“Amazing lunch!”

I had the chicken curry and my husband had the lamb pot. Both dishes were delicious and we polished our plates! The portions are generous and the attention to detail on each plate was absolutely beautiful! The kids loved the play area and the kiddies menu. A very relaxing, welcoming atmosphere with very helpful and friendly staff! Oh and the Brazilian hazelnut lattes are out of this world! Thank you for a great lunch, we will definitely be back.

“Not so impressive”

Parksport can really invest in painting the inside of the place, very dark. The food was great and the lady who served us was friendly. It was very cold and she offered us some blankets. With so many history you can actually do a lot more for tourisme.

“Great food, great staff, and nearby flamingoes”

This is a big sprawling place, with plenty of tables in its nice gardens. The food was very good. The waiters, and the other diners, friendly. There is a tree with weaver bird nests in the garden. An excellent bird hide, from which we saw a flock of flamingoes, is just a couple of minute's walk away.

“Ok but not superb”

The food is ok but not great and so is the service, the prices and the interiors. We had really good snoekballs. The butternut soup was a bit subtle in taste. The mains were ok. So all in all it is a place for a lunch but not for a superb dinner.

“First wedding at Geelbek”

We attended what we believe is the first wedding at Geelbek. This was a fantastic evening and the host made the venue romantic with hanging fairy lights, a fire pit, and an ample sized dance floor for the 75 guests. The food was out of this world, well presented and the staff were attentive and very courteous. We had a great evening at Geelbek and will definitely be back. If I was to criticise anything, it would be the price of our lunch meal earlier in the day. I found that the hamburgers wete heavily overpriced with an additional cost for extras like rice or chips.

“So shocking”

It is so sad that this would be the only reflection of our lovely South African, coastal quisine for miles around. The food is over priced and definitely not freshly made. The setting is tired and shabby. The only up-side was our lovely waiter and our warm bottle of white wine (ice was a godsend).

Sorry to hear about your experience, the building was first build in the16 hundreds and is a National monument and if you donâ€™t appreciate history it might look rundown to you. We take pride in our food and ingredients are brought in daily fresh to ensure the best quality and we are very popular for our traditional dishes with a touch of fine dining. Our menu is available on Geelbek.net with our prices and not only are we very competitive with our prices but also offer with our meals spectacular views, bird hides and playground, inside and outside dining, event hosting and onsite shop. African Boma experience with a touch of luxury. I trust you had a save onward journey.

“A Lovely Experience!”

We always have a fantastic dining experience here. We would highly recommend it especially when coming out with the family. The kids can enjoy the vast play area while the adults converse over a glass of wine with scenic views. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, well priced and well portioned. The host is friendly and puts a lot into giving his customers a good time. We love the changes that were made to the outdoor area and he has created a cosy laidback ambience for everyone to enjoy.

It is with great excitement that I can inform everyone Geelbek has a new owner. Geelbek has been one of our favorite stops over the years and we are so excited about the new Chef/Owner. Sanparks has appointed someone with years of experience and the food to back him up. They will be taking over from the 1st of May 2018 and we will surely be going back. Good Luck and we are sure you will get Geelbek bact to its former glory.Please see below new contact information for Geelbek Restaurant
