Cape to Cuba

Great atmosphere. Decor makes you feel like you are in Cuba. Excellent position right next to the railway line and unobstructed sea views. There were a few vegan options, although I wasn't completely confident that the food was vegan and not simply vegetarian. I had a butternut burger. The bun was glazed, so that was a concern. The food was ok, but to me it tasted a little on the fast food side." I can't comment on the non-vegan meals that others in outlr party ate. I was invited as part of a birthday group. I would not likely go again in a hurry unless I could be sure that the vegan options are definitely vegan and also the food would need to feel less like fast food. The staff were very nice and friendly."

It's one of my fav places to visit when I am capetown.The bathrooms are clean,they're seldom packed, and the service is amazing.I love the atmosphere, too,with the Cuban music playing sofly in the background, and sometimes they have live bands playing.They also have polo fleece blankets on those very cold nights.I ate the eisbein from the menu,nachos and jalapeño popper. The food is flavourful and prepared with care.Give it a try...I dare you:)

Fabulous Place, friendly staff - however, the seafood was disappointing (although fresh): slightly lacking in flavor. The Ribs were perfect - full flavor, tender etc. Overall great experience though. Worth a visit.

One of the places on my wife's bucket list. Food was good, abit on the pricey side for the locals, good overall vibes, service was extremely slow, waiters were spinning, waited 45mins after asking for the bill on 2 separate occasions. Need to get their house in order on that front.

Really unique and cool atmosphere! Very friendly service from the waiters. I did find the prices too high, especially the seafood pasta for close to R250. Other than that, the experience was not too bad.

A Kalkbay landmark venue with excellent views of the harbor and False bay. Cuban atmosphere and a stunning newly renovated outdoor section/bar, smoking allowed/cigars on sale.

Property had beautiful art and details all over the place, sand floor bar was very unique! It wasn't very clean although I think that may have gone with the rustic feel intentionally. Drinks were okay but the view really sold it!

The food recipes are over rated. Chicken soup tasted like mayonnaise, but that's the recipe taste. Babaganush is bland. Hugely expensive, under impressive food. Beautiful view of Kalk Bay Harbour and train.

Truly great atmosphere! I've never been to Cuba, but it definitely felt like some of the older dive bars I've been to in southern Florida, and I mean that in the best possible way. The ribs were very good, but the muscles were simply wonderful. I've never had them served on the half-shell, and I'm afraid this has me spoiled now. Nice selection of Cuban cigars in their humidor as well.
