We went here for a good steak and all three of us decided to have ribs. The meals arrived and mine was quite a bit smaller than the other two. I called the manager and she quickly decided to resolve the issue and brought me some more ribs. The food was very good. The drinks were served cold and promptly. There were times though that we had to wait for service or ask other staff to call our waitress. Overall the experience was a good one.

A cosy 120-seater coffee shop & restaurant with upmarket furniture and trimmings. Wide variety on the menu, from light breakfasts like bacon & eggs, pancakesto delicious burgers (chicken or beef), lovely salads and lasagnas (beef, chicken and veg), to the big boys like the Big Easy, chicken chilli pesto pasta and the tramezzinis. The focus is on excellent product with excellent service & atmosphere - i.e. the entire experience. Fully licensed, with free wifi for customers. Full menu available from the web site.

Its sad that this restaurant has so much potential but the management is absolutely useless. Went there for lunch on a Saturday, only 3 table occupied. Waited for 1 hour for the food which never came. Waitrons don't come to check what's happening and when complaining to the manageress (which you wait for 10 mins) to show up, she just shrugs her shoulders and says nothing.

If you love Pasta, then this is the place to go to!! I requested to "rewrite" the menu. I was not feeling for the ordinary tomato based sauce that particular day. The manager went and collected the head chef and within minutes the chef put...MoreDear Bella M, Thank you for your amazing rating of Panarottis Richards Bay.

It was hard for us to choose a cocktail from the many available mouth-watering options on the menu. Well worth a visit just for the cocktails, but the light lunch we had was pleasant and well presented by friendly staff. A popular venue.

We visited Porky's for a family dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised by the service and menu selection. I ordered a pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can view the harbour from the deck which is very nice. I'd definitely recommend if you're in town.

We regularly visit this super, but relatively unknown coffee shop. It's only been open for a couple of months, and is located inside the Richards Bay Medical Institute. Safe rooftop parking is also available.
Serving light meals, sandwiches and cakes, lovely presented and tasteful. They also prepare wonderful cooked meals daily, but you must place your order before 09:00. The menu changes daily for these meals. These lovely meals are tasty and offer extremely good value. These meals are also available as "take away" meals.
The coffee is as good, if not better than what any coffee shop in Richards Bay can offer.
We love this little coffee shop, support it regularly and can recommend it.

I had been trying to get here for a while, having heard good reviews. Took advantage of the holidays to go for lunch, and we were not disappointed. Good menu, with a nice selection of lunch specials for R60.00. I only had a soft drink so cannot comment on the wine selection. Very good value, service was fast and the view was great. I'll definitely visit again.
