Pleasantly surprised with the cosy ambience, friendly and professional service and good food. My cob was delicious, the portion generous and the salad that I opted for very crispy and tasty. So also the cheese cake.

We had a fabulous meal here. Lavender looked after us so well. Warm welcome, lovely clean table and excellent food. The mushroom soup was the best my friend had ever eaten. I had the pork filet and it was tender and delicious. Thank you for...our great meal.More
We had lunch at Ben's on the Beach and the food was outstanding. We booked a lovely table at the window and had great views of the beach. The service was excellent and we will definitely go back.
Nice atmosphere, good food and amazing views over the bay. I had the battered hake and chips. Will go for that again. Calamari was also very good.
Ben's is a possibly under discovered gem in the Strand, Western Cape. Situated on the beachfront, book a window table for the excellent view. The decor is welcoming and provides an excellent environment for enjoying friendly service and a value for money menu. The menu...is not fine dining but offers a wide range of grills and other options including vegetarian. The specials are very well prepared and presented. Medium prices for top quality food and very friendly service of freshly prepared meals. Patience is well rewarded. Street parking. Reasonable wine list.More
Still the same fabulous good quality food at reasonable prices. We have been away for 5 years. Bens has not changed. I had old fashioned “ skillpadjies” lovely. My husband had ostrich carpaccio- loved it. He had a fillet steak . Cooked to perfection. I...had tongue- the best I’ve ever had, tender and so tasty. Served with a beautiful sauce and baby potatoes. Can’t wait to go back for this dish again. We will be back, again and again.More
Wow wow wow!!! What a experience. The pork belly is a must and the service was fantastic! Roshan was exceptional!! Well done Ben's!
Absolutely outstanding! Food was incredible, view amazing and service even better. Highly recommend their home made chilli sauce and truffles
Lovely view. Steak was not cooked to order. Medium rare is not well done. Service is friendly. Will try it again. Maybe cook was distracted.
We had a fantastic experience at Bens. I took their recommendation and tried a "Wing Rib" with Old Man Mustard Sauce. Absolutely Delicious. My partner had Grilled Fresh Linefish and she loved it. It was a cold but sunny day and the restaurant was kept...warm and cosy due to lots of heaters. The decor was modern and homely. The view of the ocean was the cherry on the top. We will be back soon.More
WOW!! Thank you so much for visiting us Mark. We are so delighted to hear that you received the true Bens experience. See you again soon
In March 2022 we dined at Ben's on the Beach on two occasions. The atmosphere is great, the staff friendly, and the cuisine excellent regardless of what you order. This is not a cheap restaurant, but it is worth visiting for that special dinner.
Zanzibar Peri Peri chicken was a huge portion but not the Peri Peri we are used to , was hot with no flavour, would definitely not recommend it, The lamb curry was ok , very bland. The ribs were good as was the sirloin. Food...: 6/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 5/10More
Service was great and the food was terrible to say the least. Really expect a lot more for the bill I received. I hope I just caught them on a bad day.More
Good day We sincerely apologize that you did not enjoy your experience at Bens. We take full responsibility for this mishap and will look into it. This is clearly not our standard. In Future please do not hesitate to let our manager on duty know...More
Been to this restaurant several times before. This was my first visit after lock down was lifted. Menu changed, very standard choices. Ordered salad for starter, tasteless vinaigrette, very salty ingredients. Ordered fillet steak, the worst ever. Never again
While visiting our friends in Gordons Bay over the weekend, we decided to have dinner at Ben's (02.10.210) a treat we always look forward to when in the area. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding as well! Some of us ordered the...Schnitzel, while others selected the Mauritian Seafood Casserole, Tongue and my grandson ordered a Cheese Burger (which he usually doesn't finish, but devoured this one!) Our waitress, Shene was very efficient and friendly. Our friends told us about the Curry Special on Wednesdays, and as we were only leaving to go home on Thursday we decided to go back to Bens. Once again, Bens did not disappoint.....It was delicious, Curry & Rice, Roti, condiments, and a glass of wine included. Thanx Roshan and Michelle (very efficient manageress). We will definitely return on our next trip to Gordons Bay, keep up the good work.More
