Gordon's in Umhlanga is steeped in the tradition of good food. There are no imitations and no short cuts to creating the dishes that are appreciated by locals as well as visitors, because at Gordon's there is only the best of traditional South African steakhouse fare.

Contemplate fresh chicken and prawn combos served with chips and fresh vegetable side dishes accompanied by Gordon's trio of sauces; lemon butter, garlic butter and a hint of peri peri. Their Eisbein is cooked to mouth-watering perfection and the salads are crisp and tasty, enhanced by Gordon's secret salad dressings.

There is a selection of steaks, seafood and chicken dishes with some enticing combos. Our waiter described the specials so well were all salivating before he finished his list.
