This little cafe, has a big reputation, one of the most recommended places in the area. I was staying 10/15 mins from here at the Backpackers – another review following for this place. A lovely walk down the beach.
You can see a working harbour whilst enjoying your lunch and beyond the restaurant there is even a small beach which is nice and quiet.
There is large menu and large area for seating, there is good range of food from burgers to salads and fresh seafood. It is all moderately priced as well.
I ordered Hake and Rice – beautifully seasoned and grilled of course. Highly recommended – lovely setting and amazing food.
There are stingrays in this harbour, so keep your eyes out if you are in the area. There are a beaches beyond the harbour as well. It is a lovely area to spend an few hours relaxing.
Cafe Caprice is the place to be on a Sunday night in Cape Town… however I wanted to experience it during the day.
Location: Camps Bay.
Two menus given upon arrival one for drinks one for food, both the same length can you believe. The drinks are many, from a range of cocktails special and exciting to the standard Havana Mojito, to Beers and wines.
It is a light restaurant, with a good atmosphere, sports on a screen or two and modern music. There is outside seating but much easier to see whats going on from inside, this view was perfect.
I am not going to lie the service was a little underwhelming here. I watched staff standing around, I watched them chatting to friends as other guest attempting to find a seat outside by themselves – now don’t get me wrong I enjoy catching up and chatting to friends, I have been a culprit of this very action however I have generally spotted a customer and ended my conversation with a, ” I have to work, see you later”. Not quite sure what was going on here, they were nice enough to me, when I was being served that is. The manager was omnipresent, ensuring myself and other guests were being looked after in general.
I ordered calamari with rice and a salad… turns out what I had actually ordered was calamari and a salad.. think the waitress might have been trying to tell me something? Not a problem regardless. The greek salad was well balanced with feta, olives, cucumber and leaves.
The calamari I had grilled, It came with a delicious sauce and had been well seasoned. I enjoy the meal. Towards the end of the calamari it was a bit cold and tough but that could have been the fan right above my head. It was around R40 for the beer and then R70 for the meal.
The beer was cold and the food was good. It would give this place another chance totally, of course I would. I enjoyed the atmosphere and being able to come right off the beach into a good well priced restaurant. There are so many down this stretch of road that are busy or crowded or just mediocre. But I would come back here every day of the week.
