    Very nice lunch spot

    We had just arrived in Cape Town and needed somewhere to eat. Our hotel recommended Manna Epicure and it hit the spot for what we needed - quick and good, not fast food but not a long, sit-down lunch. Breakfast is served all day and...More

    Always better than excellent

    Manna is an eatery that never fails to disappoint - and never not lived up to the above. There are less than a handful of restaurants anywhere that fall into this category, Manna without question being one of them. One visits (in our case invariably...More

    Our two wives had the calamari salad at R95 that they said was "nice", and I had the mushroom pasta that was a small portion with average taste for R95. The other order was a massively over-priced fish 'n chips at R120..............really!? Just because it's...More

    Understated Excellence

    I dined for the first time at Manna on July 17th and was delighted with the experience. The occasion was a get-together with a very old friend. The place is a quiet, understated restaurant with a very fine reputation, well-earned in my opinion. The service...More

    Pay R7 for water

    Service was great. Had a meal I had, had before. This time around, there was no truffle sauce. It came with Mushroom sauce and apparently some truffle oil. Couldn't taste nor smell it. The ultimate was having to pay R7 for a glass of water....More

    Delightful Place for Breakfast
