Mano is the perfect host and the food is excellent. I had the deboned chicken drizzled with olive oil and chilli and I've never had chicken that tender and tasted that good. Mandy our waitress was attentive and always at hand when we needed anything more to eat or drink. Highly recommend for a great and festive atmosphere with the best food. Dave Gauteng
Best view ever to have a great meal watching passersby. Prawns to die for, Portuguese Steak Roll - best ever ever. Excellent wine list. Plush dining with a touch of informality that I love. Waitrons super on the ball! 6 stars!!!!
One of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life. The onions and tomato based sauce made it 5 star. Special thanks to kitchen staff who cut and peeled the potatoes to perfection. And of course Rigan who offered sterling service. Love how the menu was so minimalist so that attention to detail can be paid to each dish. Will be back on a weekly basis.
Mano’s is great for lunch or dinner and provides a great menu offering. my personal favorite is the steak offering. The service is always warm and friendly and the restaurant provides a quality upmarket meal and venue at a reasonable price 😎
Went here with my grandparents, ordered the dijon mustard chicken schnitzel. Was superb, very tasty and not overdone or dry. Atmosphere is cool, perhaps a little dark but good. Service was good, look forward to visiting again.
The food was amazing here Mediterranean prawn curry was exceptional , the pork ribs , this needs to be requested as it's not on the menu these were succulent and juicy the sauce on the ribs completed the dish , simple and delicious. The chicken Deboned also on request was on point and really good. The chocolate brownie was soft and and moist with just the right amount of ice cream to cover the balance and with every bite.
With its lovely location right on the main strip of Cape Town this trendy restaurant sets the scene for a great lunch or dinner while feeling you are part of the street atmosphere bustling around you. The wine list is good and the food is even better. Having been around for years this goes to prove that good service and good food goes a long way in terms of establishing a solid reputation that never disappoints. Mano’s offers some beautiful Chardonnay wines and their fillet is delicious.
I'll come any day of the week and never be disappointed (perhaps only on Sunday because they close).
As a regular I've eaten most of the menu and am yet to find something that isn't tasty. Some of my favorites are the pork spare ribs, which I hear they go at lengths to prepare, the baby chicken grilled over the fire is always extremely juicy and tender and the Mozambique prawn curry must definitely be tried. Oh and if you like chicken livers you're in luck.
Manos it's been many years and I have no doubt that there will be many more!!!!
I eat here a lot, mostly on Fridays, it gets quite vibey then. I recommend going at rush hour lunch time while there are people there, not the best place to go if it's quiet. Foods divine, waiters are really cool. Great lunch spot
I liked that Manos is open till 1:30am. Food was great, but a tad expensive. Great Friday lunch time vibe. Service was good. Calamari was excellent.
We enjoyed our meal at Manos. It's got a great vibe and Mano is a fabulous host, very busy walking around checking on everyone. The menu is a bit random, serving everything from spaghetti bolognaise to prawn curry to steak bernaise, but I quite like how it's got many different tastes to suit different appetites. My prawn curry was delicious, my partners chicken limone was bland. The chocolate brownie for dessert was decent but could've been more chocolatey and fudgey. Good wine list with many options by the glass rounded off a great evening out.
Was treated to dinner here last week, they have a very small menu, which I like as it makes it easier to pick a meal but may not work so well for large groups. I had the Mozambique style prawn curry which I loved - it was rich, creamy with a nice kick (just little more than mild) - the portion size was generous which made it quite decent value for money. The restaurant is small and the space is reminiscent of a gallery but it had a nice relaxed ambiance for a Friday night with good service despite there being only 2 or 3 waitresses.
Well established restaurant with a warm atmosphere in the heart of Greenpoint.
Good authentic, great tasting food with attentive service.
Outside seating available, also bar seating.
Great food. Always served piping hot!
Superb service by the team. Always relaxed and
A favourite restaurant of ours due to the service, choice of food / quality and good portion sizes.
This restaurant is a first choice when coming to Cape Town.
For the last 7 years we’ve had excellent service and mouth watering food each and every time.
Waiters are professional and the manager also jumps in when the place is pumping to ensure it remains a 5 star restaurant.
Would recommend hands down to anyone visiting Cape Town, it is worth driving 30+ minutes for the top class experience.
Jade and Bella were superb hosts to a truly incredible dining experience. This place is always busy and rightly so. The class and proactivity of the Manager is part of the reason why this venue cannot be missed! Needless to say the food was delicious!
The food was delicious and good service.
A very popular restaurant in Greenpoint. It is a trendy place and the food is world class. I love the baby chicken. We tried the creme brûlée and also was 10/10.
Amazing service and atmosphere. The place was very crowded so reservation is recommended.
The menu is simple but every order was on point. My fav was chicken preggo roll.
Even the side dishes are very good
Wow! Honestly I’ve been coming to Mano’s for years and I love the food! In my opinion the best food in Capetown! Brings me to my roots from the food I grew up with! My favourite dish has to be the prego! Literally every time it blows my mind! The best prego in Capetown! Authentic! I recommend this spot till the day I pass on!! - Flávio

Our hotel was very close so we thought we'd give Mano's a try for a bit of lunch, and were very happy we did. The food, drink and the service was A1. Kelly the owner even put herself out of her way to come and welcome us and had a little chat, lovely friendly lady for sure.
We thought it was that good we went back the following night. As we turned up, Kerry welcomed us again and also remembered my girlfriend's name and mine, which we both thought was amazing. Over the 2 meals which included amazing salads, piri piri chicken livers, tempura prawns, lamb chops, bbq chicken kebabs, spaghetti bolognese, black tiger prawns and lovely hot chilli sauce.
All the food we ate was absolutely awesome and would definitely visit again when back in town. The 2nd time we visited, the restaurant became very full, very quickly, so I'd highly recommend booking a table, we saw multiple groups being sent away.
Brilliant food and great hospitality puts Mano's very high up on my Cape Town restaurant list, maybe top!
What a great experience. The service was friendly and relaxed. The pasta salmone was one of the best I had, amazing - as your pasta cools down the salmon sauce thickens slightly with help of the shaven Parmesan. A good wine companion for me for this dish was the Paul Clover Sauvignon Blanc. Love the good and energy.
