On deciding to do a day trip and explore Mossel Bay, we had worked up an appetite and were unsure where to find a classey, yet inexpensive, 'Water Hole', and at our age (we r mature) we prefer a vibey atmosphere without clutter:) When we entered the establishment (Cafe Gannet) we wondered whether it may be too pricey as it...

We read the reviews and turned up to have a coffee and check the place out. After all it is called a cafe. We'd already had a big breakfast so we weren't ready to eat an early lunch and we regretted it immediately. The place is very large and has a shady garden and a verandah that overlooks the sea....

Delicious food, great environment, great service. Not the biggest option of choices on the menu, however, very tasty and well presented. Only down-side was the starter was a little slow in arriving and main course was delivered while still eating it. Slightly on the expensive side, but the quality of the food is worth it. Definitely worth a try!

Went to Cafe Gannet on our second night in Mossel bay. The food we has was fantastic but the service from the staff left us nonplussed. From the time we walked in and asked if we could see a menu we were treated with disdain. The drinks we ordered were slow to arrive and when we were done with the... More

what an amazing experience i had! The food, ambience and a wine list that will cator for all pallets and beautifully compliments the sea food menu. My evening ended off with a visit to their fine bar overlooking the great Indian ocean, where i enjoyed a wee dram of Glenfiddich 18 and i fine cigar. BLISS

My wife and I stayed in Mossel Bay for one night whilst travelling the Garden Route from Cape Town. We had read reviews on places to eat before leaving England and Cafe Gannet was on our short list. It came recommended by our guest house host and it was only 15 minutes walk away so that swung it. We had... More

Exceptional service and attention to detail, great food, beautiful location! We booked a served set menu brunch for 25 people, and were pleasantly surprised with the food as well as the service and attitude of the crew. Smiles everywhere, and nothing was too much to ask. Great job guys!
