Having just arrived in Cape Town we were looking for a quiet dinner yet enjoy some sights. This spot in the V and A waterfront overlooks the marina with the mountain in the background.
Seafood is the speciality and our meals of sole (which in Africa is totally different than Dover sole) and a lobster special where delightful. Service was sincere, but inattentive due to a large party arrival. Wine list interesting and server's advice spot on.
Prices high, probably due to location..

The Baia Restaurant is located in the V&A shopping mall, not easy to find when you parked on the other side of the mall. Very warm welcome. Quite impressed by the size of the restaurant (it's huge). The service was competent, not too slow, not too quick, good wine selection. The seafood was very good, ask for the price of the specials, some of them were very pricey...All in all a very good experience , even if, due to the size, this place lacks a bit of atmosphere.

Our wonderful hosts at Jambo Guest House made reservations for us and amongst all the excitement at the harbor we enjoyed a delicious meal and wine. Sitting by the window is a must!

This is restaurant is definately a cut above the rest. Although predominantly a fish and seafood restaurant the filet mignon that I had was one of the best ever and melted in the mouth. The vegtables were cooked perfectly and the choice of suites made it impossible to resist. The whole meal for two plus wine and tips came to about £70. Would like to go back but we are only here for another 4 days and can't get a reservation. Boooking is essential

From the moment we walked in the aroma of the food won us over. Everything about the restaurant was wonderful and I wanted to go back but unfortunately did not have another extra night on our scheduled tour.
