Decent cuppacino albeit slightly overpriced
the pasta was great. The servers (especially Ms. Langa) were very polite and even let us order a meal close to closing time. the manager, Ms. Spiri, was very welcoming and sweet.
My mom and I have frequented this spot for years and they're always consistent. Always great food and good service. Would highly recommend their Thai chicken sandwich 🥪! 😍
Had beef lasagne and I've never had pasta that's so nicely cooked in a loooong time, our waiter was so friendly, definitely coming again end of this month!
I was not expecting much from this place after reading the reviews on Zomato HOWEVER I must admit I was really impressed with this establishment 😱 Stopped by for lunch with the parents and from the service to the food, everything was on point. The restaurant is divided by a walkway just opposite the lower entertainment area and it has a nice spot under the elevators. The menu is extensive with daily specials. We opted for one of these specials - the roast lamb. We also had the salmon fishcakes and the butternut soup. Everyone was very happy with their meals. The portions are big but half the plate is just salad. I loved the skinny fries which accompanied the crispy fishcakes. For desserts, there’s a range of cakes and gelato however we didn’t have tummy space this time. We will be back 😊
Fantastic chicken livers with a Greek salad... The cafe latte is a good blend to complete a really good dinner... The staff are polite and friendly attending promptly to reasonable requests...
I love magnifico from food to service. Normally go with something breakfasty and sit "outside" under the wooden creation they've built in the mall
I was drawn to this place after spotting the lovely cakes/pastries and ice-creams on offer. We decided to treat ourselves to (gelato) ice-creams after lunch. I opted for the chocolate brownie flavor in a sugar cone. Now I'm not a sweet tooth at all, but this super sweet chocolate ice-cream with its huge chunks of brownie was too heavenly to resist! The rest of the family opted for mint chocolate, strawberry sorbet and stracciatella and were happy with their choices too. Staff are so friendly here and quick to help. Also so convenient having this place situated in the Centre of Canal Walk. You literally just walk past, pay and then be on your merry way to continue with shopping.
Sundays are meant to end with cake and coffee. First time ever at Magnifico and it was just below average. My chocolate cake was dry at the bottom and so so sweet on top the entire top section went to waste ! I wasn't overly happy/excited being here and the service lacked a great deal (I guess because we were ONLY eating cake), doubtful i will be back.

Running around doing errands this morning so mall food it is. Today I'm having breakfast at Magnifico which is quite a statement to be making before one even sits down. I've never stopped here before so I'm interested to see what they can deliver on.
First impressions this place is way too cluttered. There are lots of elements that speak for themselves and a cluttered table just doesn't add value. I had 9 bits of advertising on my table before I even received the menu. I think less is more and especially here as it would up the taste level. The bold mosaics and geometric laser cut steal speaks for itself. The menu is extensive, maybe too long in my opinion. I don't think one can truly deliver on each and every dish 100% of time is there are that maybe elements to master.
My cappuccino was okay. I'm sad that some espresso grinds ended up in my coffee. The micro foam was good but the coffee a bit burnt, coffee shouldn't be that hot. A bit of tweaking of the machine and it could be great.
Food wise I ordered a smoked chicken croissant and I'm hoping it's fresh considering I'm one of the first people here. Nothing sucks worse than a stale pastry. The food arrived very quickly and the pastry was indeed fresh and tasty. I really like the idea of the deep fried leek chips - cool ... just a bit oily but the first time I've seen this. Actually very tasty lighter alternative to the standard potato chips on the side.
Overall the portion size was great I definitely didn't leave hungry and the service was quick and the staff friendly.
Absolutely love this place. Amazing breakfast & brunch options, on the go or to chill and catch up with friends. I had an eggs benedict on a toasted English muffin with bacon, mushrooms and hollandaise sauce and I must say, their hollandaise sauce is truly one of the best Ive had. The eggs were perfect, soft as requested and the hollandaise sauce was rich and creamy, didnt split after a few minutes as Ive experienced at many other places. The English muffin was toasted, steamy and fresh.
Service is second to non. There is always a waiter ready or nearby to fulfill your request. There is also a smoking section for those who smoke, so no need to take a half mile journey outside the mall to light one up.
I paired my breakfast with an Amarula coffee, I shouldve requested a double but the coffee was great nontheless.

We only buy our ice cream at Magnifico only because the food they sell is not strictly halaal. The ice cream is amazing though and that’s all that we come for. They have various interesting flavours to chose from. My husband enjoys the lemon flavour and I love anything with chocolate. The staff are eager and friendly. 👌
It was a very good experience, the staff is very friendly and the cappuccino is good. The cappuccino's stronger than some of the other coffee shops I've tried, so I'm very happy with that. There is also no shortage of choices whether it's pastries, cakes or even ice cream.
I had quite an impressive New York style cheesecake slice here. Please go try it. Great coffee as well. Its a very warm little coffee shop in the centre of the mall. Great to just chill and people watch.
My favorite thing to do on weekends, after shopping up a storm, is parking my trolley and relaxing at the tables between the escalators. If, like me, you like people-watching - this is the place to be. The team, every one of them, are extremely friendly and attentive. The caramel baked cheesecake is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before! I love it so much, I ordered an entire one for my birthday a few years ago! The tremmazinis are flavorful and fresh. A portion of four, big triangles that I usually can’t finish on my own and have now begun sharing with my sister. The fries are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle and are tossed in a yummy spice. The hot dogs are also a treat! Almost everything I’ve tried here is of high quality. The pricing, though high, is easy to digest knowing you’ve had a really great meal. Worth every penny.
Located in the food court area of Canal Walk this bistro does not disappoint. Breakfast is served all day which is perfect for brunch.
The food is delicious and the prices are moderate. Their desserts are definitely worth the visit.
Have never not enjoyed a visit here.
Last visit, food was good although burger could have been a bit bigger. Chips were delicious. Server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable on the menu.
Goes without saying, but will definitely visit again.
Had a lovely early dinner with my parents; the beef burger was great.
Personnel are always excellent and kind. The food is always good. Smoke area. Gelato is top tier. Probably my favourite place for breakfast / brunch / lunch.
I can't begin to explain how amazing the food and drinks at this place are. The prices for the food are also quite reasonable. They also have a wide variety of cakes and gourmet ice-cream available. The service was also great and the food didn't take long. I would definitely go back.
