Life Grand Cafe boasts a stunning location with views that are hard to beat. However, the restaurant's culinary offerings sometimes fall short of its breathtaking surroundings. While the menu is ambitious, guests might find that the execution of some dishes lacks consistency. The presentation is usually spot on, but flavors don't always live up to the visual promise, and the prices can feel steep for the quality received. Service, while generally pleasant, can occasionally be inattentive, especially during peak hours. The cafe's decor and ambiance are its strongest points, offering a reprieve from the bustling city life. In summary, Life Grand Cafe is worth a visit for the views and atmosphere, but there's room for improvement in the realms of gastronomy and service. Especially when it comes to wines. There is a wide range of options, however tasting is not offered when ordering per bottle. This can be tricky when the vast majority of options are only offered by the bottle.
Lovely, innovative sushi that was fresh and delicious. Was a bit disappointed with my dessert - mango pavlova - it was soggy and didn't look appetizing at all (deconstructed and soggy).
Lovely setting and good service.
It was beautiful at Life Grand Cafe and the meal was absolutely amazing. I had the T-bone and some white wine on my first trail. It was so amazing that I had to get some more when I was in the axis again. And the customer service was stellar, this is regardless of the crowd they always attend to. Someone tries to make a table available at every minute and you get your order in prompt. You could choice to dine in the restaurant or in any extensions around the reception.
A lovely experience, and if you sit on top you get to enjoy beautiful views of the harbour. Food was delicious and not too expensive, I ordered the chicken platter which was not entirely what I expected but not in a bad way, the lavash was not lavash but the bread was tasty. The livers was super rich and tasty, and the chit Ken drummettes is a showstopper.
Not an everyday restaurant, but slightly cheaper than other up market restaurants but still delivers the something more special than mainstream feel.
Large variety of food and beverages. Good quality and value.
The place is always very busy, we had to book a table a day prior to insure we got in.
But it is loud, very loud.
This is a very busy place on Saturday night. The service did their best considering the amount of people. It was very-very loud inside and hard to hear each other.
Food was good. We ordered tuna and salmon poke, as well as root vegetables salad. All was very fresh and tasted good.
Stunning view at the pier’s edge .
The chilli bacon pasta is one of my favourite dishes . Great sushi and other seafood dishes too. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Perfect for a night out !
Other than obnoxiously loud music and very slow service it was great. The food was good with a decent variety to choose from, curry, seafood, steaks and even sushi. Our table tried all of the items and there were no complaints. Everyone was happy with the quanity and quality of the food. The outside seating is very nice.
It exceeded my expectation. The lamb shank was amazing as well as the chicken. The waiter who served us really went far and beyond.
Amazing place for brunch with nice breeze from the sea if you’re seated outside. Great service from the waiters.
