We have had breakfast here a couple of times while traveling between Knysna and Cape town. Every time we have been a bit early before they opened, and every time they invited us in to sit and wait inside and wait for the kitchen to open. The food is good and the coffee is warm. Wonderful view out over the bay.

Most beautiful setting right at the water. Best fish and chips we have eaten in a very long time. Superb. Drinks being milkshakes were the real thing. The best lime milkshake was the feedback from the wife. The Chocolate shake was also great. Service was prompt and professional. Food arrived in good time. Prices are also very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Fresh seafood on the harbour. Lively rustic ambience. The food is fantastic and well priced. Breathtaking views of the bay and Outeniqua mountains to the north. The yachts drift by. It feels like you on a boat.I can highly recommend it.

Lovely atmosphere at this beautiful restaurant! People where feeding the seagulls and made that a truly excitement for kids watching. The food arrived and wow was that a treat! The salad was a little bit of a let down, but the other meals were amazing! Waitress was super friendly, bathroom were clean and plenty of parking (may just have to walk alittle). Thanks for the great dinner.

We visit this restaurant every time that we are in garden route. Love this place! Best view. Delicious food. We always order the ocean basket, its fish, calamari and mushrooms. The calamari is different than previously. Much more chewing. Will definitely go again but will order something else.

The name says it all. This is the spot if you want a great plate of seafood and a relax atmosphere, its rustic and unassuming, yet a sense of belonging as you sit amongst all the travelers names edged onto every available space. Great service and fresh seafood.

Beautiful, friendly environment, i ordered a hake and chips and was blown away by firstly the portions and secondly the culinary experience. I have never in my life had the pleasure of eating such a wonderful fresh and tasty meal as what i experienced at The Sea Gypsy Cafe. This establishment was recommended through a friend and i am so happy i experienced this, will definitely see you again when in Mossel Bay

Amazing service and friendly, genuinely nice staff. Awesome ambiance with a view over Mosselbay , Diaz, Hartenbos cove over the ocean. This view only improves when its dark. The starters were flavourful and aromatic, but the mains were average.

It stay an experience to visit the Sea Gypsey. Rustic and nice. Service excellent. My hake&chips very nice, as usual. My husband ordered a seafood basket, also very nice, however a bit oily. The view excellent over the bay of Mosselbay. Worth a visit!

Food less than average, especially the chips and mayonnaise. With relative high prices. Impression that place is not clean., because it is so old? .....maybe not our style....Will not go again😒

The restaurant is very well decorated, the view to the sea is great. People are friendly, but food was not that good. Very oily, the tastes between the different things we were eating were not that different. Need improvement regarding cooking.

Review №53

Starter creamy mussels are not worth ordering. The sauce is thick and lacking any flavor. Main dish was line fish (butter fish) with calamari. The line fish was ok but the calamari was too crispy.Hake and chips ordered by the rest of the group was a hit. Maybe stick to the most popular meals.

This place is unique and a must try when you are visiting Mosselbay. Great fish & chips, good prices, stunning service and authentic sea restaurant atmosphere. I love the blue wooden benches and the beautiful scenic view over the bay. Have been here many times over the past decade when we were visiting and have never been disappointed. And then to watch the hartlaubgulls playing in the wind - an absolute treat!

From Mosselbay to Danabay, for those that want to explore, be safe, never walk alone, always take pepperspray with, dont talk to strangers not dressed as trailrunners or hikers, be weary of the ones that would like to know the time, dont carry too many things of value. For the area from Mosselbay point to Pinnacle point security hut, keep your distance from strangers, peek ahead, when you reach the Pinacle point controlled access point hut, you know you are safe and you can enjoy the rest of the route. This is the safe area. Take at least 1.5l of water for this route, dont forget the sunscreen. Please press the like button if this review was of any assistance to you.

I loved this place. Theres a specific look they went for, old, rundown and 1920s feel of the coast and they kept it. It does give yu the feel tjat you are in transit. Serving were big and the food was great
