The food was divine, fresh and tasty. I had rice with prawns everything was tasty and my boyfriend had a rib- eye steak, it was done perfectly, tasty, tender and succulent. I will definitely go back again

Went there for lunch- good food and service. Booked for dinner. As they had live music. Unfortunately live music sang about 10 songs and lip sync for most of the night or played pop recored music while focusing on smoking. If it was my restaurant...i would no t be paying this guy. Manager super friendly, waiter good, food average, limited vegetarian food but we chose the restaurant for live music which was non existent. Would we go again: NO, gone to other restaurants in Clarence with better food and wibeMore

Incredible food, so good it should be in the MICHELIN... Service was perfect, great choice, and a sweet guitar player with a large repertoire.
I would recommend this place anytime!

Great Portuguese restaurant, food was great, peri-peri chicken was good and the peri-peri has sufficient heat to it, but can be spiced up if someone likes it spicy. The atmosphere was great with live entertainment, very enjoyable night.

Having been camping for two weeks my wife andI were looking forward to a nice dinner on our last night on holiday. Liking Portuguese food we thought we’d try Gosto. The prices were steep. With a bottle of “cheap” wine costing more than R200 I...asked about corkage… R90 per bottle. That’s about 50% more than I’ve ever paid anywhere. So we just walked out…
Seems like the whole of Clarens is a tourist rip off.More

This restaurant has really great potential with good food (although the supposedly hot dessert was cold) and excellent atmosphere - but from booking things were indifferent - when we arrived it was obvious the booking never got to the booking diary - staff were unfriendly...- our order got lost so we waited far too long. With some effort a great place - but not at present.More

A late Thursday lunch and still we received great service and excellent food. Food was well prepared and tasty. I had a half chicken peri peri which was typical Portugese, and HOT but with taste. Best Tempura prawns in the basket ever!

Hi
We do a Vegetarian Maroccan Stew with Cous Cous
We are a Portuguese Free State Restaurant so this is my only Vegan option.
Sorry.....
