Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Really great food! I Love the vibes of this place. Definitely book before hand. Dog friendly."
"Went on a Sunday. Fantastic atmosphere with the live band. The restaurant was full and very lively. Waiting staff were friendly and very efficient. The restaurant is well run and the owner is very present, checking on the guests, very positive from my perspective. I ordered the beef trinchado, meat was tender, sauce was great, very satisfying dish. My wife had the squid heads with salad, also very good. Highly recommended, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and a good day out. Well run restaurant, all credit to the owner and staff."
"We visited Cescos Paulshof and all I can say is wow—what a way to be welcomed! From the start, we were greeted warmly and given seating options. Since it was quiz night, we chose the more intimate setting, which was perfect. Our waiter was absolutely on point. He took our drink order, and within a minute the drinks were at our table. He gave us just the right amount of time to look through the menu before bringing out complementary rolls with an epic chili sauce—seriously one of the highlights! When it came to the food, everything was spot on and cooked exactly to specification. My wife’s steak was perfect—just the way she asked for it. This place is definitely a gem. We’ll be going back soon, this time with a few friends, and we’re keen to join in on the quiz night as well."
"A lovely restaurant for family and friends, food is so yummy and delicious and staff are friendly"
"From start to finish I was impressed. Our waiter was friendly and made you feel at home. Food was incredible and temperature of the steak was spot on. Drinks were perfection and the prices even better! Well worth it and will definitely be going back soon."
"It is a great place amazing food, but a bit to noisy for my taste. Difficult to hear one another"
"This is a gem, hidden in the upper part of Paulshof. Run by a husband-and-wife combo this is my favourite restaurant in the area. This place offers the Cesco's food we've come to know and love (the Midrand one is a local spot for me), and because this is the German Club, a great variety of German dishes and beers! A restaurant that overlooks padel courts, have a nice open terrace (with live music at weekend), friendly staff, a great menu and delicious food. As mentioned, my favourite restaurant in the area, a must-visit."
"Fresh food. Roll mops are the best! Large portions, value for money. Great service with friendly staff and managers."
