Everyone that knows me, knows I always order burgers and fries at any place. I wasn't really impressed. The burger looked great but it was okay, the prices aren't exactly cheap and the service wasnt exactly quick. It's always busy and it's hard getting a table for a big group.
I've been going here as long as I remember. The service is always great, the menu is big and offers a variety of food, and they have a great selection of desserts and ice cream. The Florentines and red velvet cupcakes are out of this world. The tramezzinis are amazing and the food is always good.
I first went to La Playa and had a very disappointing experience. However, I have to give the management team credit. When I notified them of the experience we were given a complimentary meal which was exceptional. The staff were really friendly and the calamari really was delicious.
Had a really lovely lunch here today. I had the Alfredo Pasta, which was a really huge portion and tasted really good. There was a slight delay in the kitchen, which we were notified about and were given complimentary coffee for (we probably waited about 20 minutes).
I also tried the panko prawns, which were amazing. Overall service and food were good!
We often walk past and stop and drool over their cake selection. This time we stopped for a sneaky cake, coffee and hot chocolate with the kids.
The rainbow cake was a huge hit with them (every layer has a different flavour) and the chocolate cake was heated and literally melted in your mouth.
The coffee was also quite enjoyable so we'll definitely be back.
I had a wonderful experience at La Playa Cafe! They have the most delicious desserts and the scenery is beautiful. It's quite peaceful in the week too, after 8pm. I would definately go again!
Nice little place for a quick cuppa and a yummy slice of cake. It gets more complicated when you order food from the menu. The service is ok and a bit slow...but hey this is Slaapstjad! I recommend the Chocolochino cause its chocolate and coffee (how right can that be!!) and try the brownies! They stock Limnos cakes so you definitely won't be disappointed!
Visited this outlet early on my brother's recommendation. The place was full since it was a Saturday night. Waited an hour to be seated. Once seated the staff was attentive, friendly and food arrived within a reasonable time. Had a platter for 2. Generous and delicious portions. I was impressed. Would definitely return. Kitchen is halal but they do serve alcohol.

Hubby and I popped by for a quick lunch! The venue is lovely with beautiful views of the ocean. We ordered a pasta and a cheese burger. The pasta was amazing and so delicious but the burger was awful- old bun, no cheese and completely over priced!
We will return for the pasta only!
La Playa has a good menu and good food. Sometimes service is slow, but on the whole I've been happy with their choice of waitrons.
However, they need to do some revamping to keep the restaurant looking presentable - it used to look a lot classier than it does now.
My friends and I were at the V&A waterfront looking for a spot to chill. Decided to go to La Parada, we loved the venue, service, and atmosphere.
The food was excellent. It was my first time trying pork belly 😋 the cheesecake was a baked cheesecake, but it was amazing, I'm just not sure if that portion is worth R150.
Will definitely be back. I definitely recommend it.
Went there on a very busy night, the service was good. The bao buns with beef fillet were delicious, would definitely go back for them. Didn’t really enjoy the grilled boerewors (bit overcooked) and truffle potato skins were too oily for me. Nice view at night and l liked the candle lighting on each table.
An unexpected place on our first day in town, super great choice of cocktails and good tapas served in generous portions. Our server Sunny (Sanele) was the best, friendly and efficient. You can't go wrong entering there!
I had a very wonderful experience here! The service was absolutely delightful. Definitely a good place to come and unwind after a long week. Thank you to Portia and the rest of the team for constantly checking in on me!
The food 10/10 as well.
The views are another plus.
Definitely will be returning.
We experienced La Parada in two different ways on the same day. One was at a luncheon for women where we were served some truly delicious meals ranging from steak to giant salads and chicken sandwiches.
The other way was during the evening where it turned into a pseudo nightclub environment for networking. The light refreshments were divine and somewhat eclectic in nature.
Once it gets packed, there’s very little room for maneuvering but it was exciting and fun nonetheless.
La Parada was excellent. We had several different cocktails and small plates. Edith, our waitress, was absolutely lovely and very attentive. She helped make our dinner experience great.
Beautiful location inside & outside. We felt very comfortable. The service of Allanah was really very nice! There is a large selection of wine. The burgers were delicious and tasty. From the restaurant you have a great view of the Tafelberg. We would love to come back.
My husband and I enjoyed the most delicious meals. I had the pulled beef pasta, and he had a steak salad. The food was absolutely amazing, but the service, unfortunately, was very slow and lackluster.
What a lovely all-round experience! The service was great, the food was so good that I probably ordered way too much for a solo diner. Blame it on the inviting lively atmosphere as well. Perfect for groups, couples and those who savour the experience of solo dining!
It was so good, I was there three times during my short stay in Cape Town. Be back soon, La Parada! 🤎
This a a favourite at the V&A Waterfront. Always great food,
Excellent service with a vibrant, hip and classy vibe. I keep coming back - love it!
