Review The Blue Gem - Bloemfontein

What an absolute experience to enjoy the evening at The Blue Gem! Simon and his team goes above and beyond to make the visit as memorable as possible. From the friendliest service at reception, to the most delicious food and drinks that are served with a special touch - you cannot go wrong with them! Definitely one of the most classy establishments in Bloemfontein with the best team.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Blue Gem Restaurant at the Preller Square. This charming restaurant offers a relaxing ambiance. The food is excellent, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. A good variety of food in the buffet was provided. The restaurant is also family-friendly, and there is a large outdoor patio that is perfect for dining outside. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience at the Blue Gem Restaurant. Stunning restaurant with BEAUTIFUL bathrooms, restaurant is well decorated, friendly staff, music, quality food and service. During our wedding reception, no one missed out on the speeches when it was needed to run to the bathroom, the audio is connected throughout the whole restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent venue to have their wedding celebration, birthday party, renewing their vows. Simon, the owner of Blue Gem has an eye for attention to detail, accommodated a room for a photo booth section for our guests and simply made the whole process very easy to organise. From glasses, to cutlery to plates and placemats were discussed, no need to arrange an Events Planner, Simon is your guy!! Thank you to Simon and his team for making our special day extra special, attention to detail is on point.

Had a really nice time at the blue gem, they have really great food and the service was splendid. It is also not that expensive considering what you get. It is definitely nice and value for money and I would recommend them if you are in the area or just visiting Bloemfontein.

Our dream wedding became a reality as Simon created a fairytale venue overwhelming all your senses. It felt completely as if we stepped into another dimension. Nothing was too much effort for Simon and his team. Thank you Simon for your absolute exquisite taste, eye for perfection and attention to detail. Thank you for the finest cuisine offered in Bloemfontein, prepared by Chef André. Do you strive for the finer things in life? Visit The Blue Gem and be spoiled by unmatched professional and personal attention. Thank you Simon and you Dream Team for exceeding our wildest expectations at the True Gem of the Free State and probably the whole of South Africa, THE BLUE GEM

Wow. Beautiful Place indeed. December is our favorite time to visit Bloemfontein and the Blue Gem is our newly found Gem in Bloemfontein ❤️. First of all the entry into the restaurant does not give up anything. Once you step in its like walking into a different place. The atmosphere is amazing and very relaxing. We fell inlove before we even saw the menu. The host and the waiters were friendly and warm, we felt relaxed. The menu has amazing options for me, my wife our daughter and son. It was an amazing experience. The food came and it did not disappoint and was very delicious 😋. We went for desert which is our favorite of in ending a wonderful night. The desert and the dramatics surrounding it when served was great. We are definitely coming back and we can't stop telling our friends and family traveling to visit our newly found GEM.

Thank you to Simon & his team for hosting us last night for the RWC Final. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and more. The Blue Gem is a MUST visit. Beautiful food, wonderful service & excellent atmosphere. Thank you Simon!

It's beautiful and very calming. The bathroom is my favorite part, friendly staff and good food. The sause my friend ordered had hair inside though 😔.

It was an awsome experience the waiter did so much efford he was friendly, well manered and the food was to die for. I highly recomment The Blue Gem

What a gem in the heart of Bloemfontein. An amazing atmosphere. This restaurant is split into two sides: the quiet restaurant and the much louder club-like atmosphere so you can come here with your family or friends. On the quiet side where I was, we were served with a smile. The menu is quite detailed from seafood to meat and an array of starters and desserts. The meals we picked were delicious except the creme brulee tasted more like a panna cotta. Regardless, it was delicious and I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed two dinners at this restaurant. The atmosphere is out of this world. Very modern and trendy. The owner is very friendly and committed to render excellent service. I recommend the oxtail or tapas. The only negative thing about this place was the terrible wheat salad. I did report it. Highly recommended if you want to impress a lady.

I loved everything about this place. Their service was exceptional 👏. Their food was scrumptious 😋. The ambiance was perfect. I can safely say that this is the best place to wine and dine in Bloemfontein. They should keep up the good work 💪. I look forward to coming again 😀

Everything on point, very elegant, very Romantic atmosphere.. The food, the drinks are absolutely deliciouso.. The owner, the waiters, the managers very welcoming and always there in reach when you need anything.. Definitely worth every penny all the time

An absolutely wonderful classy elegant vibe. 5 out of 5 for the owner and staff. Blue Gem is a perfect restaurant for a night of spoiling yourselves or to celebrate.

Very nice place to have a romantic dinner, you can sit for hours on the comfortable chairs and enjoy the Decor and ambient music. Food was delicious and Fancy. Bathrooms clean and well laid out.
