Reviews for The Grand Gastrobar
Review highlights
Based on 1,173 reviewsThe Grand Gastrobar is widely appreciated for its inviting and versatile ambiance, offering a range of comfortable seating options including indoor, outdoor, and lounge spaces. Customers often highlight the quality and variety of both food and beverages, particularly praising the coffee, mocktails, and unique dessert selections. While the menu features café-style and casual dining options with generous portions at reasonable prices, some feedback points to inconsistency in certain dishes, especially with burgers and sandwiches receiving more praise than a few entrees. Service is generally described as attentive and friendly, and the cleanliness of the establishment, including well-maintained washrooms, adds to the overall positive experience. Occasional longer wait times are noted but considered worthwhile by patrons.
The Grand Gastro Bar offers a visually appealing interior with diverse seating options, making it a comfortable spot to relax. Their coffee stands out as a highlight, paired with affordable and flavorful mocktails that are definitely worth trying. The menu leans more towards a café style, with items like the berry French toast and iced mocha can be recommended as must try if you have a sweet tooth. However, the burgers could use a boost in flavor. Food took a while to arrive, and the service needs improvement — especially in terms of communication among the staff. Overall, a decent spot for a casual hangout with good drinks and a chill vibe.
great food for fair price, all we had was good such as lasagna, spaghetti bolognaise, chicken breast, chicken roullade, fried eggs with bacon, pumpkin soup but soul burger was bad (see images). staff is very nice.
Nice and cosy place to have something with your partner/friends. We had chocolate milkshake, chocolate eclair, chocolate doughnut, chicken sandwich and some burger.. Foods were tasty but mostly sugary which are sweet once. prices are okay compared to the quality and service.. Washroom also well maintained in here.
Been here a few times and I found that some dishes are better than the others. Have tried the Lasagna twice and both times they were a bit hard to cut into once it gets cold and the layers are too thick. The burgers and club sandwiches turned out to be the best so far. The milkshakes were slightly off mark but the iced drinks were pretty good. Overall, excellent portion size and reasonable for the price.
Great atmosphere, clean, the food was good quality, unique food compilations and flavors. The food took awhile to come, but worth the wait. Lattes and dessert is homemade. Service was good too, very attentive to our needs and remember what we ordered too. You can sit outside upstairs, inside the AC, and they have a beanbag lounge space too. Whether you come for a meal or a coffee and snack, it’s got it all.
This place is such a cozy little spot with a warm, woody vibe—perfect for a relaxed meal. The food is really enjoyable. The breakfast pancake was super soft, filling, and topped with plenty of fresh fruit—definitely a nice way to start the day. The English breakfast comes with a good variety of add-ons, including homemade pork and chicken sausages, mushrooms, and eggs cooked to your preference (sunny side up, omelette, or poached). The waffles were freshly made and quite tasty too. Their high tea platter is a nice option as well—good variety and fairly priced. The coffee is consistently good, and I really enjoy their ginger tea for something a little different. The food does take a bit of time to prepare (around 30–40 mins), so just something to keep in mind. ⏳ But with the peaceful setting and friendly staff, it’s a nice place to unwind and enjoy a meal at a slower pace.
Great place to have food. They have a wide range of breakfast and healthy meals. Great in taste and good portions. Nice atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable too. Keep up the good work!
