THE EATERY WOOD FIRED GRILL:
A FOOD FRENZY FOR YOUR TASTE BUDS
Everyone has a favourite hangout and we are no exemption. The Eatery Wood Fired Grill in Belvedere Square is our “go to” restaurant and it never, if ever, disappoints. The staff are always friendly and the food is always good. Except for their vegetarian burger, “The Veganista”. Whatever happened to the huge brown mushroom in place of a patty? Or better still the chickpea and mushroom patty? Beetroot is a side salad or a garnish not a meal on its own, and even though it included quinoa, red kidney beans and barley all you could taste was beetroot.
I have recently changed my diet to pesco-vegetarian so the Squid Salad was my choice. Delicious!! What more can I say. Fried squid tubes and tentacles in a mountain of broccoli, tomatoes (I had mushrooms instead) red onion and fried capers. My hubby chose the Managers Special burger which was a chicken fillet with goat’s cheese and avocado. Yummy Deluxe!! We were offered a Pinotage house wine to try and I simply rolled out. Ha ha ha!! I am in a wheelchair.
Let’s talk accessibility then. Easy enough as there is a ramp, yet whoever designed the bays for car parking failed to allow space to get your wheelchair to the ramp if the bays are all occupied, so alternative scenario is go to Colcacchio’s in the same complex where there is no accessibility problems. Strike that, rather get one of the sexy waiters to carry you in. I must stress though that this is not The Eatery’s fault, all blame is on the complex management. Another inconvenience is the toilet. As a rule the restaurant itself doesn’t need to cater for the disabled so I am not going to complain.
So go to The Eatery and indulge your taste buds in a food frenzy. Sate your thirst on a multitude of grape sins and you will not be sorry…..you will be well looked after by knowledgeable sexy waiters (ours was Keagan)……the next time it could be Armani….or Andre….or Matthew…….crikey did I leave anyone out? The ladies are lovely too but I will leave it up to my hubby to comment. The owner is Marius and is always willing to stop at your table for a chat. This is a family of smiles and great service in a bonhomie atmosphere.
We always enjoy ourselves and will return again and again.
---ENTERTAINER ACCEPTED---- The place was amazing, more than just the vibe the staff is like being served on a first class flight friendly and top notch assistance, I highly recommend booking a table as the time myself and partner arrived there was only 1 seat available and the evening for myself personally called for an outside meal, highly recommended and the meals are decently priced makes you feel guilty to entertain...will return definitely
Popped in here for a quick lunch with my daughter. Very nice venue. Quick friendly service with a good knowledge of the menu and meals recommended were good. Both the chicken and the sirloin were tender. Bonus that we could use entertainer :)
I must say, this is a real hotspot in Claremont/Newlands area. So much so that all I saw when I initially walked in, the tables were full of reservation signs and even locals recommended it. Service was excellent in terms of efficiency and friendliness. The fish gujons I had started the experience well. The batter was light and crisp and the fresh fish was just the perfect way to the tone. The Argentinian steak was not bad at all. The chimichurri sauce was just what a normal chimichurri sauce tastes like and steak cooked perfectly although the steak had parts that were burnt. Overall, this is a great place if you are in the Claremont or Newlands area.
The service here is really good, waiters are quite friendly and the food is mouth watering. I'd definitely suggest popping in for a bite to eat instead of driving past and missing out!

Their full rack of ribs are divine. Love the local relaxed vibe it has. Waiters are friendly and on point. Wholesome eating without pretentiousness.
The food was excellent...even for an early start to the day. Enjoyed breakfast and enthusiastic service from the staff. The cleanliness of the restaurant was something refreshing to see on an early morning as well. The menu is well-priced and the portions don't disappoint either. They have daily lunch specials, so that is motivation to come back and try their cuisine.
The service was really good! I felt well taken care of from the moment I walked in right up to when I left.
The ambience was casual- lots of moms catching up after fetching their children from school!
The food was good and I found their lettuce to be crisp and fresh which was lovely and worth mentioning in my opinion.
I’ll definitely return, should I find myself hungry and around Claremont!

We had our October lunch at the Eatery Wood Fired Grill in Claremont. We had a new pensioner join our lunch group – CH’s brother MH. JT had the Ostrich Burger which he said it was excellent. CH and MH had the Hake and chips which the both thoroughly enjoyed and I had the Steak and Egg which was cooked to perfection (medium rare). Sunshine our waitron provided us with excellent service.
The Eatery has served as a reliable restaurant for hosting meetups and birthday events for years on end!
With a lively vibe, beer and food specials as well as food challenges, this joint is the perfect place for all sorts relaxed but tasteful experiences.
The have an amazing Tuesday special consisting of a burger, chips and drink (beer or milkshake for 2 for R222.
This was a lovely restaurant experience. We half didn’t expect the play area to be there because it looks like a very “grown up” restaurant from the front. The play area itself is a bit small but it’s enough to keep little kids entertained. They also provided our kids with some colouring pages which was great.
The only down side would be that the kids can get quite rowdy and the big kids tend to be quite mean towards the younger ones. There is a board stating children need to be supervised at all times however, so that might be a failing on our part as parents. The tables are however close enough to see the play area.
The food was delightful. We had small meals which were quite satisfying. Our drinks were good. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Overall a lovely dining experience.
Loved the food. They honestly make amazing burgers here. I had a drink called sex on the deck and it was so delicious.
Loved our lunch experience! Great burgers that are full of flavour! And a wonderful beer & burger special that is currently running at the moment.
A great experience. Good food and our waitress was extremely beautiful, kind, and helpful. Definitely recommend
was served by excellence this evening- Queermafia 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🤞🏽🫰🏽
honestly, if you're not here for the positive energy (nevermind the amazing food and the inevitably perfect service) - then i dunno 🤷🏽♀️
dinner has never been sweeter ✨
As I arrived, the owner welcomed me and walked me to my table. He was very friendly and gave me a short story about the place. Beautiful setup, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. My breakfast treat and beverages were delicious. The staff on that shift was very helpful and friendly. It's a nice place to be enjoyed by the whole family.
The Eatery in Rondebosch is great place for families, kids and business lunch. Staff is very friendly and I have to say that they have great choice of food and good draft beer. I had Loaded steak bowl and I definitely recommend. Also, we ordered poppers, wings and tacos...just perfect size for appetizers. Enjoy.
Update review: Still great service and atmosphere at The Eatery. Kids enjoy the play area and the special kids menu/coloring sheet. On the food, I was slightly less impressed than my first visit. Food is still good, but chicken was overdone, and the steak was tough. Hope it gets back to the level I am used too
Best local restaurant in the area! Service is extremely attentive and their lunch club is super interesting and well executed. The owner Marius is an excellent chap and his range of Hot Sauces will keep you forever on the edge of your seat! The only restaurant in the area which has a true passion for their craft and it shows in the execution! Fun for the whole family or working folk taking a break for lunch or dinner. A must visit!
