Without a doubt one of the top restaurants in Port Elizabeth. Although the character of the venue is formal, the atmosphere is relaxed. The menu offers an excellent variety and the wine selection caters for all tastes and budgets. Reasonably priced. The waitresses are well groomed and trained. Service is excellent. Food portions are generous and exceptionally well prepared and presented. The owner is often seen mingling with the patrons. The overall experience is one that makes one feel special.
Het vanaand hier geëet vir die eerste keer. Fantastiese plek. Kos is die beste wat ek al ooit gehad het. Die kelnerinne het pragtige rokke aangehad en die atmosfeer was heerlik gesellig. Great plek!!
Best place ever!!! Best food and dessert I ever had!!! Had an awesome time. Would definitely recommend this restuarant!! Thank You So Much for a Great Evening!!!!! ���������
I really enjoyed myself at The Coachman. The service was amazing. Our waitress was friendly and warm. She was consistent. She regularly checked up on us without being too much and annoying. She is well trained. The food was delicious. I ordered a T-bone steak and I must say it was one of the best I have ever had. My friend ordered Kingklip and I had a taste of it and I give it a 10 out of 10. To drink we had cocktails. My Pina-Colada was perfect. My friend said her Mojito was good but could be better with just a little less ice. Working in food and drinks for a 5 star hotel that is one of the biggest brands nation wide has made me see visiting restaurants a little bit different than I used to before I got into hositality as I now find myself paying attention to every single detail. I must say though that The Coachman lived up to standard and up to expectation. Our overall experience was absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work team �
Always good place for dinner and lunches. Food is great. Service is great and we love the place. Thank you and keep up the high standards.
Excellent service, food was delicious even got a complimentary champagne because its our anniversary. Thank you to our waitress Simone for best service ever. It was our first time at Coachman but definitely not the last. Thank you so much xxx

What a great meal. Just very noisy. If you want a great meal then this is the place to go but not for a romantic evening.

Had dinner there for my birthday, was blown away the minute I set foot inside. Food was also the best by far. And I absolutely loved the uniforms of the waitresses, elegant and beautiful. Will definitely return asap!
Kayleigh was absolutely amazing for our anniversary dinner last night! She was so friendly and bubbly, and continued to check in on us throughout our dining experience. After she found out it was our anniversary, she organised with the kitchen staff to write us a cute little message on our dessert plates even. The food is reasonably priced considering the portion you get and the quality of the meal. We ordered the mussels as a starter, fillet steaks as means, a marvel pudding and death by chocolate cake for dessert. I recommend all of it. 10/10 <3
Great food and a 5 star service. The fillet steak was delicious, so tender and juicy. I would highly recommend eating here.
What a super special xmas lunch this was for us as a Finance team
The best
Tx so much for this awesome experience 🙏🙏
Service: was greeted by the owner and her husband, quickly moved to the table which we opted for at the balcony but decided to switch due to the much colder temperatures. Was quickly re-seated. Service were prompt and attentive
Food: starter of Deep Fried Camembert, scallop and springbok Carpaccio was ok. The cranberry sauce on the cheese tasted like jam from the shelves. The main of fillet and rump cooked as ordered. It was good. Only wished that the vegetable of mashed pumpkin and the other spinach in cheese (?) had more variety as both meat and fish dishes came with exact vegetable.Sole fish was alright but would had been good if there were option to separate the cheese sauce. Dessert was alright quality with baklava, crème brûlée and malva pudding.
Overall good experience of this establishment with the staffs taking great pride with their services.
I had a rump steak and my wife had a fillet. Absolutely outstanding! What a gem of a restaurant, spectacular setting too. Well trained, pleasant staff. Prices were fair and portions generous. Cloakrooms were spotless.
The Coachman has a lovely atmosphere with very friendly staff. Starters were quickly served and were really delightful. The T-bone was 5 Star 🌟 the cutt was proppper in size and magnificent in taste. The side of mash and veg was amazing and compliments the prime cut perfectly.
The prawns needed to be sent back and were quickly replaced with a mouthwatering 6 king prawns that was really amazing.
This establishment is the perfect place to have a romantic dinner and spoil your loved one or friends for a cullenary experience out of this world.
My sister in-law took me to the The Coachman during Festive season. It was busy as expected but service was great. We didn't wait a long time for our food. The food was good, portions are big, I had left overs from the ribs and had them for lunch the next day. Was really good. You might have a challenge getting a parking slot but then couldn't have been because it was during Festive time. I definitely recommend.
Oh My Goodness! The food was so delicious! Friendly and courteous waiters. The view is breath taking that you become absorbed by the whole experience. I can't wait to go back to PE to have a meal at Coachmans! Loved it!
Visited for dinner. When I arrived, they were about 40min from closing, but they still accommodated me, which was very nice. My food was done to perfection and tasted great, No! The food was absolutely amazing! the lighting in the restaurant is a little off, but other than that, everything else is lovely. My waitress was attentive and very helpful with the menu. Their prices are a little expensive but when my food arrived I understood why, their portions are full and plenty and it's food done good, so I didn't mind.
Had a late lunch here. Beautiful atmosphere and equally great servers. This place is great for groups. The halloumi starters were scrumptious and the surf n turf was alright. Had a virgin mojito which was very refreshing.
Overall a good experience. Recommend for groups as it got noisy around us when we were there.
This isn't Hooters—it'd be nice if the restaurant emphasized less on its all-white female wait staff and their outfits. The service was good and the food stood up on its own, so it confuses me why the proprietor runs the front-of-house like this. Some diversity would be nice too, given this is South Africa.
Onto the food: escargot had a bit of a spill and coloring issue, and the ostrich was poorly plated. I did not like the saucing for the ostrich, and the medallions were more rare than medium-rare. Creme brulee custard was quantity over quality: not yolk-rich and made with a thickener.
Lovely restaurant. Upmarket. Excellent food. Friendly staff. Great view over the ocean. Very popular restaurant that gets very good reviews
. I would recommend it.
Beautiful views of the ocean.
Great food.
We have been going to the coachman for a long time over a number of years. Food is always very good. But very disappointed about the cleanliness of the place. We sat on the veranda, there was bird poo over every chair I appreciate that sometime the doors are open but why are they not cleaned off every day. If 1.or 2 I would not have said anything but every chair and the large silver post were filthy not cleaned and yet again full of bird poo as well.
Great food and lovely service. We were enroute to Joburg on a late flight with our luggage but decided to find a place not too far from the airport to chill, eat and have some drinks, the staff offered to keep our suitcases in the office and gave us an amazing service. It's also got great seaviews as it's right on the beach.
Seafood: Kingklip/Crayfish/prawns/shrimp/squid heads/tubes/oysters/mussels/etc.
It's an intriguing restaurant.
You will have panoramic views {~of the ocean~, of course.}
Enjoy!
