We love Bossa Somerset West.
Was at Stellenbosch today for lunch and sadly left extremely unhappy!! Ribs very tough almost like wine gums, salad didnt seem fresh and the chicken wings on promo didnt look anything like the picture. A very disappointing experience.
Awesome food! Great portion size of everything on menu. Great service and I really recommend it
I actually had a good experience here (good food, decent service) up until we were leaving, when the lady asked us to write a Google review to get a free coffee. Not cool!
I'm pretty sure this is against Google Terms of Service, and isn't right. This is why they have 10x the number of reviews of any other place! So I would take other reviews with a pinch of salt.
Unfortunately no wow factor, standard bossa. We feel that the waiters need more etiquette training, as they were speaking directly over the food when asking who's order this was. The liquor prices did not correspond to the advert boards, but the manager corrected the prices after we spoke to him. Other than that, the place was kept neat and tidy
Excellent vibe, great food. We really enjoy their burgers, and favour them frequently when it is time to choose! This is a very popular place for after work drinks, so it is very popular in the week, but due to the layout of the restaurant, it is family friendly at the same time!
Great food. Efficient staff. Wonderful array of food on the menu. Waitrons were attentive and the waiting period was very short. Definite recommendation for this wonderful dining experience.
Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Decent service. Sometimes staff seems to be short in busy hours.
Good vibes! Friendly staff & good food. A great place to enjoy a relaxing catch-up/meet & eat with friends.
The Bossa Cafè is a relaxed restaurant, offering a very wide variety of foods and drinks.
The environment is clean, the prices are decent, the service is efficient and the food puts a genuine smile on your face.
Shall return.
Thank you for the awesome service!
My previous visit had a little hiccup, but to say that Bossa corrected it would be an understatement! 10/10 happy customer will return many times ;) really great place with nice food and drink:)
The food was so so nice. Thank for a really good meal bosa nova!
CRAZY GOOD FOOD!! Decently trained staff, and always up for a special!
The owners, husband and wife of this restaurant, seems to be doing a great job at keeping the service top notch! Would also like to personally tell the chefs, well done!! As the saying goes, a business is only as good as the one operating it.
Ilse the waitress always serves my table, as I also always ask her opinion on what to eat, and as it happened with every dish she referred, I end up leaning supper impressed and stuffed, not having space for pudding. "as pudding is my thing" so now I can't wait to try that eventually!
I Will defiantly refer this place! I am now on a mission to try something new every time on that menu..
Very nice place with good food and service. Monday special a really superb deal.
Friendly service, food is very good, place and tables was clean
Nothing special. The beer (Newlands Spring Jacobs Ale) tasted old, and the banting burger wasn't really anything to write home about. Better than La Romantica though.
Most enjoyable evening with special service from our waiter Henry. Thanks so much
Contemporary looks and vibe - much like most similar places lately - wood, leather, etc. Good burgers and spacious areas
Nice venue with good food! Waiter not so good did not know his prices & got my beer order wrong & then forgot to rectify it on thd bill???
Good place for a well priced and wide selection of food. Good for a beer after work as well.
Enjoyable evening and pleasantly surprised with good service from experienced waiting staff. Food is simple, and generous portions.
Crowded at times, no non smoking area and really unpleasant trying to enjoy your food with the horrible smell of cigarette smoke everywhere.
Not great staff at all.
Average food.
Good food and service. WiFi works good but it can sometimes take a while to get your food
“Best to avoid this place”
After many years of not going there due to the declining quality, I took my work team for a quick lunch since it is close to our offices.
What a mistake: waitresses were nowhere to be seen, and halfway through our meal, one of my colleagues noticed a piece of burnt string in his pizza. He took it to the front desk, and eventually a waitress (not even the manager) came and informed him it was a piece of a mop that they had used to clean the pizza oven.
At least they had the good grace of deducting the one pizza from the bill, however best to avoid this place altogether.
