I always enjoy my time at this little gem in sandton suburbs.
Service 4 stars. It is usually efficient and friendly
Food 3.5 stars. It’s pretty simple options great for breakfast or lunch with something everyone in the family can enjoy.
Ambience 5 stars. Stunning location perfect for a Sunday family outing.
It has always been a problem to find a venue that welcomes children and provides a menu and atmosphere better than restaurant chains. Gia's provides a fantastic solution to this problem. The tables are in an established shrubbery far enough from one another to prevent rowdy little ones from disturbing other diners. The service is friendly and the food is excellent. Try one of their beef burgers they are infinitely better than those at expensive restaurants.
We have been to this delightful little garden restaurant a few times and have never been disappointed. The setting is gorgeous, in the gardens of the nursery. Service is very friendly, if a little slow at times.
I’ve had the eggs Benedict here - lovely, and a burger which was outstanding. The all day breakfast is also a winner.
This could be cool spot for an after work beer in summer!
Great outdoors restaurant, that has a peaceful feel. Menu has good choices for breakfast / lunches. We had a really nice breakfast. Waiter staff are friendly.
Good place for a breakfast or brunch. The cafe is set in a lovely garden and the meal is best enjoyed on a warm summer’s day. The food was basic but fresh and hearty.
I love the venue and sitting outside in a garden just next to a nursery and soaking up some sun. You're not out of the city but it feels tranquil.
We had brunch here. I found the food average. Service was okay, but maybe cos we were sitting outside away from everyone.
The place is peaceful and offers tranquility.. I loved it from the moment we went in.. The food is in large portions and the service is impeccable.. The menu is quite good too..definitely would go back
Came here for brunch. Awesome hidden gem along a busy south road. The breakfast was tasty and generous, decent cup of coffee as well. The garden setting/scenery is perfect for a brunch spot, we found it hard to leave so we Ordered some bubbly and orange juice and made our own Mimosas.
The service was excellent, friendly knowledgeable staff. Fantastic restaurant, I'd recommend it to a friend anytime.
Being a big Eggs Benedict fan (sans the ham) it tends to be my usual choice for breakfast/brunch. I've had two versions at Gia's the eggs royale(with spinach) & the salmon option - both were amazingly delicious. I've only been here for breakfast/brunch - it's a wonderfully quaint spot with beautiful gardens and a well stocked nursery for those so inclined. Good service.
Definitely a gem in Sandton. Food is always amazing, tasty and fresh. I have dreams about the food as I live in Dubai and only get my Gia's kick every year if I am lucky! Service and staff is spectacular!
I'll start with the witty menu, because of the pop culture references. Because they missed the opportunity to name the eggs Benedict (Cumberbatch) but if you're old enough you'll get the references to Jane Fonda etc. What a lovely setting for a light meal! We got a table and parasol outside amongst the manicured hedges and grapevines, but you can choose to eat inside the bright and airy cafe if that's more your style. Service is great, friendly and efficient. What really captured my eye was the plating and attention to detail of the food. I haven't seen flower shaped fried eggs anywhere else and the hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict was absolutely perfect, in texture and flavour. The atmosphere is definitely giving 'stay as long as you please' as there is a well stocked bookshelf, free WiFi and places for you to plug in your devices. If you're more interested in the nursery, you could spend a few good hours there too.
Gias is absolutely beautiful, various places to choose to sit with lovely views of the little garden areas,
The food is delicious, there is a play area for the children and you can also have a browse through the nursery.
The service was wonderful, Thank you so much.
The food was tasty and the coffee was so good it felt like I finished it in one slurp. Their homemade food is delicious and the surrounding nursery is incredibly beautiful. I had the burger and although it was very tasty, I found that the bun got very soggy and lost its structure very quickly. Other than that it was a good meal and I enjoyed the environment. Staff were also friendly.
Gias. What wonderful memory. Introducing Oscar - the gentle giant who ushered us in with such grace and attention. The setting: priceless! ...Creeping looming greens all around you. It even has a secret garden... if you look. My friend loved his late lunch but I forgot my doggy bag! Was too enraptured in conversation in this mesmerising setting that I forgot to eat and then it was closing time! LOLEST! I will definitely go again! (4 stars only because I didn't eat except for the side salad!)
Picked a random place for breakfast Awesome atmosphere within nursery. Quick service. Beautiful calm atmosphere. Seperate area for people with children. Will be back.
The food is outstanding. I had a Beef Burger with Fries. Very good service (kind and caring). Beautiful atmosphere wherever you choose to sit both inside and outside seating. The pricing in the restaurant is very reasonable and portion sizes are very big!
Peaceful setting in a lovely garden - A beautiful café to visit if you are looking to disconnect, especially during sunny winter days. Friendly service and nice, unpretentious, comfort food.
An interesting venue set in a beautiful nursery. Good, varied menu and friendly service!
An excellent accessible bathroom and good ramp access. The only problem I the cloakroom is that the back grab rail is set too high.
What a lovely place. Fantastic nursery leads to a brilliant restaurant in fantastic surroundings making one forget where they are. Staff are attentive and very accommodating.
We decided today to visit at least once a month.
Update 2023: for wheelchair users . A bit due to paving to get to restaurant but not insurmountable. nice disabled toilet. Food and everything else still very very nice.
Beautiful restaurant inside the nursery so if you are looking for a stunning outdoor venue this is the place! Yummy food and good service. There is a lovely play area for kiddies which is great and there are tables overlooking the play area so you can keep an eye on the children while they play.
