An awesome spot for cocktails, munchies and catch up sessions with your friends. The vibe is hip and laid back. Friendly hosts and I love the fact that the munchie portions are nice and huge, creates a lovely lining for large alcohol consumptions.
A must visit when in Cape Town, day or night .. long streets gem!!
Great food, vibe, music and cocktails.. I can no longer visit Cape Town with popping into Buena Vista .. a favorite !!
Very few places are able to combine authentic culture, food and ambiance to their establishment, Buena Vista in the CBD has done just that. As you walk in you are greater with good service and the scenery is amazing, feel like you in a Cuban restaurant. The food is great, my go to meal is the Pollo (chicken) Nachos, or the jalapeños with feta.. summer evening in the court yard is a must, one of Cape Town's finest..
Really great service. Great tasting and fresh ingredients. Love the vibe as well. Will definitely recommend it and come back. Would Love to try the rest of their menu
I was really impressed by this place. I've been passing it on Long Street for a while and today I finally decided to pop in.
I love Cuban restaurants, and this could easily be one of my top 5.
The atmosphere is amazing, their drinks are served beautifully and the staff are friendly. We had wings and chili poppers - a recommendation from my friend, and it was AMAZING! The dip that cane with it was barbecue with crushed chilies that left you wanting more. Definitely visiting again.
Had a friends birthday dinner at Buena Vista Social Cafe a few weeks back. The service was a little on the slow side but the delicious food certainly made up for it 😆
The staff are very friendly and the menu has a great variety and is well priced.
Caipirinha were fantastic, no food this time... But will try next time! Decor and detail was amazing, waiters and staff very good, love the sidewalk tables...
What a great way to end off a long and dreary week- with a great vibe, mouth-watering food and amazing service! Buena Vista is truly a MUST DO in cape town 💛
My hubby Mark Coetzee treated me to a chilled little date night at Buena Vista as he was told that they make really good chilli poppers and I am a HUGE fan.
We shared a portion of chilli poppers , which then turned into two portions , a plate of nachos and their Burger Del Toro. It was all really tasty and the waiter serving us was really good and not one of those who hang around and ask too many times if you are ok .
I liked the candle lit vibe but the music was a bit loud for our liking as we couldn't really hear one another. But all in all, it was a good food experience and we definitely left with our belly's over full .
Good place for after work drinks and tapas. The rest of the menu is standard tex mex and not really as authentic as they'd like you to be believe. They're a tad bit overpriced for a franchise.
