South Africa is known for braai and meat particularly. One of the things I longed for but never had the opportunity to during the safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania in 2013 was trying game meats. They just weren't offered at the places we went. There's a few places offering such things in Cape Town - Arnold's, Mama Africa, Karibu, Mama Africa, Gold, Marco's seem to be the names I found online.
I always enjoyed Arnold's, chilled vibe, friendly staff and reasonable prices,the eggs benedict is a favourite, i was abit disappointed when i saw little pepper grinders on the tables instead of their larger than life one
Breakfast institution - consistant and always get what you expect. Great food, great service, and a lovely smoking area. Never dissapoints!
I had the croissant with scrambled eggs and spicey mince, which was perfect. My partner had the banting breakfast, with smoked salmon, which he loved. *4
I have been coming to Arnold’s for their before 7am breakfast special for years. It’s such a bargain - we paid R90 for 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees.
The deal comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, 2 ostrich or pork mini sausages, slice of tomato and 2 slices of toast (either brown or rye). The veggie option (which I had this morning) replaces the meat with mushrooms and fries. The fries used to be sautéed potatoes, so I’m a bit sad that they now give fries instead.
It’s still an amazing breakfast, at a steal of a price, with the friendliest waitrons in town and awesome views of the mountain.
every one is so nice here and there is real value for money!
Love Arnold's!

Food was lovely. Love the concept of an all day breakfast. However, your Mike's breakfast is far less food than the Chef's breakfast and it is priced higher. Makes zero sense.

I have been wanting to try out Arnold’s for a while. Decided to pop in for lunch and see what it was all about. Before coming in I had a look at the menu and was immediately drawn to the fudge Picasso because there are so few places that stock this awesomeness! I planned on having the basket and a slice of wonder afterwards. To my disappointment big items don’t exist on the menu. Update your menu on the app.
Ended up having a Strawberry milkshake which was good with real strawberries, the chocolate one is equally as good.
I opted for the stuffed burger as a main meal. The presentation of the burger is impressive. A few things I would suggest is having honey glazed crispy bacon considering how crisp the bacon is served. The actual meat in the burger needs a bit more seasoning - without the cheese and the jalapeños the patty is bland.
Calamari tentacle special - flour not seasoned so it tastes very one note - missed opportunity to create something unique flavor wise here. Tatar sauce was to thick to be a sauce and could be confused as a mini coleslaw.
I do feel like the place needs a bit of an update decor wise considering the trendy vibes that are happening along Kloof Street
A homegrown brand - Arnold’s is very popular! The locality with table Mountain View brings exclusivity to the place. The ostrich sausages are delicious and juicy and their big breakfast is enough for two. The shirt stack pancakes with golden syrup is to die for! Super fluffy and delicious! I loved their service and the hidden gem is a must visit for anybody going to Cape Town!
African Delight
Not the traditional style of African cuisine, however the contempory twist works. My starter of West Coast muscles was delicious, one of the nicest I have tasted in awhile. The Linefish main to be honest was not that great. A bland piece of perfectly cooked fish is all it is. Dont think I went for the right option and would like to try something else on the menu another time.
We really enjoyed our meal here. It was clean, the music was pleasant and the service was above average. We had an ostrich burger which was well presented and felt healthy and fresh. I'd have it again and the chips were delish.
Great stop early in the morning. Business breakfast with a colleague.
Large coffee is really large and excellent quality. The breakfast options are quite varied, we had the morning special with ostrich sausage and we'll prepared eggs! The little bowl of jam is a nice touch. I will come back and recommend this establishment to friends and family. Good spot on Kloof Street !
Lovely spot for breakfast. Had a light meal: bacon, camembert and spring onion croissant with an iced coffee. Food and Service was good, need to work on the iced coffee. Does get busy, so recommend booking a table.
Amazing place for breakfast and dinner.
The food is really good and the people very nice.
100% recommended
Excellent breakfast! One of the waitresses is super nice, the other one not so much. I'll definitely return despite the unwelcoming waitress.
I love this place. Their food is so delicious, on this day I had their classic burger (I forgot to take a picture of the burger), carrot cake with ice cream for dessert and their strawberry daiquiri was amazing! The space is really nice and aesthetically pleasing I must admit. Definitely worth it!
Went there three nights in a row on my three days in Cape Town. Food was delicious. Nice evening view of Table Mountain and Devil's Peak at the sun was setting.
Great restaurant, with several South African meat types that are really good. Kudu is above all, highly recommend
Kelvin was so kind and accommodating, despite me coming right as they opened
Had the perfect cup of coffee to start my day and a beautiful stack of pancakes
Beautiful, peaceful atmosphere, and would totally come back to try some of their other items
GREAT service
This place is my new go-to spot for a Sunday brekkie. Breakfast is served all day, the food is impeccable and the staff is very friendly. The prices are reasonable and the vibe is great. Will highly recommend this place.
What a nice find. We really enjoyed our dining experience at Arnolds. The food was prepared with care and very tasteful. I will definately return to have the Cesar salad again and again. Special thanks to the manager for the Koelenhof.
