If a restaurant is billed as a grillhouse and pizza place then I am hesitant to order anything else bar their speciality. However, as I am not a great pizza lover, I ordered the hake and chips. Well, I was blown away! Not only by the size of the fillet on my plate (enough potato chips to feed a family of 4) but by the way in which the fresh fish was so perfectly prepared... its flavour enhanced by a lemon, garlic and butter sauce and a far from bland sauce tartare! My husband's starter of calamari was HUGE, so be aware that their portion sizes are over-generous.I was pleased to see the use of bio-degradable straws, as well as the use of environmentally friendly cardboard boxes for take-aways.Dear JilldutoitThank you for your beautiful message. We want to thank you for your business and assure you of our 100% commitment to customer satisfaction.We appreciate it very much and we look forward to you joining us soon again.Kind regards Fernando.

We had great burgers handmade with delight by the chefs behind the counter. There is a courtyard to eat in or you can go to the seating at Richmond Hill Brewing Co for a beer to go with your burger. Great place to grab a lunch.

We were three having lunch at Hussar Grill. Our food (2 steaks) arrived 40 min after ordering despite the fact that we were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time. My steak was disappointing: I ordered it rare, and received it as more than medium done. I would give them a second chance though as they have had good reviews.Dear 58Carisas, We are extremely disappointed to hear that the food wasn't of the highest quality that we aim to achieve. We are however, very happy you are willing to give us another chance and we will make sure you are not disappointed. We cannot wait to have you back with us again soon. Many Thanks, Hussar Grill

A small menu focused around meat. Beef, pork and game variety. This place is in an upcoming trendy area and therefore parking is in the hands of the street g-ds. Inside you treated to a small cosy bistro with three different rooms. Fair price for the meats and the steaks are always cooked to your satisfaction. This could be a nice romantic spot.

This restaurant never sees to fail when it comes to quality service, atmosphere and food. Recently visited once again, and now even more impressed . I would certainly rate this restaurant THE BEST PE HAS TO OFFER WHEN IT COMES TO STEAK. Although the menu is small and limited, i can guarantee that your tastebuds will explode in pleasure as the steaks are made from the heart. For starter lovers, the flamed chorizo is a must try. It is an out of this world experience overallThis is my no1 stop when dining outGood day,Thank you once again for your wonderful review. I'm really glad you enjoyed our hospitality. Always a pleasure welcoming you back.Regards Louis Barkhuizen

Sitting outside on the deck on a deserved #Friyay afternoon after a long hard week, I was pleasantly surprised at the lovely ambience created at this sushi restaurant situated in a rather uninspiring little shopping center in PE.They have a lovely range of sushi, teppanyaki, and other interesting seafood mains on the menu, all fairly reasonably priced. I was super-impressed with my sashimi salad which, at R98, was gratefully generous in the amount of sashimi (salmon, tuna, prawn and crabsticks) served on a bed of fresh crisp, julienned and spiralised greens, fashionably presented in a deep salad bowl, unlike the accustomed small sushi-plate servings! My hubby opted for a selection of salmon roses and the Tempura prawn sushi, which he ordered with their wicked superhot Wasabi. There a few things that make me cry, and this (I'm ashamed to admit), was one of them!Our meal was beautifully paired with a glass each of the house Sauvignon Blanc. The service was prompt and professional, with the manager even coming to check up on the quality of service. A lovely experience; and I would most certainly be back for my powerhouse value-for-money sashimi salad with the superhot Wasabi!!

Awesome memories and experiences at this wonderful restaurant. Their Strawberry Daiquiri just does it for me! We recently took the world renowned Pastor Ray Bevan from Wales in the UK, to this lovely restaurant while he was visiting here in PE, SA. One of my favourite PE restaurants. We enjoyed a delicious lunch! Good food, good wine and awesome company! Also beautiful beachfront views. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. Service, food and drinks was great. Definitely worth visiting for a lovely time with family and friends!
