About Good Gilbert

Goodwood Road’s neighborhood fixture pairs serious cellar depth with casual bistro energy. Right next to the Capri Cinema, regulars claim stools inside the dog-welcoming dining room—where pups get house treats and wall portraits—or linger at curbside tables. Bartenders navigate an expansive cellar list alongside a thoughtful zero-proof selection. On the counter: tuna crudo cut with chili and caramelized orange, followed by beef tartare bound with black garlic aioli and cured yolk. Thursdays bring visiting winemakers through the floor, matching local drops to share plates of harissa cauliflower and crisp-shallot lamb rump.

  • Cellar Depth & Winemaker Nights: An expansive cellar list alongside Thursday dinners hosted by visiting regional winemakers.
  • Inventive Share Plates: Produce-driven share plates spanning tuna crudo with caramelized orange to black garlic beef tartare.
  • Dog Hospitality: Dogs are welcomed inside and out with complimentary treats and snaps on a dedicated Polaroid wall.

  • Pre-Film Dining at the Capri

    Positioned immediately beside the historic Capri Cinema, the venue turns tables smoothly for patrons catching a film over swift drinks and fried brussels sprouts.

    had 75min before a 6pm film at the Capri. We scored an outside table in the sun and were soon enjoying drinks, then 3 share plates

  • Post-Show Wine Stop

    Located adjacent to the art deco cinema, it serves as the natural meeting point for somm-level wine guidance and post-screening nightcaps.

    You are next to one of the best theatres in town, the Capri, so before or after the cinema it is an excellent choice.

    We were looked after so well by all the staff, who went above and beyond not just for us but for our dog too (featuring treats!).

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, seating arrangements, and dietary accommodations

  • Capri Cinema Screening Pacing

    If coordinating a visit around a film next door at the Capri Cinema, allow around 75 minutes to comfortably enjoy drinks and share plates before showtime.

  • Seating Away From the Open Kitchen

    Tables closest to the open kitchen catch clatter and ambient preparation sounds during service; choose outdoor tables or bar stools if you prefer lower noise levels.

  • Ordering with Dietary Restrictions

    The kitchen accommodates coeliac, dairy-free, peanut allergy, and vegetarian diners, with a thoughtful non-alcoholic list available for non-drinkers.
