    What a surprise. A quick visit to the sleepy hollow of Gansbaai and having to dodge load shedding, brought us to the Goose. I really liked the menu, which oozed quality, because it's limited. A really good wine list too. The food did not disappoint and neither did the wine. The service was absolutely amazing. This is a world class establishment with a great vibe. Well done!

    Blue Goose was very good. A bit pricier than other places in Gansbaai, but that’s not a bad thing. It was by far the best food we’ve had here, and look forward to coming back often. The springbok carpaccio and beef espetata were the shining dishes of the evening, though the fillet was also lekker. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. The wine selection is extensive and quite nice. Be sure to make a reservation as they can regularly fill up.

    Best restaurant in Gansbaai!! It has the most elegant and beautiful decor and the garden is like a little Oasis and at night time the lighting makes for a romantic setting . The food was delicious but service lacked a bit because they were under - staffed on a busy Saturday evening. Will recommend

    Excellent indoor & outdoor dining spot to enjoy great food and service. From High Tea events to a la carte.. My favourite is the curries, no, the calamari, oh, so many favourites - do try the caramel cheesecake 😋

    Are you passionate about food? Then I have just the place for you. One of Gansbaai's biggest assets is waiting for you to come and have an unforgettable experience! Eating out deserves to be an experience that lasts long after the last bite’s flavour has left your taste buds. It deserves to be an event, not just a necessity. Dining at Blue Goose in Gansbaai offers you that event and provides you with an atmosphere of elegance, tranquility, beautiful setting in a magazine worthy decorated space as well as a magical garden. The food is beyond expectation. I’ve learned to savour good food experiences here in the Overstrand, but so far, this must be one of my favourite places to go for a sensational food and mind experience. A unique ambience is created from early evening with the low hanging sun filtering through the greens in the stunning garden and the sound of the ocean lapping somewhere beyond the walls. Later the oil lamps provide a golden glow to the romantic settings of colour and harmony. Interior spaces have been decorated with flair and variety. The joining of old and modern fill the place with focal points similar to what I have experienced in Paris. I love it. I cannot add more to encourage you to take the time to treat a special someone to a dining memory here. You will be so pleasantly surprised. I gladly share with you some photographs that I took recently when I had the glorious lamb shank for dinner. If ever you want to enjoy food, you have to at least try Blue Goose once; once a week, once a month, once a year or even once in a lifetime. Worth every cent that you spend.

    This is totally the best restraunt in Gansbaai! It has a cozy, elegant feeling. The waiters were so kind and always willing to help! The food has to be the best I have ever tasted! I totally recommend the seafood potjie! I only took a picture of my dessert though, which was the star of the night! 👍

    I honestly wish I had taken more photos!! The food was so good I only remembered at the end. The vegetarian cottage pie is something worth writing home about. Couldn’t fault it. Service was a little slow but still a great experience.

    After 2 years, we visited the new Blue Goose, and wow, what a great experience, divine food and awesome service from Marlene!! The new setting is great, so lekker sitting on the Patio and overlooking the beautiful garden. Riaan and his team truly set the bar, and well done, we will be back!!! (Our friends were blown away, not what they expected in Gansbaai!). 4 hours later, we went home!!

    Spectacular!!! In all respects. Beautiful magical garden setting, superb food and fantastic service. The widest range of gins you can imagine... and don't forget the cute family pooch ❤

  • 5/5 Janine de N. 1 year ago on Google
    Riaan and Adam are perfect hosts! The scrumptious chef's salad and juicy steak is the banting-friendly option, but I enjoyed fresh veggies and yummy mash with a tender lamb shank that fell off the bone. The stylish ambience, the soft music, the gorgeous decor... Most enjoyable setting for a warm winter dinner.

    We were warmly welcomed and our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was very nice, very welcoming. We had soup as a starter, fish as a main course and a dessert - it was all very tasty! I can only recommend!

    Absolutely fantastic experience The setting was beautiful Food was out of this world For a starter The skilpadjie was very tasty with the maketaan Mains I had the lamb shank which i can honestly say is one of the best lamb shanks that I have ever eaten The mash and gravy was brilliant The vegetables were tasty and well prepared @ty had the calamari and fish combo Once again it was to die for Calamari was well prepared with a light batter The fish was fresh and so tasty, also well prepared in a light batter with a portion that was not shy at all For desert we had the cream brulé and the caramel cheesecake Again were were impressed by the exquisitely prepared dishes If we could we would have a second round The wine selection was good with clearly a peraonally selected range that are all great selections, taking from experience The service was absolutely brillaint Adam made sure we were looked after And even showed us to the lush green garden to cool down a bit and eventually go sit on the stunning patio to enjoy our deserts and the rest of our wine One of the best places to eat in this town by a mile We will be back

  • 5/5 Andre van A. 1 year ago on Google
    The best restaurant experience I had in a whilst. The wine list has interesting local wines at reasonable prices. The menu offers brilliant seafood dishes and curries as something different. The service was warm and the experience casual. Thanks for a good night out.

  • 4/5 Nadène L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was really amazing! Little disappointing that they had no lamb in stock at all, and the owner was a little rude beforehand, but the waiter was nice and the food was great! Quaint with lovely little attention to detail and the most divine succulents in a lush garden. Would visit again, but WITHOUT the expectation of lamb and without much interaction with the owner in advance, to add a damper to the experience. Oh, and the best Creme Brule I've ever had too!

  • 5/5 Michelle W. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow what an amazing experience. We were not that hungry so went for Fish and Calamari. Oh my the meal was outstanding and the crsipy baby potatoes out of this world. Adam, such a great and attentive waiter. Just a great evening.

  • 4/5 Shelley H. 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant is beautiful and has a lovely cosy atmosphere. Food was delicious, service was good until after we received our main course, then we could not get anyone's attention to order dessert, so we decided not to order. Getting the bill and paying also took a long time. Overall a good experience and we would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Letitia T. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best gems in Gansbaai. We loved the stunning garden and beautiful decor of the restaurant. On our first visit we had the Calamari 3 ways, it was delicious and the wine superb. They don't skimp on the portions and even the vegetables were divine. On our second visit we had their famous Butter Chicken which was amazing and their delicious Lamb shank with a divine champagne and calamari tentacles as a starter. Riaan and Adam are such gracious hosts and the staff were friendly and gave excellent service. Will recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone if you want to feel pampered and enjoy a meal in a beautiful setting.

  • 5/5 Tracy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous top notch dinner and service in an elegant, romantic, classic venue with friendly, knowledgable staff. It's just beautiful and spacious with a touch of vintage and a lush garden area. Great variety on the menu that accommodates all tastes. Fillet Madagascar was done to perfection. 👌🏻
