the decoration is average, the atmosphere is the one of a family restaurant, prices are not modest, but food is good.

We ate at Al Pescatore again on Saturday night and again, we had amazing food, great service and the owner Trevor's undivided attention. We LOVE this place! A visit to Ballito is incomplete without a visit to this seaside restaurant.

Had dinner with the family, no reservations were made yet they were more than willing to accommodate us. We were seated quickly and our drinks orders were taken. Children had a nice selection on the kiddies menu, and got an ice cream dessert included in the price of their meal. The starters were so filling for the adults that there... More

This is one of our favorites. Al Pescatore is just that little bit better. Personal attention by the owner always makes a big difference. Guests are properly welcomed, and feel looked after from the moment they enter. The food is not the cheapest, some dishes are quite pricey, but it is very well prepared and served with a flourish.

The food is really as good as the view! A pleasant dinner while on holiday with the family even during a power failure that had Ballito in the dark. Sitting in a deck overlooking the sea has to make for a memorable meal. The seafood in the menu was also well prepared and tasty. The host was friendly and made... More
