Stopped off here for lunch on our first day in Cape Town. Great location, good food but not cheap. Excellent service from Junior.

On our last evening we had a romantic meal in the marina area. We both had grilled Hake with sides, and nice glasses of white wine. We had a Waterside table with an excellent view of Table Mountain ⛰ The meal was lovely and moderately priced. The service was excellent and our waiter Sylveste very helpful.

We randomly picked this restaurant for a Saturday lunch and it did not disappoint. We got Junior to attend to us - he is really such a polite, young man. I was really impressed with his service.
The view from the restaurant was both the dock and Table Mountain so that was pretty stunning.
I ordered the hake with sweet potato fries, my partner got the grilled calamari with corn on the cob. Both delicious.
I would highly recommend this restaurant.

A fabulous restaurant with impeccable service!!! We had an awesome breakfast served by Sylveste sat beside the V and A docks. The buffet had everything from oysters and champagne to fresh fruits and pastries ❤

So impressed with the quality of the food and the service, we went back again 2 days later. Once again the service from Similo did not disappoint and our breakfasts were to the same very high standards!

Thank you Ginja for employing such lovely personnel who pride themselves in providing such a great experience ❤

In the small coffee shop the super friendly barman prepared us the best iced coffee we ever had! Just perfect on a hot afternoon!
