"Love the extra parking. Staff is easy and profesional. Keanu was exceptional at his job. Pork ribs was soft from the bone. Wedges was tasty. Desert was very nice. Inside it looks very cozy with a bar and tv screens to keep a sporty vibe going. I will definitely come visit again"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Gordon’s Bay Classic Done Right Talla’s in Gordon’s Bay is one of those places that instantly makes you feel at home. Relaxed, welcoming, and perfectly positioned near the ocean, it’s ideal for a long, unhurried meal with friends or family. The food is consistently excellent — generous portions, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with care. Whether you’re in the mood for seafood or something heartier, everything comes out fresh and satisfying. The menu strikes a great balance between comfort food and coastal favourites. What really stands out is the atmosphere and service. Friendly, attentive staff and a laid-back seaside vibe make this a place you want to return to again and again. Add a cold drink, ocean air, and good company, and you’ve got a winning combination. If you’re in Gordon’s Bay and looking for a reliable spot with great food, warm service, and an easy coastal feel, Talla’s is an absolute must."

"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."

"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."
