We enjoy the atmosphere at Alegria as you are so near the sea with a stunning view. Food are very good and also something different on the menu. Staff very friendly and good service. Don, the owner always make everyone feels like friends and family. The bonus is the live music occasionally to add to the experience. One of our favorite places to visit.
Nice fresh cob grilled to perfection, what could be better, only more. The view perfect compliment to the meal.
Best cob I had in years. Lovely little place ON the beach with personal service and fresh sea food prepared well.
Lovely experience and friendly staff. The food is absolutely fantastic and would be highly recommended. Beer is nice and cold. Would recommend this as a lazy Sunday with the family.
Sundays live show, Dawid van der Merwe absolutely worth every minute, calamari strips, sincerely best I have had in a long, long time, hosts are polite, friendly and dont hover... smoking area does not affect non smoking. Beautiful views 10/10 from me
Steak wasnt to great but the service and entertainer were good
What a great restaurant; a little bit of Portugal in St Helena Bay. We had various seafood starters and mains as well as their peri-peri chicken. Our meals were fresh, tasty and well presented. Waiting period for our order was good. Very attentive lady who served our table. The views are awesome. Its proximity to the beach makes this a fantastic place to visit. I would definitely recommend Alegria
Firstly, the view is impeccable! You are literally on the beach. Get up and walk on the sand. Next, the food is AMAZING! Fresh! This fish hasnt been anywhere near a freezer. The music and atmosphere makes this place a Phenomenal place to be! Its a YES from me. Only criticism, the hand sanitizer at the door doesnt smell great. Other than that, this place is a gem to be at!
The cake is great and the view is beautiful of the sea. The cat on the counter was adorable, and the service was great! I would definately recommend the place and go there again.
Lovely little seaside restaurant. Service was good. View lovely. Had the seafood platter for 2. Platter was good except fishcakes rather bland & mussels were cold so white sauce was thick almost solid in shell. Would rather recommend the seafood espatada. Considering its a Portuguese restaurant...i expected food to be more flavorful.
Beautiful Windfree day perfect location and excellent food. Keep the standard high and the prices slightly lower. Will definitely be returning.
Just a wonderful venue. Right next the rocks and sea. We were fortunate enough to have outdoor seating, in the tented area. The food was excellent. Cant fault the staff either,friendly and efficient. Highly recommended a visit.
A lovely secluded place on the beach and out of the wind.Service was food.Food for me was however not to my expectations.The calamari I ordered had more batter than calamari and the salad was not as fresh.How ever I would love to return again and experience this restaurant.The Prawn Espetada I would highly recommend.This was 2019.2020 December was the most horrible experience.No stock of any seafood.But the boards advertise it also the menu.I am aware of Covid restrictions and the impact on the restaurant business but at least the waitress could have informed us or at least a manager could have approached us and informed us of their limited menu.This experience I had with 9 other friends was a most horrible experience in all the restaurants I have visited.Also being on holiday you do not want to get yourself upset but to enjoy the festive season.
Cant go wrong. Such an underated place and great setting once you are inside.
Fantastic lunch. Midweek, so not busy. Great service, awesome food. We had fish, Eisbein, steaks and mussels as a family, all dishes really tasty and made perfectly to order. Will definitely return to try the prawns once back on menu! Thanks guys, it was a great experience!
Excellent Seafood pasta. World class location. Great staff
Beautiful view, clean surroundings, tasty food and helpfull friendly staff. Very fitting for the Westcoast
Fantastic venue with sea views and Hake and Chips is worth a try 😋
What surprise amazing view food awesome staff friendly and welcoming recomend this restaurant to all travelers heading to St Helena west coast
Visitors in St Helena Bay must go, the food is absolutely delicious, locals serves the customers so it is a plus. The prices are affordable which comes as a surprise for the location. The view is stunning, I am very opinionated and this place made me keep my tongue in check. This is not for the party crowd though, laid back and cozy.
A little disappointed with the small menu offering, but the meal was good. Lovely view out onto the ocean from some of the tables. Quiet during mid-week lunch, but will need a reservation over weekends and holidays. Occasionally have live performers.
Great place and setting, the food was fantastic at reasonable prices
Brilliant food. Magnificent sea view. Service excellent. Will really recommend Alegria.
Great wine selection, amazing sea food
Been there twice , nice venue right on the beach. Food on the other hand was disgusting to say the least . Prawns was not edible , excuse was it was from a bad batch / Mussels very tiny and chewy . Will we go there again , no!
Beautiful setting on the rocks next to the sea. The hake, calamari and mussels we ordered were all delicious. Friendly attentive staff.Would be nice to see some vegetarian meal options.
This place has a beautiful view and vibe. My husband and I really enjoyed it. Our waiter Chad was great and very helpful and friendly. I was just a bit disappointed in the menu as I was really hoping for a bit more seafood options. We ended up having the Chedamelt Sirloin and it was tasty and tender.
Good food with an excellent view. Our kids love it. Friendly waitress.
THIS MUST BE THE MOST AWESOME VIEWS ANY RESTAURANT CAN HAVE, YOU WALK INTO A AWESOME GARDEN TYPE EFFECT, GREETED BY FRIENDLY WAITRESSES THAT OPENS UP INTO A GLORIOUS PRIVATE BEACH WITH GREAT ROCKS AND SHALLOW WATER. IT IS ANY PHOTOGRAPHYS HEAVEN...ENDLESS BEAUTY WITH LIVE OCEAN FISH.......... A MUST SEE AND NOT TO MENTION THE OWNERS THEMSELVES COME CHECK ON YOU AND CHAT LIKE YOU OLD FRIENDS........THIS IS MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANT AND ST HELENA BAY IS A PLACE I CAN GROW OLD IN......
Food quite average, venue is stunning though. Very annoying that they automatically put a 10% charge on the bill, even for two people.I am an adult an can decide for myself how much I want to tip. Please stop doing this Algeria
The seating outside is comfortable with a good view of the sea. The service is good but a bit on the slow side. The disappointment is the food. We tried a variety of their fish platters and unfortunately the taste of burnt oil still lingers. They could just have had a bad day or maybe its best to stick to the meat.
Stunning view and tasty food.
Great food and magic setting
Such a beautiful place with great staff!! Best seafood and SUCH good prices! Unbelievable!
Fish was fresh and portions generous. Flavour wise not the most exciting, but it was okay. The setting is magnificent, though - right by the sea.
Lovely restaurant. Stunning view and the food was great too
Very friendly staff.Innocent is a favourite waiter.lovely scenery.very good cob
Stunning beach restaurant in Britania Bay
Went two nights in a row. Fish platter for 2 was big enough for three to four.. Well prepared, friendly service...
Definitely going here again
The staff professional, kind, friendly, helpful. The food was superb.
Absolutely wonderful experience overall! From the wait staff, the food and location on the sea shoreline ! Operated by a Portuguese family, expect only the best ! Highly recommended and competes with the best in Cape Town!
Great food with an idillic scenery.
My husband and I had a lovely lunch at Alegria for the1st time yesterday. The outdoor seating are nice relaxing. It has an European feeling to it. The service was excellent (big thanks to Anja the waitress) and the food was very good. Would highly recommend them to anyone!! It is a hidden gem. Obrigado!
This is the worst restaurant I have ever been too. Horrendous service, horrendous food - nothing fresh, all taken out the freezer. The place is filthy, table cloths have stains, tables are dirty, light fittings outside full of cobwebs - havent been cleaned in decades. Rude servers. A nightmare from hell. Stay away!!!!!
Awesome food and view
Nice location, friendly service, delicious food.
Fantastic setting, friendly people.
Great food. Possibly the best view ever and fantastic service! We will be back
Loved the food!
We enjoyed a music show there yesterday - Johan Liebenberg performed. The view of the sea was incredible, we ate chips as a snack...so delicious! We loved the place, the atmosphere, service was great!
Fantastic lunch very professional and friendly thanks .!!!!
Amazing food! Amazing staff! Amazing view!
The most beautiful setting, chilled atmosphere and delicious food (and cool live music tonight!).Thank you, we loved our dinner.
Service was very friendly. Very strange though, when waitress came to our table for the first time, she said we can choose if she should wear her mask or not? Mmm, it is compulsory. Very big portions.
Although the staff are friendly and the views are great, the menu variety is diluted. Food were sub-standard. Drinks options limited.
Amongst Covid and all, really njoyed the place. Food was top notch.
Great little gem by the ocean great views great people great food.
A proper gem. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We had chicken, oysters and mussels, all highly recommended.
My 1st visit to St Helena Bay, specially the Alegria Restaurant. Your mussel pot was Devine.
Folks this place is Lekka! Its worth a visit.The owner has pumped in BIG bucks to renovate it and it epitomizes what the west coast is all about.Its a chilled environment right on the waters edge.Food is good and the atmosphere is quintessential west coast!!!
