On entering the Centre we were unimpressed however when our eye caught the restaurant we were quite surprised. Beautiful decor and a real warm welcome. Cocktails were good The salmon starter was average - tasted like tuna - snails was ok - loved the gnocchi-...dessert was amazing. From the first time we sat and as the evening progressed service seemed to have gone from impressive to slack.More

We ate the most amazing food here, Jacques had the ribs and I had the platter for one to leave some space for dessert (that was decedent and to die for)! This used to be our favourite place in Bloemfontein before lockdown and we now...remember why :-) Thank you to Blue Gem, Simon and René for the wonderful service! And our compliments to the chef! We will have many happy returns here!More

The Blue Gem is as its name states,a gem, from the customer service to the food not even mentioning how the decor let's you forget that where you are. Try it out and see.

exhausted after a long drive from Cape town to Bloemfontein, we were looking at having a nice dinner not too far away from our accommodation, at the guest house we were recommended to go to the Blue Gem and had a very nice food experience...there, we were served large portion (really too large or us actually) of delicious food, generally quantity hardly goes together with quality but The Blue Gem makes it happen. The restaurant has a very good atmosphere, our waiter whose name is Thato delivered a very efficient and pleasant service. Will be happy to have dinner there again.More

Very good atmosphere. The waiter is friendly and professional. Simon really have a hidden gem here. We will visit soon again.

Wonderful evening the set menu was supurb and the live music made for a very romantic evening. Loved the dancing at the end.

Took my family out for a Sunday lunch and at The Blue Gem we had their Sunday Buffet, the food was very well present and the selection incredible. Real Value for money in a very beautiful surrounding.
