Review Salinas Beach Restaurant - Wilderness

We have revisited this restaurant over many years. The food is outstanding. Today, we had a seafood mild curry. Out of this world. The service is always great. Views from the balconies picture perfect. We met the owner Masimo today. It is amazing that an owner can still be so passionate about his restaurant after so many years.

Rustic charm with a modern twist! We visited on a rainy day and what a pleasure. Walking up the stairs (or taking the lift) takes you upstairs to the friendly hosts, welcoming you immediately. The food and drink are made well and with attention to detail, and the service is always on point and done with a smile - and nothing seems to be too much of a hassle for anyone. If you have small children, the outside area offers entertainment and fun on a big wooden ship, with tables and seating on the deck for family gatherings. We look forward to spending a sunny day at Salinas soon!

Stunning views. Great food. Friendly staff. The food & drinks took a very long time to come out - even though it was pretty quiet. Not great communication from staff on what was happening.

A wonderful place near the sea. You can see the mountains and sea. Best time to go before they get busy is between 17:00 and 18:00. You can sit inside or outside. Food is delicious. Service is amazing. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Wheelchair accessible.

Great sea food! I can only highly recommend this place! Amazing view from the second floor terace and very good service. We were with 4 ordering different starters and main dishes (only fish and sea food) and they were all fresh and super delicious.

Their Puri and garnishes arrived with the meal unlike the traditional, arriving before the meal. The Puri was absolutely divine; the combination of saltines and flavour was tantalizing. Best Puri I've tasted. The restaurant was hit by load shedding while I was there, there was a temporary candlelight moment before their generator kicked in. Music kicked in a few minutes after the load shedding, but everything worked almost a few minutes after load shedding. More than enough curry, even after I demolished the rice that came with lentils and sambels- I took the curry as a left over. Their curry lacked a bit of flavour but their rice and lentils had a very delectable homey taste. Cheapest glass of wine is around R55 and the curry comes with the rice (good value for money) the waiter was very friendly and easily accommodated me moving from outside to inside. He also gave me a blanket for the chilly weather outside and informed me of the vegan wine options, which I found pretty informative. This place also had an impressive wheelchair access slope and lift 😀, from seafood, meat and vegan options it really appeared to cater for all. Haven't seen that in a while. The views from the outside deck were so tranquil. There was also the option of sitting on the third floor which I assume had better views. In addition one of the waitresses instinctively brought a glass of water with a lemon in it when I started choking (curry down the wrong pipe🤣); great service. Toilets with bag handles and clean.

Wonderfull atmosphere, best battered fish ,good and friendly service 👌 with a great view of the ⛱.

Spectacular views. Generous portions. Friendly service. You have to try the curry fish starter.

Excellent view with friendly staff. Good food and well priced. Will be back

Ordered their Seafood Platter for 2! Lovely location by the sea, beautiful views, good food, great vibes.

A great location overlooking the sea next to Wilderness beach. Good seafood options, worth the visit.

Fantastic food, and such great caring service.

wonderful place to eat the food is gorgeous the staff were great and the sunsets were something else

Food was great, staff was friendly and attentive, and the view was always very nice! The restaurant is easy to find and there is enough parking as you also have the beach parking as an option, then it’s just a short walk around the corner to get to the restaurant. It is in the second floor, but there is an elevator so it’s not a problem if you can’t use the stairs! The waiting period for food and drinks is just the right amount, so no complaints there! I would definitely recommend Salinas to anyone who wants a nice lunch near, but not in the beach!

We enjoyed a great lunch at Salins's! Always a winner Restaurant and one of our favourite places to dine out at!

Very cozy place. The sea view..... Wow.! I will definitely make sure I stop here again and again!

Everytime we are in the Wilderness area on holiday, we always make sure that we dine at Salinas. We are never disappointed. The outside deck areas are amazing, especially when the weather is nice, its lovely to sit on the deck sipping a nice cold beer or a cold glass of wine while watching the sunset. The beer battered fish & chips never disappoints. Service is great. Worth a visit....

Yummy food while looking at the ocean. Be aware the hot curry is a pro tip for people who like spicy food.

Absolutely amazing..come from P. E for the weekend and had supper at salinas both nights.. All the staff are well mannered and give the best service ever.. I would drive all the way to salinas and back to P. E no matter what time of the night it is.. Thanks alot for the awesome food and experience

Definitely not the best seafood...stunning view but disappointing food...bland fish, crumbed calamari???and the prawns 🍤 were tiny

We were a group of 8 from the U.S. and Canada. We enjoyed our meal so much that we made a reservation for the next evening. Our server was Cindy. She was great, very personable and attentive. We asked that we could have her as our server the following evening. We had two wonderful meals in your restaurant. Thank you for the great experience and service.

Best view,best wine,best food,best coffee ever!!

Awesome fish and chips ! Best view in the world . The service was very friendly and courteous. I would recommend this restaurant to all comers

Service and waiter was good. Food was good, but could have been a tad better! But still good enough to go back and have a great time in this beautifull setting. For sure a 4 star from me.

Awesome food, friendly staff and stunning views! Will definitely recommend Salinas!!
