About GOGOS Waterfront Restaurant
GOGOS Waterfront Restaurant sits at Racecourse Marina in Windsor, with indoor seating and an outdoor tent by the river alongside marina and racecourse views. The kitchen builds its menu around signature espetadas, alongside fresh fish such as sea bass and salmon, mint lamb, and a braai meat platter. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are clearly marked, giving the South African-inflected menu options beyond meat and fish. A breakfast menu runs through the day, covering full English style plates, eggs, and avocado and salmon on toast. Desserts include a brownie with pistachio ice cream and malva pudding. The restaurant takes walk-ins and opens daily. Parking on site is plentiful and free, and dogs are welcome throughout.

Customer Review Summary
The braai meat platter draws the most praise, described as generous and juicy on one visit, though another diner found it tasted reheated and only the chips stood out. Close behind, the sea bass and ribs earn repeated mentions, with one reviewer noting the ribs were the most chosen dish at their table and portions huge enough for big appetites. Breakfast also gets consistent approval across multiple visits, with vegan options singled out as delicious and clearly marked. The marina and racecourse views come up again and again, especially from the outdoor tent seating, though one diner found the indoor area quiet and lacking ambience in colder weather. Service is mostly called attentive and friendly, but one visit involved an hour-long wait during a busy period with short staffing, where a smaller-than-usual calamari portion prompted only a small discount as an apology. A couple of reviewers also mention insects near the water and uncomfortable chairs.

“Really disappointed with the food - we shared the braai platter but it tasted like food that had been cooked, cooled and then reheated. The Superfood salad was ok, but they don’t keep balsamic vinegar which is strange. The only thing good about the food was the chips. The view is nice, chairs are pretty uncomfortable.”

“Fantastic birthday treat for my husband last night. The waitress was attentive, polite and friendly. The food was hot, fresh and tasty and the ambience in the restaurant was a lovely chilled out vibe. It was our first visit after our friends recommended it and we can't wait to come back! Thank you!”

“We visited for breakfast for the third time this morning and the food and service is always consistently good. It's a very attractive restaurant with lovely views over the marina. I really appreciate that there are clearly marked vegan options on the menu and even better, they are bloody delicious!”

“Beautiful place, lovely food. Went for breakfast and there were lots of options, though mainly your stereotypical breakfast options: full english style, forms of egg, avocado and salmon on toast. What they sell is delicious though. And I would thoroughly recommend their smoothies Also the view is absolutely incredible and there’s a little cat you might meet in the marina”

“Although we were informed that food would take longer than usual, an hours wait is not really acceptable. They were short staffed as they had a big group of people, either get more staff or keep the restaurant closed for others. I go here quite often, but was thoroughly disappointed this time, food portion was also less compared to other times I have been here. They give more calamari than this, on pointing it out they took of 25pc off the cost of Calamari (£2) as a good will gesture 🙄🙄🙄. I mean 1 hr wait and food served with unreasonable portions, think they could have done better as way of apologize”

“GOGOS is set in the grounds of the beautiful Racecourse Marina, we over look the marina and also have views of the racecourse . The sunsets, even in the middle of winter, are spectacular. We offer seating in the restaurant, a quirky bar with an open fire place, In the Summer we have an upper deck boasting spectacular views, an undercover stretch tent and open sunshine tables. We are an independent restaurant serving a variety of meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan dishes with a South African twist. Our food is cooked from fresh, our signature espetadas are extremely popular, as are our fresh fish options. We also offer an exciting breakfast menu. We’re open throughout the day. Parking is ample and free We look forward to seeing you”
