"We were craving for Seafood during our road trip to Cape Town via Gordons Bay and we found a gem - Talla's Tavern. Exactly opposite to Gordon Bay. Cosy sitting inside and lovely sitting outside with a beautiful view of mountain, surrounding and commuters passing by. Interior looks dated but nice and clean. Staff is friendly, prompt and enthusiastic. But looks un-organized and somewhat confused. Food was fantastic, mainly, Oysters, Calamari, roasted Hake and buttered Prawn, all are reasonably priced. However, Cold Coffee was awfully bad !! could not drink even two sips. Parking area is on opposite side near beach."
"Lovely spot a road away from the ocean front. It's lovely sitting outside, but for the noisy cars driving past ad-hoc. Inside, the restaurant has this worn but loved appeal. Food was great! We had calamari and mussels, both we'd highly recommend. Prices were reasonable."
"Stopped here on a road trip through Gordons Bay, and of course on a search for some great seafood. Talla’s did not disappoint. Their Oysters were fresh and the calamari delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try some more. Check out the Daily specials on the photos. The view of the ocean certainly helps."
"Food was good,great service and nice wines available. Value for money."
"I always wanted to taste perlemoen. Luckly they had it on the menu and it was delicious. Oyster was fresh and yummy. The steak was also great and so was their burger. Staff was very friendly. Since it was a Sunday and Gordon's Bay was very busy they opened their private lot for patrons to park for free. That was great."
"Great views of Gordons Bay beach and mountainside. Friendly and helpful staff. Really great way to unwind after a long work week. The food is very good and great value for money."
