Harbour House Restaurant is located in the heart of an old working fishing harbour.Come and experience fine dining as the waves splash up against the windows while you enjoy the freshest seafood and line fish caught from our own boat.Window tables are a must so Reservations are essential!
This is our 5th holiday to SA, and we have eaten at a number of fabulous restaurants over the years. This ranks as one of the poorest dining experiences we have had to date. We booked months in advance and were seated away from the main dining area and felt completely away from it all. There was no atmosphere at all. The menu promised well, my Sushi starter was great, but the Yellowtail main was really disappointing and was set on an oversized bed of garlic mash, with a few green beans and a little rocket, the mash was way too heavy and boring (I felt like I could have knocked the dish up at home). My husband chose a prime cut fillet of beef, it was massively salted and we have absolutely no idea what prime cut this was, the mushroom mousse was tasteless, cannot really comment further. We came away feeling we could prepare better food ourselves. Maybe we chose badly, but we felt this establishment is probably benefiting from its location and past reputation. Sorry to feel so disappointed.

A favourite of locals and tourists, come and enjoy a meal or buy something from the bakery shop
The service and the kindness of the waiters was absolutely perfect.
Helpful, fun, apparently some of them have been working there for over 15 years....which tells they are happy doing what they do and call it a life style.
The food was absolutely delicious and i can highly recommend the oysters and mossels for sea food lovers.
The jazz was at the back where the actual baking happens.
The smell of bread and pastries is present.
You can buy bottles of wine and take them with you whilst seated.
The sound was good.
It was a great great experience !
Bravo Olympia and well done to the promoter.

Have had two breakfasts there in the last six months. Do try the eggs with butternut rosti, the scrambled eggs with various options are also great. The sweet goodies are very tempting, the orange and almond Florentines are a perfect end to the meal with a good cup of coffee. The croissants look delicious. exceptional staff, friendly, efficient and quick!

The Octopus' Garden Restaurant gets its inspiration from the Beatles song. Ringo Starr was inspired by the tendency of Octopi to collect shells & stones to create an environment/ 'Garden' in which they live 'Under the Sea'. A warm, quirky eclectic vibe, with friendly, sassy staff that make you feel like you have just entered someones lounge. A selection of the finest (locally brewed craft beer) gourmet pizzas and a quirky, interesting menu that suits vegetarians, vegans and carnivores. Best grilled chilli poppers in town!!! There is a large beer garden and shaded courtyard with fairy garden, childrens organic jungle gym and treehouse. Dogs are very much welcomed and are even catered to on the menu Octopus garden. We serve many Vegan and Vegetarian meals.
How this restaurant has a rating of 4.5 is beyond me. Very limited menu: only pizza. Didn't have many of the ingredients for the limited menu. Service diabolical or non-existent. Then. The wait. Food took an hour and a half and only appeared when I threatened to leave. Another big table left while I was complaining, they hadn't even been served! Apparently a chef hadn't pitched up but that doesn't explain the limited menu and lack of ingredients. So many good restaurants in Cape Town. Please don't bother with this one. Used to be good and now? No. Just no.

Owner Chef Run Mozambican Seafood Restuarant specializing in Prawns Nacionale. Little restuarantpopular with locals, but tourists love it! Hidden away serendipity. Great decor and intimate
We discovered Carla´s place by accident about 2 weeks ago, without following any recommendations or reviews. Initially I thought I was back in Cuba in the 90th, with simple interior, plastic table cloth and paper napkins. The place filled quickly and Carla herself is an interesting carakter with many stories to share. The food was not cheap, as prawns generally are, but I must say they were the best I ever had. It was a great experience and I am a lover of these quaint authentic places, where pride in their food is taken. We will back, no doudt.

Firstly the wine tasting, well organised, knowledgeable, friendly staff and fabulous wine. The Capensis chardonnay is great, I don't drink much white wine but we visited a second time just for this wine. The setting is beautiful, modern and relaxing.
The bistro -1682 was very good, popular and trendy. We had the chef's choice as we wanted to try something different, all were tasty and well delivered. A good place to visit to enjoy good wine and food in a lovely setting.

During the month we stayed in Kalk Bay my wife and I visited Live Bait a few times and found the staff and food very good.
If you get a table by the Windows it is great for people watching over the harbour. It is always busy in the evenings so we usually got in around 6pm and always got a table.

Bäckerei am Strand von Muizenberg, Nähe Kapstadt
They are open fairly early so a nice spot for first thing. Great service from the staff who immediately told us what was available from the oven and what was not out yet.
Its a local chain of coffee shops but very impressed with the high standard at this branch.
Coffee, eggs Benedict, English breakfast all were well prepared and presented. On a good day the glass doors are open so you get an excellent view of the beach.

Built in 1929 to reflect the spirit of 18th century Venice, Casa Labia is the former Muizenberg residence of Count and Countess Natale Labia. Cucina Labia occupies the ground floor and outside areas of Casa Labia. Many parts of the restaurant have views of False Bay. In keeping with the heritage of the Labia family, our menu is influenced by Italian cuisine. The venue is also used for weddings and other events.
The restaurant cum art gallery is located along the Muizenberg Kalk bay coastal road. The meal, the service and the elegant ambiance is excellent. Be sure to book before going. Make sure that you also visit the art gallery one floor above the restaurant. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cucina Labia.
