🇵🇹❤️🇫🇷 TWO CULTURES. ONE PASSION. GREAT FOOD.
At Vamilia, we believe that great food brings people together — and that supporting fellow local businesses makes our beautiful Gordon’s Bay community even stronger.
Today, we’d love to introduce you to our friends just up the road at Restaurant Isabelle! 🇫🇷🍷
Led by Executive Chef Dominic Carosin, Isabelle brings the elegance and artistry of classical French cuisine to Gordon’s Bay, offering a wonderful fine-dining experience with beautifully crafted dishes and thoughtfully paired w**es.
From traditional French culinary techniques to sophisticated multi-course dining, Isabelle offers something special for those looking to celebrate an occasion, enjoy a romantic evening, or simply discover another world of flavour.
❤️ What makes it even more special?
Much like Vamilia, Isabelle has a story rooted in family, tradition and a genuine love of cooking. The restaurant was inspired by Chef Dominic’s grandmother, Isa, and the wonderful French meals she prepared.
At Vamilia, we celebrate our Portuguese heritage. At Isabelle, they celebrate the French culinary tradition.
Different kitchens, different flavours — but the same passion for hospitality and creating memorable experiences.
France, right here in Gordon’s Bay! 🇫🇷
We encourage our wonderful Vamilia family to show Restaurant Isabelle some love, follow their page, and consider supporting them on your next special night out.

🇿🇦🇵🇹 HERITAGE DAY AT VAMILIA — DIFFERENT CULTURES. ONE AMAZING TABLE. ❤️
Tomorrow we celebrate something that makes South Africa truly special — our incredible mix of cultures, traditions, food, music, stories and people.
At Vamilia, we’re incredibly proud of our Portuguese heritage and the flavours we bring to the South African table. From flame-grilled chicken and peri-peri to prawns, Trinchado, Rissoles, Espetada and all the homemade sauces that come out of our kitchen — this is food rooted in tradition, family and sharing. 🇵🇹🔥
But Heritage Day is bigger than any one culture.
It’s about celebrating all of us. 🇿🇦
Zulu. Xhosa. Afrikaans. English. Portuguese. Indian. Cape Malay. Sotho. Tswana. Venda. Ndebele. Tsonga — and every other beautiful culture that makes South Africa what it is.
So tomorrow, come celebrate with us at Vamilia.
🎉 HERITAGE DAY CHALLENGE:
Arrive dressed in your traditional or heritage-inspired attire and we’ll welcome you with a complimentary shot on us. 🥃❤️
18+ only. For non-drinkers, drivers and younger guests, we’ll gladly make it a non-alcoholic welcome instead.
Bring the family. Bring your friends. Wear your colours. Share a table. Eat well. Laugh loudly. Celebrate where you come from.

🍭❤️ WE HAVE A WINNER! ❤️🍭
Our Sweetest Vamilia Give-Away has officially found its new home… and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. 🥰
A massive CONGRATULATIONS to beautiful young Zara! 🎉🍬
Zara and her wonderful family have become regular supporters of Vamilia, and seeing that enormous smile when she collected her hamper made this whole competition worthwhile. ❤️
And Zara has already given something back to us too…
She created her very own piece of artwork for the restaurant — complete with a Portuguese rooster and a big “Portugal! Vamilia ❤️” — and that little masterpiece means more to us than she probably realises. 🇵🇹🐓
This is what Vamilia was always meant to be about.
Not simply tables, food and transactions.
It’s about families, friendships, children laughing, people coming back, memories being made and a community growing around us.
Thank you to everyone who entered, everyone who shared the competition, everyone who came through for a meal, and especially to the generous person who donated this incredible hamper in the first place. 🙏
And Zara…
Enjoy every single sweet! 😂🍭🍫
Something tells us that hamper may not last very long!
From all of us at Vamilia — congratulations, superstar. ❤️

🇵🇹 TAKE TUESDAY OFF COOKING. WE’VE GOT YOU. 🔥
Close the laptop. Leave the pots in the cupboard. Bring your favourite people to Vamilia and let Chef Tony take care of supper. ❤️
Think flame-grilled Portuguese chicken covered in our homemade sauces. Prawns finished in lemon butter. Tender beef fillet Trinchado in our signature sauce that takes around four hours to prepare.
Add hand-cut chips or Uncle Tony’s Rice, pour something cold, and settle in. 🤤
Date night. Family supper. Catch-up with friends.
Whatever your Tuesday looks like, make it a little more Portuguese. 🇵🇹
Good food. A warm welcome. And someone else doing the dishes. 😉
