We had a AMAZING time at de Viswijf. We were in Jeffereys Bay for 2 nights and had dinner twice in this super restaurant. The food and wine is delicious! Sitting inside aswell as outside is perfect. The PEOPLE that work here made our diners...really special, the words friendly & kind is an understatement. We thank you for the cosy en tasty nights! With kind regards, Chiel en JaniceMore
While on a recent visit, with friends, to Jeffrey’s Bay, De Viswijf was recommended and it didn’t disappoint! We decided to visit for a late, leisurely lunch. The balcony being a smoking area, we opted to sit inside and still had a partial view of...the sea. Our calamari starters were tender and enjoyable. This was followed by a delicious paella, more than tasty lemon chicken, a steak cooked to perfection as well as a most enjoyable, well cooked oxtail dish. To finish off a more than delicious meal we couldn’t resist our all time favourite, peppermint crisp tart. What a lovely surprise! Their version of this iconic dessert was amazing. Absolutely different to what we were expecting and, of course, delicious. I am now contemplating asking the chef for this recipe! Good coffee rounded off a memorable experience. Our young waiter was attentive, friendly and helpful. The prices are very reasonable and the portions, ample. De Viswijf is heartily recommended.More
We travelled for 2,5 weeks from Cape Town via the Garden Route and ate a lot but this was the absolute best restaurant we've been to on our whole trip.
WOW! Thank you Damian and thank you for choosing De Viswijf. We hope to welcome you back on your next trip.
We arrived with great expectations, however other than the company our evening was a disaster Of the 4 meals ordered 2 were enjoyable, the the 2 Paela dishes were disappointing - The chicken in the meal was stillbe raw and the dish heavily spiced To...crown our disappointment, after being offered a replacement meal we were charged R45 per prawn which prawn we ate Being an old citizen of Jeffreys Bay and supporter of our local businesses, I cannot and will not return, sorryMore

What more can we ask for in a review! THANK YOU!
Very nicely furnished restaurant with a beautiful view of the sea from a wonderful terrace. The fish soup is a thick creamy soup, slightly spicy. Liver delicious, but also slightly spicy. Children's portion of prawns with chips was incredibly tasty. Shrimp salad was super set...up, salad fresh and crispy, shrimp right on point. Absolut delicious ice cream and very good espressoMore

We admit that we got to the restuarant a bit later . We booked the place for 13:30 but we got there later. The manager told us that they would need the table later. We asked the waiter if we could then move to another...table. She said she would ask the manager they did not get back to us. One of us ordered grilled calamari they accidently mixed the order and served fried calamari. We did not mind they came and take the plate away while she said its okay she does not mind. While we were eating the waiting came to ask us how many take boxes we need. Not once did they came to ask us if we are okay. I am so dissapointedMore
Again as per email we would like to appologise that this was your experience. This review subsequent to an email to us however seems deliberate with the intent to damage our reputation, possibly because you did not agree with our response per email. A bit...More
The food and service was great. We shared a big plate of seafood for 2 persons. The interior was nice and we were warmly welcomed. Personally I think it was good to go there for dinner, as the view is not very nice during the...day. The location is a bit difficult to find, but we felt safe.More
Thank you for taking the time to send us your thoughts! We are very glad that you enjoyed your De Viswijf Experience! Please do visit us for lunch on the deck as we are one of the closest restaurants to the Main Beach in JBay!...More
We'll relocate to J'bay just to eat here again, my wife's words. The food, service, staff,ambiance, menu, reception and owners makes this place a Gem! What a pleasant experience for out of towners, from Cape Town. My wife and I had a seafood platter that...will put most restaurants in CPT to shame, on variety, presentation 'a Surfboard', taste and price. My son 'burger expert' says this was one for the record books and rates it up there with the best. This was an experience to remember and we'll be back! Thanks to the owner, host and Worsie for looking after us.More
What INCREDIBLE feedback! Please relocate so that we can welcome you everyday! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your De Viswijf Experience! Hope to see you again SOON!
Our host recomended this restaurant and she was right! Cosy atmosphere, delicious food and great waiters. I had the haloumi and fig salad with a side of fries and loved it. My husband had the ox-tail and couldn't get enough. It tasted like belgian stoofvlees....10 out of 10!More
What a compliment! MUCH appreciated! We do hope that you join us again SOON! Safe travels. It's WONDERFUL to know that you enjoyed the De Viswijf Experience! The De Viswijf Team
Chance visit! A group of volunteers staying in J’Bay. We were originally going to go to 60s dinner however by the time we got organised it was closed so I quickly googled restaurants nearby and discovered this one. Seeing the outside we were a bit...apprehensive as it looked quite swish and we were really dressed for the occasion however we were greeted warmly and a table for 7 was set up. The lights were low and the music was popular songs but kinda jazz/piano renditions. I absolutely loved it. I had a very blue cocktail which was nice and sweet. For food I had the line of the day which I think was cobe. Beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I then had malva pudding which was okay but I do love my sticky toffee pudding from Britain! Would highly recommend this place for dinner. Hope to be back one dayMore
THANK you for choosing De Viswijf and for making us part of your JBay experience. What a privilege! Please do come again SOON!
