The decor is minimal, but warm and cosy. Service was mostly attentive but this tapered off somewhat. The cocktail menu is quite original in approach. The presentation and resulting drinks are good too. Food was pretty decent. I would return again for drinks.

Start off the evening with a gin cocktail in the comfy lounge immediately next door (though they are rather too keen to explain every aspect of every cocktail in some detail) and then head through for a relaxed, friendly dining experience. Staff were knowledgeable,efficient and friendly. The deal is you pay a minimum cover charge per head, which gives each of you three tapas dishes and then if you need more you pay for each additional plate. Food was generally excellent - the ostrich and lamb were highlights - though the fish dishes weren't quite as good as the others. Some innovative combinations of flavours and textures and a nice twist of South African ingredients with Spanish style. Good wine selection and a really nice atmosphere.

Casual Cafe dining.

Our visit to Velo Cafe left a very sour taste in my mouth. We were there for Saturday morning brunch and almost nothing worked out.When our drinks arrived (coffee and hot chocolate) they were lukewarm. How? How do you bring lukewarm drinks to customers?Then when the breakfast arrived the mushrooms were cold, the poached eggs tasted like vinegar and the meal was generally unappetising. As we were sitting outside there was a whif of urine in the air that was hard to ignore.When the bill arrived there was a tip already included. Now for a table of 6 this is understandable... but there were four of us. When we enquired about this we were told that the waiters don't get a basic salary and so for all bills of R200 or more a tip is automatically included in the bill. I couldn't believe it! Surely an hourly rate should be standard in line with Labour Laws and secondly this is something that should be communicated to patrons in advance.Not cool Velo Cafe, not cool.

I used to go to Foundry but they changed the food menu.Itâs still a nice pub with great atmosphere, good choice of beers and drinks but unfortunately they changed the food menu. While before was a great place for a dinner (I still remember the lamb shank + ostrich fillet), it now serves more tapas e finger food dishes with a relatively small option of main courses.

A group of us were attracted by the live jazz and we were not disappointed. It was exceptional, with the 3 young, talented musicians enthralling us for a few hours. We will definitely be back for more. The service needs some improvement, because we kept having to call the manager to order. Different waitrons served us as well, so we were not quite sure who our dedicated waitron was. The atmosphere is great and our party of 8 were just about the last to leave before they closed. The food was good and tasty. We will definitely be back for more!

The hotel is not in greatest part of town so taxis are recommended to get about. The hotel was a great price and very central near many of the tourist attractions. The owner is very helpful and was full of good advice. The room was in good to fair condition but reflects the price. The restaurant is great and thoroughly recommended.
