It has been a while since we visited O'Galitos. Many years ago it was our favourite spoil in Hatfield and we always went back for the elegant oysters and very affordable seafood platter. Unfortunately inflation caught up with all of us and the seafood platter is now more than 15 years later double the price. Our waiter, "big man Brian"... More

We visited them for breakfast. From a distance it looked like a great place to visit, but soon experienced the contrary. The kitchen area not up to standard - evident from poor hygiene and the chef seemed to have very limited training. This was evident from the poor quality food he dished up. The waiters of poor quality and did... More

I can really recommend O Galitos in Woodlands. Upmarket but casual feel with laid back but unobtrusive sophisticated ambiance. I've always been impressed with every dish ordered. The restaurant caters for meat and seafood lovers and have specials chalked on a board that change monthly. I can recommend the sushi, whole fish, prawn espatada and baby chicken. Their creamed spinach... More

We go to O Galitos often. We go reguarly since it is close to home. The food is great and the service very good. We never wait long for our food. Their speciality is seafood, but the ribs and chicken is also excellent. I strongly recommend this restaurant. Good vibe and spacious seating.

I have eaten at this restaurant a few times by now in the past year, and so far it has far exceeded expectations. Good is excellent, staff is very friendly. Restaurant is mainly for sea-food but their meat is also very good. Would definitely recommend.

Had dinner there with friends from Scandinavia and they reckon the steaks were excellent. I thought the queen prawns were real good value for money and were fresh and well prepared with a delicious 3 sauce combo on the side. However, as a starter I had clams - which was a bit of a disappointment - small and little meat.... More

Nothing stood out with the meal I had here. The food seemed bland, the same could be said about the decor and ambience. The service was not good. There is nothing else in Pretoria as far as fine dining seafood is concerned, so unless I want to drive to Pigalle in Joburg, this is the only option.
