Krystal Beach Restaurant – Excellent food, great service & perfect setting

The Krystal Beach Hotel on Harbour Island, Gordon’s Bay, is a local landmark. One of the largest buildings in the area, the hotel is spacious, contemporarily decorated and designed to enjoy the northwest view across the small boat harbour. There are a number of restaurants and pubs in the hotel and on Harbour Island, but it is the Krystal Restaurant that tops the list for excellent food, great service and perfect setting.

Like the rest of the hotel, the Krystal Restaurant is spacious and sophisticated. The murals are eye-catching; the seating very comfortable and the views through the folding deck doors add a holiday flavour to this fine dining experience.

A fabulous fine dining experience at the Krystal Restaurant

Krystal restaurant food — *Food, glorious food!*

On each occasion that I have dined at Krystal Restaurant, I noticed that the Chef was on hand to chat to the patrons. Being a foodie, I am always keen to find out more about the menu. On my last visit, the Chef recommended the curry.

I am a huge curry fan and have to say that Krystal Restaurant serves some of the best I have had. Not only was the curry good, but so were all the accoutrements.

The restaurant is also famous for its gourmet French sandwiches on homemade bread, fresh salads, and an impressive selection of seafood dishes. The menu also features a regularly updated Chef’s Choice and elegant desserts that could be mistaken for miniature works of art!

Enjoy an unforgettable experience

Breakfast is a grand affair. The buffet offers a mix of continental and English breakfasts. The breads are freshly-baked, the fruit fresh and the choice of cheeses, cold meats and condiments impressive.

I noticed a mix of clientele – from large party groups to individual businessmen, like myself, all enjoying this restaurant. Despite its grandeur, Krystal Restaurant is a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience that I will gladly visit again.

Krystal Restaurant is open from 07h00 in the morning until 22h00 at night. Breakfast is served from 07h00 until 10h00 and lunch from 12h00. Dinner service generally starts from 18h00.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
