Good to Know Before You Order
- Gateway prices, not a national list. All prices above come from Adega’s official Gateway branch menu (Gateway Menu A3 PDF, uploaded December 2025) and may vary by branch. Always confirm at your local Adega before ordering.
- No desserts on the Gateway menu. The Gateway food menu lists no desserts at all — the only dessert-adjacent item is the kids Dessert (Ice cream & chocolate sauce) at R45. No Malva Pudding, Hot Chocolate Decadence, Chocolate Brownie, Crème Brûlée or Ice Cream & Chocolate Sauce main-menu dessert is listed on the Gateway PDF, so none are included here.
- No beverages on the Gateway food menu. The Gateway food menu carries no drinks. The only priced drinks in this guide are the Norwood mocktails above (all R45), which belong to Norwood, not Gateway. Adega Lounge cocktails are listed without prices and have no downloadable menu, so no cocktail prices are given here.
- Halaal is branch-level, not chain-wide. The Gateway and Norwood branches are labelled Halaal on Adega’s official site (Find a Store) and their menus carry the halal emblem. Lenasia and Cedar Square carry no such label, so branch-level status differs — verify per branch. Adega as a whole is not described here as halal-certified.
- No sushi, no breakfast, no espetadas, no promos. The current Gateway menu has no sushi section, no breakfast section (listings show the restaurant opening at 12:00), no espetadas, and no promotions or specials.
- Lobster is priced by weight. Lobster Thermidor and Grilled Lobster are marked SQ (by weight / price on request) on the official menu — no fixed price is given for them here.
- Portuguese Style Steak has no separate price. It is any of the listed cuts, grilled to your liking, served with Portuguese sauce and topped with an egg — the price is the cut price.
- One figure deliberately omitted. An earlier extraction showed a starter “Stuffed Calamari R129” figure, but the visually confirmed PDF reading could not resolve it — the confirmed calamari figures are starter Calamari R99, Grilled Calamari R195 and Stuffed Calamari R199. The R129 figure is omitted rather than guessed.
- No store count beyond the official branches. Adega’s official Find a Store page lists 4 branches (Norwood, Lenasia, Gateway, Cedar Square). No restaurant trading hours are published on the official site; only head-office hours (Monday–Friday 08:00–17:00) are given.
