    A very decent burger, not the best but have had way worse. Family orientated restaurant.

    I enjoyed their vegan bean salad, it is very rich and tasteful. They however couldn't serve us cocktails because apparently the bar was busy and they did not have glasses. That was the reason given to us.

    The restaurant has a great view. They serve outstanding milkshakes. The chicken schnitzel tastes good, however, their chips tend to be oily and they still have not mastered the consistency of their mash.

    Really not a pleasant experience. We were treated with disrespect by the managers, we waited for ages for service and almost zero Covid protocols were followed. The food was good, but I won’t be coming back. Very disappointed.

    We brought the kids with and they had tons of fun in the entertainment area. We had steaks, which were delicious and the kids had chicken strips and the best burger in town. Also amazing strawberry daiquiris. (For me, not the kids) we had a great time. The atmosphere is relaxed, our server was friendly and service in general was good. We had a great time and I'd recommend it to anyone with kids and without.

    Food was excellent big portions and amazing tastes. Drink was nicely chilled and the waiter was friendly and helpfull. The manager was also friendly and made you feel like he care. It was a excellent experience. Music was just a little bit loud and not the sort of music I would play on a Sunday,but all have diffrent tastes.

    The vibe just hits different . It is always a jol. The food(pizzas) is the best and is delicious. They have a wonderful variety of drinks 🍸 😍 to choose from. If your looking for a active but also quite place to hang with friends and family I'd say go for it. Ps nice rustic vibe

  • 4/5 Lovemore M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good vibes cold beer, spacious space. Alcohol not so cheap it's a place for young working adults to chill at mainly. I hope that sticky floor has been cleaned.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth P. 2 years ago on Google
    Look nice and the ppl you can see from outside they are enjoying. I don't go in in places selling alcohol. So I was not inside but is looking very nice

  • 5/5 Giovanni 2 years ago on Google
    This was one of the most delicious brunches we have experienced in the last two years. We celebrated my moms 75th. We had a beautiful time. Thank you!

  • 4/5 Imke K. 2 years ago on Google
    They have a really nice vegan menu, including vegan cheescake.

  • 4/5 Nadia M. 2 years ago on Google
    The burger was juicy and the chips just the right amount of crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. We sat outside because it was a beautiful afternoon. The milkshakes were well presented and creamy. The only issue was that the table was sticky and was not wiped down prior to us sitting there. The placemates were neatly placed over any stickiness...

  • 5/5 сергей �. 2 years ago on Google
    5 star place if you like kinda Irish-English sports pub)) Loud companies of fans happen here. Enjoy watching or participating with glass of beer or wine. Food is good!

  • 4/5 Jurgens L. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was great

  • 3/5 Carlo L. 2 years ago on Google
    The place looks and feels amazing. The play area is particularly 👌 good for children. We ordered starters and some pizzas 🍕 and everything we ate there tasted good. There chai latte wasn't something I wil go back for. There coffee was good though. Than our waiter was so friendly and helpful with any and all my questions. She was excellent to say the least. Overall it is a good place to go hang out and I know they say you don't need a booking I will make that booking as otherwise you end up on a small table with the only view of a play area. When it gets to the peak hour of supper time it really gets full and lots of people's there on top of you. Prices are reasonable and there is something for everyone on the menu except sushi 🍣. It's a must visit if you around the area

  • 4/5 Theunis B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food. Our order consisted of ribs, burgers and pizza and all of it was delicious. My only complaint is that the blue chees sauce on the burger was really thin and not what I expected from a restuarant like this. Even saying this, i would definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Times Breakfast is excellent value - Group of 17 bikers and we received fast and efficient service. Very pleased with everything!

  • 3/5 D S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice vibe and friendly staff. Drinks are great and prices are low . However, the pizzas are something that a 5 year old would make from leftover ingredients in the fridge. Very little cheese, pasta sauce used for tomato base and a raw dough base.

  • 4/5 Jean M. 5 years ago on Google
    This has been a very interesting experience. They have very nice starters as well as gourmet burgers which are unique to this establishment. They have a wide range of cocktails, wines and liquors, including the flaming lamborghini, which is rare to find. Because it is so popular, it is advised that the staff might have to increase, however it w worth the wait for freshly made food.

  • 3/5 Johnaleace A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had high expectations, Bossa Nova came highly recommended from new friends I made in Paarl since we moved here. Also to find out it's Monday burger special, I ordered 3. My son declined the chips as the tomato sauce "is really bad mommy". I agree, it's really sour. The chips got 3/10. My burger was really nice though, mushrooms and blue cheese I think. We love to share a waffle for dessert, I'll skip that next time, it wasn't really what we use to. I liked the bar area when I had had cigarette, will definetly visit that space again. Overall my son made friends at the play place and since it was his treat, he thoroughly enjoyed playing. Looks like a nice family place, clientele very friendly.

  • 5/5 Willandie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for a anniversary and it was so nice. The food was delicious. Had an schnitzel with the veg en everything was cooked to perfection, chicken was juicy and tender and the veg was amazing. Our waitress was lovely and kind. 10/10 would recommend.

  • 4/5 Adriaan van den B. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my fiancé had an amazing time there. The food was absolutely out of this world. Drinks menu had wide variety and stunning cocktails. Although during busy times the place lacked good service. Would highly recommend.

  • 3/5 Cookie M. 5 months ago on Google
    I came to Bossa to have pizza and milkshake on a Sunday. Although the place was at most 40% capacity on the dining side the service was questionable. I didnt wait long to be seated but to have my order taken was a lot longer than the five minutes I asked for. Ofcourse the wait for service goes hand in hand with the arrival of the food and quality thereof, but my pizzas was warm and not hot as I wouldve expected comimg straight out of a wood fired oven. The Nacho Libre pizza I ordered was at most bland, the guacomole was cold straight out of the fridge and very little seasoning on the mince. The San Fransisco pizza tasted lovely but it was barely warm, as if it was standing for a while to be collected an served at my table. My chocolate milkshake was good, it was thick enough in consistency but still able to be enjoyed with a straw. Not the first time Ive dined here, usually the service is great and the food hot and fresh but this specific Sunday just didnt do it for me. Only positive critisism, its a fantastic spot to chill with friends.

    Great atmosphere, food was delicious and the staff was friendly. They do have a wonderful collection of cocktails and food. They recently rebuilt their pub area to be more spacious, which I found to be rather comfortable

  • 3/5 Nathan T. 4 months ago on Google
    3rd time eating here, but my last visit was a bit disappointing, average to say the least. I had exactly the same experience as the previous poster: -waited long for our waiter to take our order after been seated -both our pizzas were cold. Asked to have it reheated and it came back 1 degree warmer than it was when I sent it back. Was too hungry to complain and wait again, so just ate away. Our one pizza, the Nacho libre was disappointing…very bland. Rather stick to the burger, wings and ribs. I’ll give the pizzas a miss next time. I was here previously and had good food and service. Not this time around. It’s a pity.

  • 5/5 DanielVia 1. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely awesome! The food was delicious, warm, clean, well presented. The restaurant is clean, tidy, organized. Staff is amazingly friendly (although I think the manager was agitated....or tired... But he is grumpy. And the hand-sprayer-lady at the front did not even great or look us in the eyes. Get a different job if you cannot be greatfull for having one. Not a good entry.). Still weird that they also want you to fill in you ID NUMBER on a covid form. Do you realise identity theft is real? Your ID number? For a burger? Come on man grow up. But as said, 95% awesome experience. And my stars will remain. Take heed on my warning tho.

  • 4/5 Kelly A. 3 years ago on Google
    We had the mushroom, jalapenos and winglet plate for starters and then for our mail meals we had burgers. The food was absolutely divine. To be honest we liked our started more than we liked our main meal, but that could be because we were famished. The food, the overall vibe and the place is gorgeous and lovely. The staff is very efficient and helpful. They cater to your needs. Will definitely go back here:)
