With an Uber-Cool New Home, Spectacular Views, Fabulicious New Fare and Happy Hour Monday To Friday
The Slick Restaurant Group, owners of Gibson’s, Belthazar and Balducci, continue their culinary crusade for excitement, innovation and excellence at the V&A Waterfront, with the re-launch of Gibson’s in a prime Waterfront location: a spacious super-cool new home with indoor and alfresco dining a few doors down from sister restaurant Belthazar.
The popular Gibson’s, offering “the best burgers and ribs ever”, “fries to die for”, “wonderful steaks and the best chicken you can hope for”, “sinfully awesome shakes”, “the friendliest service ever” and “excellent value for money”, according to Gibson’s fans on TripAdvisor, has mega-exciting new things on the go.
PERFECT NEW LOCATION: Previously situated inside the Victoria Wharf and running endless queues due to limited seating for only 60 patrons, Gibson’s can now seat 70 indoors – in a stylish modern setting created by award-winning designer, Adam Court (ex Stefan Antoni) – and 110 outside on the terrace enjoying full views of the harbour and Table Mountain. During the winter of 2016, the terrace is being renovated and converted into an all-weather dining enclosure.
NEW ADDITIONS TO THE FAMILY: Gibson’s has also whipped up some fabulicious new fare to-die-for:
- The Beirut Beef and Vegetarian Burgers (served with homemade hommos and tahini)
- Chicken Satay Roll (fresh chicken marinated in Gibson’s homemade satay sauce, grilled and served on a freshly baked roll
- Luxury Philly Steak Roll (28-day-matured grainfed fillet with cheddar cheese, bacon and lashings of Gibson’s secret no 6 sauce on a freshly baked roll
- Fried Fish and Chips – Battered hake served with thick cut fries
- Spatchcock – Half chicken marinated in bar-b-que basting and served with thick cut fries or baked potato
- T- Bone – 400g 28-day-matured grainfed T-Bone served with thick cut fries or baked potato
- Beef Kebabs – Tender cuts of rump and sirloin, grilled with peppadews and onion on a skewer and served with thick cut fries
- And their crazy offering of 40 decadently-divine Gourmet Shakes has risen to an unbeatable 57 handspun, double thick shakes, with yummy new flavours like Malva & Custard, Apple Pie & Cream, Kit Kat and Gingerbread Man to name a few.
HAPPY HOUR MONDAY TO FRIDAY 4 – 6PM: Looking for an ultra-chilled venue to unwind after work or a day on campus, then Gibson’s, home to Happy Hour every single weekday, is the place to be. So gather the crew and enjoy 50% off Gibson’s great line-up of beers – traditional, draught and craft beers – and exotic cocktails, while chilling at the cool 12m bar, or outside on the terrace. Sip on the brew, soak up the view and check out the talent, and, with Gibson’s unbeatable line-up of burgers, it’s very likely Happy Hour could turn into a whole evening.

MORE ON GIBSON’S
GIBSON’S BURGERS: A few years ago, the Slick Restaurant Group, owners of the award-winning Belthazar and Balducci Restaurants, embarked on a quest to create the ‘Best Burger’, visiting the top burger joints in Chicago, New York and Las Vegas, and working with their Master Butcher at Belthazar. The result was ‘The Ultimate Burger’, proudly showcased at Gibson’s Gourmet Burgers & Ribs at the V&A Waterfront.
Made from grainfed beef, these juicy 200g burgers are firstly flame-grilled to perfection with lashings of their best-kept-secret basting, and then lovingly placed on a fresh, homebaked, lightly-toasted sesame-seed bun, crowned with shredded lettuce, sun-ripened tomatoes, caramelised onions, Collette’s famous deli-pickled cucumber and, finally, drizzled with their No 6 Creamy Sauce. All this deliciousness is served with a choice of thick-cut fries (potato, sweet potato or half-and-half), and spiced-up with a sprinkling of their addictive seasoning salt.
Gourmet Beef Burgers: Choose from a wide selection of thirteen Gourmet Burgers, including a Salad Burger and a Banting Burger. According to renowned Weekend Argus food columnist, Bianca Coleman, these are “Freakin’ Awesome Burgers”.
Chicken Burgers: There is a choice of five delectable options.
Vegetarian Burgers: Choices include a Giant Mushroom Burger and an Eastern Burger in addition to the new Beirut Vegetarian Burger.
