Incredible experience, highly recommend! Ostrich tartare, mussels and lamb were stand out dishes but everything was amazing.
The rooftop has a great atmosphere, tasteful decor and friendly service.

We are a Vegitarian & a Non Alcoholic couples 😄... I just wanted to experience the new restaurant and wanted to take my wife new place. I booked this place after the veg & vegan menu from their menu list. This is my whole experience on that late night dinner:

I booked @8.30 pm for 2 people, my flight was delayed an hour so was very nervous 😓. But the staff was so friendly and they understood and helped us to get everything. We arrived only at 9.30 pm but while on our way they took our order to get prepared. They are so friendly.

The food we ordered is only 3 to 4 items. Those are snack types. It's not a main course. Because this place is highly recommended for those who want to drink 🍸 and have a party 🥳. The vegan & Vegitarian snacks are ok to get one time. It's not really bad and not really good.

The atmosphere 👌 is very good and worth it for the price what you paying. Always very busy. Better if you booked in advance a few days before. Very good customer care support and effort that all of their staff putting.

Nice rooftop bar with great ambience. We tried their cocktail “The Blush” as a mocktail and it was okay. We really enjoyed the churros, very fresh and tasty sweet goodness.

Atmosphere outside is top notch. Service was a bit slow but okay.

Gigi Rooftop Restaurant and Bar

Gigi Rooftop is located on the top floor of the Gorgeous George Hotel. I was fortunate enough to be treated to a late lunch on Monday by a friend who has come down to South Africa for a bit. I will provide prices but please note that they are from the website as I didn’t take photos of the menu.

First thing to know for those driving: good luck with parking. It is in the city centre, so it’s tricky to find anything close by. Luckily, I found a spot a street up as it was an awkward hour of the day and still light out. I wouldn’t feel as safe in the evening.

Arriving at the Gorgeous George entrance, you’re greeted by an incredibly friendly receptionist who guides you to the lift and directs you to the 6th floor. The mischievous side of me wanted to explore the other floors, but alas, I was running late.

When the elevator doors opened, I was greeted by a stunning interior. It was almost overwhelming with how beautifully done it was. Once I stepped out, the hostess walked me to my friend. Without a booking, we sat inside since the outside area was full, but we scored a super comfortable couch. As I sunk deeper into it, I admired the attention to detail. The colourful artwork, the massive historical bookshelf, and the moody lighting. Everything felt intentional and elegant.

Shock horror, I skipped my usual coffee since it was 4 PM and I wanted to sleep that night. I opted for sparkling water, but their extensive cocktail menu stood out, with almost all options available as mocktails. A nice touch for non-drinkers. I’ll try one next time.

For food, my friend ordered the dry-aged grass-fed beef fillet (R320), and I had the venison (R320). Both were meant to be cooked medium rare, but my venison was closer to medium and quite dry. The jus was watery and lacked flavour, though the cherries were delightful. The broccolini was perfectly al dente, and the crispy potato was phenomenal. It was crunchy on the outside, soft inside. My friend wasn’t impressed with his fillet either, saying it was overcooked and dry. We joked that maybe we’re just not fans of dry-aged meat, but he’s sticking to “normal aged meat” from now on.

The vibe at Gigi is fantastic, and the staff are incredibly kind and attentive. Unfortunately, the meal didn’t meet expectations. I really wanted to like it, but it didn’t feel worth it. Maybe I’ll return to try other items, or just stick to their cocktails and mocktails, which seem to shine.

Great rooftop experience. Not easy to escape cigarette smoke if you’re outside 💀 music was good and drinks were great. Drinks are slightly on the pricy side
