“This steakhouse is a fantastic find! The matured steaks are cooked to perfection, with rich flavor in every bite. The goat cheese and fig combination is a delightful touch, adding a unique flair to the meal. Sides are thoughtfully prepared and complement the main dishes well. Definitely worth a visit for a satisfying steakhouse experience.”

We are frequent visitors of Ginelli's. It is the perfect restaurant for date night or even an amazing family get together.
Their food quality is top notch! Best in town.
Price range is slightly above other restaurants but you definitely get what you pay for, so will go back anytime!
Staff is very well trained and very knowledgeable, they are also very friendly and welcoming.
Love the extra touches that they give with the tastigs when you enter as well as the "spaza travelling shop" escepially the melktertjie kettle!

My wife and I had a quiet "Date Night" for the first time in months. No better place to do it than Ginelli's. We had the best dinner and the atmosphere was great. The waiters and staff are top notch and not once did we have to signal for drinks or anything else.
The owners always greet us warmly and make us feel right at home. This must be the greatest restaurant ever.

We had an unforgettable evening with exquisite food!
Thank you, Ginellis. You guys rock!

Ever had one of those lazy Sundays, not wanting to cook or braai? We had one of those and decided to go for the Chicken Schnitzel special.
8 Schnitzels, cheese sauce, chips, onion rings and 2 veggies, for R300!!!!! We had a blast, and even had enough left over for dinner.
No other place we have ever visited has portions the size of Ginellis'! What great value for money!!
We'll be back soon!!

I’ve been to Ginelli’s 3 times and always leave happy and satisfied after a very tasty meal.
The service is on point, the ambiance is nice and quiet and the food is amazing.
An ideal place to stop and enjoy a good meal when I’m in town.

What a lovely restaurant!
I had the pleasure of being served by the waitress Rosinah, and what a lovely, friendly lady. I ordered a takeaway and upon my arrival she was already waiting for me with a big smile and my takeaway in hand. It was my first time ordering takeaways from them and definitely not my last!!!
What a bubbly personality she had!! I hope I get to be served by her the next time I’m ordering takeaways or having a sit in.

My boyfriend and I went for a weekend away in Middelburg. We wanted something for lunch and found this little gem on Google.
We were very happy with our visit. The service was fantastic and the COVID protocols were outstanding!
My boyfriend and I both had pizza. They were very generous with their fillings. The pizza was extremely tasty!
The service from the managers to the waiters was awesome.
I’d definitely recommend them if you’re visiting Middelburg or even stay in the area.

We had dinner here recently and were very happy. Nelson, our waiter, was great. He was very attentive and friendly. The food was tasty and the steaks were well prepared. The ambience is stylish and modern and we had a nice table. The own little con was that the white wine could have been colder. We would love to return.

This date night was full of surprises. Firstly we got a warm welcome followed by German and Belgium Beer tasting. Our waiter was warm and friendly and came to call me for a beer kegg lift and hold challenge. The food was exquisite and the service matching. A definite must even when only passing by.

Like we do every year, we decided that Ginellis Restaurant will once again be our restaurant of choice. How else, it was a special occasion that could only be celebrated with the best food in town!
My wife had pasta and I enjoyed a fillet of steak. Perfect cannot decribe or give it full justice, this was heavenly! The veg complimented the meat and I just about rolled out of there.
Friendliest staff and management, always makes us feel right at home. Thank you!
We will surely be back for more!
