How is The Fat Fish rated?

The Fat Fish is one of George's best and more reliable restaurants. Very well run and excellent food. I had the Mushroom Dim Sum starter which was delicious and the Sesame Calamari and Hake for the main. The family then had the brownie and ice...cream for dessert...the brownie was rich...I may have tried a bit 😋More

Dear johnsoni2015 Thank you for the fabulous feedback and rating! So sorry that the family had to share their brownie with you ... they'll hopefully know for next time to order dad his own portion ;) So appreciate your continued support. Kind regards, The Fat...More

Highly recommend 👌🏻

Service, food, menu, atmosphere.... everything was exceptional. My husband and I opted for the "winter special" - a 3 course dining experience where you could choose between various starters, mains & dessert. We ended up with 6 different dishes between the two of us and...we struggled to decide who's was the best! We are not vegetarian, but I noticed several vegetarian (or vegan?) options that looked quite appetizing. Portions are generous. Food is plated beautifully and each food element on the plate compliments each other. You could see the chef put a lot of thought into creating the various dishes but it is not pretentious. Simple ingredients, but served in the best way possible. They also offer a wide wine selection, various gin and other drink options. We can't wait to go back!More

A clear winner in George

This is a firm favorite every time we visit the area. We are grumpy spoilt customers from Gauteng, so we are demanding. Fat Fish blows us away every time. Interesting menu, lovely wine and exceptional service. We sat outside close to the lovely trickling water...feature - Impi was our waiter, it was just the best afternoon. We each had had the seafood platter for one - highly recommended, and the bobotie spring rolls for starters. All round great experience and well done for your consistency over the yearsMore

Lovely, bright, comfy, vibrant

Lovely Venue & service. Shannon our waitress was super! We asked so many questions and she handled them Like a pro. Great service, lovely clean bright restaurant. The grilled calamari was lovely, the coleslaw could be better dressed as all dressing at bottom not much...flavour on top. Chips were lush Sesame calamari maybe an option to have without sesame? This may exist and we just didn’t ask. Peri peri sauce lacked flavour and spice - I added Tabasco & salt - then it was the bomb Local gins and attention to detail with the fruit & herbs on served is excellent . Raining today but the garden looks divine for a warm evening. RecommendMore

Outstanding

Always a great experience. The food is exceptional and staff very professional and friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable at all times. Have tried most dishes on their menu and cannot fault any. If you love seafood this is a great destination.

Little gem in George

Beautiful restaurant with exceptional food and great service. The starters (prawn; fried calamari) were delicious and really something special. Not only a feast for the tongue but also the eye. Main dish was kingklip with fries. Flavourful crust with a touch of chillie. Would definitely...visit again!More

Rather change tour name to fancy bad tasting fish

Definatly not a good experience. The venue and service was good however the food was way below par. The oysters was very small - i suggest asking to see them before the time. We also ordered the line fish; doubt very much it was fresh...fish, it was over cooked and served on a heap of tomatoes and olives - not appetizing at all.More
