bellgables

opulence at its finest. excellent service and wonderful food. a definite must.

fantastic service with food that looks like it's art! always a fantastic place to go to. you do wait long for food but it's surely worth the wait.

tables are over decorated in the best manner!
it's my favorite restaurant!

had the pleasure of finally making the journey to bellgables (6th may 2017) when we arrived we found
no fewer than 5 giraffe eating no more than 5-10 meters away so this was a great suprise

the entire property is so relaxed it makes you feel
like you no where near to the suburbs

so let's chat food....when we sat down we were met with a warm welcoming from the waitress and she suggested the chefs specials for the day which was filled medallions and/or duck so my wife opted for the fillet and i had the duck, the chefs starter was cauliflower soup which we both had....the funny part was i was telling my wife about finding a fly in your soup (as the joke goes) and whah happens well.... call it a
jinx
we never moaned we simply told the waitress and carried on with rest of food
the mains were really fantastic and the service great..... will
i go back yes to the rest of menu

well done team bellgables

food was very good. tasty and flavoured. special of gemsbok was not as anticipated, a little dry. staff are very friendly but a little more training for the sommelier- new bottle, new glass - would be be in line with expectations and the ambience. conservancy fees should be in the bill or discounted. should not be asking for cash payment after the bill is settled for the conservation fee. nit pick small but irritating points. make it a complete differentiated quality experience

this is my first time at bellgables and i was pleasantly surprised at the very extravagant decor with an equally extravagant culinary experience. when i read the menu before arriving. i thought it was ok and too much red meat and didn’t think i would enjoy it. well it was such a beautiful surprise to find the food experience well exceeded the words on the menu. highly, highly rated ito extravagance and special treat.

amazing and unique in terms of jhb restaurants. the baroque style creates a memorable experience to talk about. food came in perfect timing and was truly exceptional! thank you!

the food is fantastic and it's an absolutely romantic place that feels like a magical fairytale on it's own. and absolutely brilliant if you require candlelight.

a real hidden gem in a beautiful setting away from the hustle and bustle.

decor and ambience is stunning, way different from the norm with unusual seating. my husband and i were seated at a larger than normal table that’s definitely not for 2 yet tastefully decorated.

we were treated with freshly baked bread and butter. starters, main course and dessert was really good and so was the service.

one of the places with the most interesting settings i’ve seen. very beautiful roman or greek theme. friendly management and staff. the food was also excellent. prepared by chef errol. one of the best restaurants if been to

all i can say is wow!!! between the 5 🌟 food and the exceptional decor, service and overall experience, this is a place never to be forgotten. set in a beautiful area with gardens to die for, you really do go to have an experience, not just α meal. try it out for a bit of a spoil as it is more on the pricey side - but completely worth it.

oh my, what a unique experience! it’s really difficult to describe the ambiance but this is a must go to!

food was well prepared, staff very friendly and the deco, i will do it a disservice if i try to describe it!!! there is a pool area and garden for one to wonder around with bubbles in hand.

amazing atmosphere and a dining experience! service was exceptional and the food was superb! awesome flavor and prepared with passion! one of my favorite restaurants for years! always special and consistent! great people and so relaxing!

we had a lovely public holiday lunch at bellgables. the drive there was relaxing and we were greeting by some springbokke (not the rugby kind just the real ones) when we entered the conservancy. service was excellent, from parking to being seated, and i feel we got the best seat in the house! the complimentary bread was delicious and even more so was all the decor we were surrounded by. it was so different and interesting and made us think of places we traveled to. i had the fillet medallions for mains and my boyfriend opted for the kingklip. i loved the fillet and the accompanying sides, and i was glad to have leftovers for the evening! the kinglip was beautifully prepared too. for dessert we had the trio of desserts. usually we would have opted for the chocolate mousse but we decided to try something different. the sorbet was so delicious and creamy. the creme brulee was perfection and so was the white chocolate mousse.

we really wish we could've had more space in our tummies to try out more but we will definitely back. amazing food and service and what a great way to spend the public holiday!

beautiful and very unique yet novel experience for both food and art lovers. food was prepared exceptionally good (starters: beef carpaccio & blac mushroom, mains: springbok & prawn and chicken curry, desert: creme brulee) and the waiter was trained in serving etiquette, which was lovely. would go back again anytime.

had lunch here today, after looking forward to trying bellgables for a long time. the decor is opulent and does transport you to a different world. the food was very disappointing though, started with a trio of soups, the potato and leek soup was very good, the butternut was ok, the onion soup was very sour and almost reminded me of an onion marmelade, i left both the onion and the butternut. the duck and cherry pie was massive, way to big for one person and was very sweet with an overwhelming game taste.

after writing the review and mentioning the lack of action regarding complaints, management contacted me directly and apologised. i was also refunded for the meals. very good after customer service, rating adjusted
