremely clean and neat! Always treated like family when we go there!

    I used to love visiting stars and was a regular there for many years. I was so disappointed today because they don't allow you to use a laptop to do work in the restaurant. I came in, was about to order and was given the WiFi password and then promptly told I was not allowed to use a laptop in the restaurant. (?) Sorry but I just walked out. I used to love sitting by stars and ordering food and drinks while I worked but apparently I have to now go elsewhere.

    I've always enjoyed eating here until today, hoping it was just our selection. Coffee was superb, service great, view breathtaking but our meals were disappointing. I ordered the Butternut &halloumi salad and the brinjal bake. Salad ingredients were wonderful but the warm wet iceberg lettuce on which it lay on really let this dish down. The brinjal bake was odd, mostly mozzarella cheese but there were slices of uncooked tomato and the brinjal was coated but soggy so why coat it? Idk. Didnt have more than 2 bites. The vegan pizza cost total R180 (gluten free base R25 but avo, green pepper and mushrooms was an additional R65) just not worth the money. I would return but will stick with safer bets like breakfast or burger.

    A family Restaurant with a menu that offers mouthwatering meals at affordable prices. And if you book beforehand you can have a table with sea view. Winelist at cellar prices. The pizza was the best I had in months. More than enough topping with plenty asparagus and olives. Ended the meal with a waffle and ice cream. A memorable evening

  • 5/5 Desiree B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love this restaurant! They never disappoint. Great food and very reasonably priced. All their coffees and hot chocolates are to die for. A must visit!!!

  • 5/5 Coenraad M. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome experience. Kind of a hidden gem that seems to be occupied by locals. (Not a bad sign) Coffee is the best priced, and best tasting, locally. Great breakfasts and view. No laptops though (what??!)

  • 5/5 Chris_ohss O. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love stars, not just the food but also the amazing wine selection, and at such great prices.. a definite must visit with great staff and manager. Tried a Canadian Pizza and it was awesome..The wine we tried varied but we eventually settled on a 2014 Shiraz from Stellenview....

  • 5/5 Zarine V. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely coffee (or something else you prefer) next to a beautiful ocean view, a nice place to relax but a quick warning their portions are larger than you imagine!

  • 5/5 Faith T. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely ribs, my partner in crime had the burger which was most enjoyable. Wandered of to the wine section and was assisted by a very welcoming young gentleman and ended up purchasing 6 bottles of wine! Definitely worth a visit and will be back soon!

  • 5/5 Eloise G. 3 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and lovely vegan options at affordable prices!! We shared the crumbed mushrooms as a starter and then I had the falafel platter and hubby the crazy burger. Super delicious and generous portion size!! We loved the background music and atmosphere while enjoying the beautiful view!! Highly recommend Stars Restaurant!!

  • 5/5 Charl Van N. 1 year ago on Google
    It is all stars for Stars....warm atmosphere, excellent food(how do they do it as priced?),my favorite pozzie, whilst taking in the breath taking views of the bay and mountains- do not pass this place without getting a sip of their excellent coffee and eats. A must be on your time in Mosselbay.

  • 4/5 Jaun 1 year ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the food. The flavour of the food was absolutely amazing and you can't stop eating. Service was excellent.

  • 2/5 Kerry B. 1 year ago on Google
    Waitress was helpful but the chai tea with vegan milk was not good, way too sweet and not the right flavour. Crumbed mushrooms were good but the chips weren’t great, and the pizzas were soggy and disappointing. View is nice but not worth the money.

  • 4/5 Adriaan G. 10 months ago on Google
    Perfect view over the bay, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Enjoyed the wide selection of food and drinks on the menu at affordable prices.

  • 5/5 Robyn S. 11 months ago on Google
    The most brilliant place to visit. Gluten free pizza available, wheelchair accessible, secure parking with car guards and security. Vegan foods available and a smoking area.

  • 5/5 Monique Danelle B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful interior, quick service and great value for money. Food is delicious and well priced. Update: still such a great place to pop in for a quick cup of coffee

  • 2/5 Natalie B. 10 months ago on Google
    This place has one of the best views of the ocean within Mossel Bay A big let down is below average service and average food with a hefty price tag. If you want a great view, then I would go bit of its is a good experience you are after, it would not be in my top 5

  • 1/5 Leon van S. 10 months ago on Google
    My wife received rude attitude from the waiter because she wanted to catch up on work stuff. Was told can’t work on laptop and if she wanted to work she must leave the premises, so she left a got better service at a different place that cares about their clients.

  • 4/5 JeanLouis 6 months ago on Google
    Still one of my favourite coffee shops in SA!! Good coffee, Good food and great specials. It has been 5 years since i discovered your shop and the consistency has been something of note!!

  • 3/5 Priscilla F. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is good but their service can be a bit slow. The coffee is rich and warm, worth a try.

  • 3/5 Andre van der M. 6 months ago on Google
    I absolutely love the coffee and the food is really good quality, but today I was totally shocked when I wanted to work for 45minutes on my laptop and I was told they have a "laptop-free" policy... This was the closest place to my business and I wanted to do a quick coffee and answer a couple of e-mails so I was really taken aback with this policy. I understand that restaurants do not want people occupying their space for a whole day as if it is their own office, but this a bit abrubt. Not the best experience I've ever had and a bit humiliating. Not going back there for a long time...

  • 2/5 Valda T. 7 months ago on Google
    What a huge disappointment 😞 Staff not friendly or welcoming, waited ages to order drinks firstly, then it took forever to arrive. Menu not very appealing.. but waited again to order food. Again disappointed with meal. Almost left without paying because our waitress was nowhere to be found. Eventually got out there but will not be going back soon even though it has a beautiful view.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Stars that has truly pulled up its socks and transformed itself into an outstanding dining establishment. This hidden gem, which I used to approach with trepidation, has now become a shining example of fast and friendly service paired with delectable food and a breathtaking view that leaves a lasting impression. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and a level of hospitality that was genuinely refreshing. It's clear that the restaurant has invested in staff training, and it shows. The waitstaff were not only attentive but also knowledgeable about the menu, ready to provide recommendations and answer any questions with enthusiasm. But of course, great service is only part of the equation, and the food at this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The menu features a diverse array of options to satisfy any palate. Whether you're a fan of classic comfort foods or seeking something more adventurous, there's something for everyone. One of the most impressive aspects of this restaurant's transformation is the speed at which the food is prepared and served. Despite being busy, I didn't have to wait long for my meal to arrive, and it was piping hot. It's clear that the kitchen staff has honed their efficiency without compromising on quality. The restaurant has also made significant improvements in terms of ambiance. The atmosphere is now cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a casual get-together with friends and family. In summary, this restaurant has undergone a remarkable transformation. It's now a place where you can expect fast, friendly, and attentive service, coupled with exceptional food that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're a regular patron or a first-time visitor, I highly recommend giving this establishment a try. It has truly pulled up its socks and emerged as a standout dining destination that deserves the highest praise.

    The general inside seating is great and there is a trendy comfy vibe. The staff were friendly and the prices good. If this was in Cape Town I would give 3 stars but for mosselbaai this gets the nod

    Service very bad- we had to wait a long time to order drinks and then I had to ask 4 times for the bottle of still water that I’ve ordered. Could be a nice restaurant if they sharpen up the service.

    We had the Oxtail today and it was an absolute disaster. It was like eating rubber!!! Couldn’t chew ot!!!! Mist have been cooked in microwave. What a disappointment!!! Maybe the management should just check it out. Bad experience and not cheap!!

    I have always enjoyed my visit to Stars restaurant. At the moment they are still busy with renovations. If you just want to have something light to eat and have a pleasant time with a good glass of wine, then this is the place for you.
