Best rastaurant and best food I have ever had anywhere in the world! Small, cosy place but don't let it fool you! Staff are so polite and knowledgeable about the food! Manna Epicure have smashed it!
Impeccable service, outstanding food, beautiful decor. Have always loved this restaurant - it's one that I keep going back to time and again as the great level of everything is a constant. Noteworthy things: their amazing coconut bread, their delicious green juice and their wonderful manager, Tatenda.
A small restaurant on the popular and busy (especially in tourist season) Kloof street. Subdued decor, good acoustics and comfortable seating make for a pleasant and relaxing experience. The service is on par with much more highly rated establishments - our waiter never missed a beat and was unexpectedly professional. There is a wide selection of meals to suit every taste including vegetarians. Everything is delicious, expertly prepared and plated by the chef. The wine selection covers every possible preference with some good blends that won't break the bank, though be warned the single varietals are some of the highest rated (and expensive) local labels. Corkage is allowed.
I had the lamb shank off the specials board and it was the heartiest meal I've ever had. Highly recommended.
Literally can’t fault anything I’ve had from Manna. Went for a group lunch and everyone enjoyed it. Friendly staff and good food. Recommended
Incredible food as well as service...
My eggs were poached to perfection and the coconut bread is a must have!
I love the decor of this cafe, it has a Parisian feel to it and the dishes were beautifully plated whilst the service was exceptional...worth a try
Incredible service with amazing, genuine people. Tatenda went out of his way to accommodate me with kind actions, even though i didn't eat... Will be back definitely for food!
Delicious brunch spot in Gardens. Ordered the cook up with poached eggs, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, tomato and pecan nut and raisin rye which is delicious. They also offer a coconut bread on top of all the other breads to have with your breakie. Delicious fresh juices and yummy cakes. Always a good breakfast at Manna Epicure.

Great quality food. We went here for breakfast, and it was delicious. Also if you get there between 8 and 9 am, the breakfasts are half-price! Excellent value! I had eggs Florentine, which was basically an Eggs Benedict, but served on a croissant with trout/salmon, and it was so tasty. I also tasted their coconut breakfast, which was 2 eggs done your way served with trout/salmon, avo and coconut bread. The coconut bread was way too sweet for my liking, it tasted more like a dessert, but I guess some people might like the sweet and savory contrast. The avo that was served didn't look very appetizing (it was just starting to get black), but I personally didn't mind that because sometimes freshly cut avo's look like that. Also tried the fruit platter, which was a great snack to have before the 'real' breakfasts, although it was a bit too small and lacking in variety (maybe 4-5 small pieces/slices of fruit). Their freshly made juices are great ! I love that they not too stingy with the amount of ginger they add (if you choose it), as it gives a real kick. Will definitely be back here again for breakfast, and maybe even try out their lunch/dinner menu soon.
This is an amazing spot. So good on the eye! The plating of the food is beautiful, I didn’t even want to touch my food because it looked too beautiful. The food itself was equally impressive. Service was good. Definitely a place to check out
Cute little breakfast spot in the heart of Cape Town. I had the french toast croissant and it’s was amazing. I was expecting it to be quite sweet but it was the perfect balance of savory and sweet. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a quick coffee and bite to eat! The staff are great and please do yourself a favor and order a slice of their coconut bread!
I came here for the weekly early dinner special! We had the 2 course option which was filling and delicious! I had the roast chicken breast with veg for mains, it was fabulously plated, the chicken was tender and the sauce was delicious! Others had the beef schnitzel and battered hake and chips! Everyone enjoyed their mains and were satisfied! For dessert I had the ice-cream (chocolate and vanilla) which was perfect as the evening was hot! I loved the ice cream and tasted the baked cheesecake and creme brûlée and they were amazing! Tatenda was a great host and our waiter was super nice and attentive!
Wow! Great service and great food! The waiter was excellent looked after us very well and the manager, Tatenda was very friendly and welcoming. Had an awesome evening here and would recommend going there for a good tasty dinner !
I always come back here for the eggs benedict. I just love them and they are so delicious!
I added avo as an extra.
And to drink I had a freshly pressed orange juice and a cappuccino.
Can‘t go wrong with that one either!
Really great restaurant. Been there two days in a row
Probably the best food we had in South Africa

This was a trip down memory lane as my last visit was about 4 years ago. In not sure if the restaurant has new owners, but it seems to have lost some of its vibe and luster. It was virtually empty when I arrived at 8, with only three tables occupied in the whole restaurant.
The door leading into the restaurant was stuck and the open sign on it was a badly hand written one.
The food was good, and portion size was OK.
This is one of our favourite Cape Town restaurants. Beautifully decorated and spacious, attentive staff and lovely food ... what more could you ask? Just don't order the potato skins before your meal - they are completely delicious and will fill you up before you start! I usually order the mussels and they never disappoint. The dessert menu is small but delicious ... difficult to choose between the creme brulee and the chocolate fondant- order both and share them! Not perhaps the cheapest of CT restaurants, but excellent value for what they offer.
One of the best restaurants we had dinner at while in cape town! The service was outstanding. The food was amazing from starter to dessert. All vegetarian (but there are meat/ fish options available). We will be back!
Met some work friends for dinner. The restaurant wasn't busy, but it was Tuesday evening before payday.
The waitress was attentive and friendly. She recommended the spare ribs as being very tasty and fall off the bone tender. She was spot on. The beers were ice cold. The coffee was decent. Our party of 4 had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
This venue is suitable for romantic dinners with your other half.
We love this little gem of a restaurant so much. We have been going to Manna Epicure for breakfast for years and they just keep getting better. The space is tastefully decorated and the food is tasty.
The staff are the best in all of CT in my opinion. Attentive, welcoming and friendly. In the past 6 years we have not had a single bad experience. Highly recommend!
A group of friends & I decided on this place in Burnside Road, Tamboerskloof for a get together.
What a great venue, love the interior & it's totally on point, well done.
We placed our orders and were blown away by the presentation, quality & taste.
If you're looking for that special place to share with great friends, look no further this is it.
To the management & staff, thank you for a great experience.
Kind regards

We just happened to see this place passing by. Oh my hat! What a time we had. Great food, coffee and service. Especially loved the MCC served by the glass 😁. We are planning to make a turn real soon again.
First time at Manna Epicure but certainly not the last! Delicious Salmon Eggs Benny with a cappuccino. Lovely way to start the day and a great deal at 50% off the breakfast menu before 9am each day. Highly recommend this cosy, inviting spot in upper Kloof Street.
