The Chargrill Restaurant at The Gibraltar Casino

The Chargrill is the restaurant inside the Gibraltar Casino at Ocean Village, scoring 4.1 on Tripadvisor from 61 reviews. The listing has no Google page of its own, so those numbers are Tripadvisor's alone and the Index stands at 4.10 on that basis. The reviews were re-read on 6 September 2026; the newest written review dates from June 2019, so this is a picture of the place as it was, not as it is.

Value is the thing reviewers keep coming back to. The 2-for-1 deal on mains (the cheapest meal free) runs most nights, and buying two glasses of house wine gets you the rest of the bottle, which one diner totted up as two fillet steaks and a bottle of red for under £30. Others put two courses and a couple of drinks each at under £40, or a 2-for-1 dinner with starters, sirloins and vodkas at £50 for two, and one regular called it probably the best value in Gibraltar.

The menu is a broad chargrill one: fillet and sirloin steaks, a mixed grill, surf and turf, secreto, a pork fillet in cream sauce praised as huge, provoleta (delicious, though pricey for the portion), pork ribs, pulled-pork potato skins, sea bass, fish and chips and a Sunday-style roast one reviewer rated the best on the Rock. Portions are generous, the air conditioning is strong, there is seating inside and out, and the room is tucked away enough to be quiet. Staff are described as efficient, friendly and attentive, with a server called Colette thanked by name.

The recurring problem is the one a chargrill cannot afford: steak doneness. One reviewer ordered medium-rare and got it barely cooked, then ordered medium on a return visit and got it well done and tough; another asked for medium and got medium-well; a third found fillet for two chewy and nothing like fillet, and the manager would not leave his own dinner to hear the complaint. Two 2016 visits also found service slow on a near-empty Saturday, one fish and chips was greasy and yellow, and bags have to be left at the casino front desk.

Come for a cheap, generous steak dinner on the 2-for-1 deal in a quiet, air-conditioned room at Ocean Village, and be precise about how you want your steak cooked. Go knowing the newest reviews are from 2019. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here; this write-up is drawn from the reviews.
