Lovely classic eatery with a solid history behind it. Visited for dinner and we ordered the seafood risotto, gnocchi for mains and fried squid for starters.
Really enjoyed the food, especially the main dishes which were full of distinct flavour and equally delicious. Also loved the rustic interior.
I have been to Cafe Paradiso a number of times over the years, and especially during the time that we took my young son to the restaurant. It provides suitable spacing for families with young kids, and has a stunning exterior as it does the interior. In summer (or even sunny winter days), the view of Table Mountain as a backdrop is superb. There is a light bustle around the area as it is near the top of Kloof Street, but still it has a nice ambience to it, almost rustic. The foot was really good, slightly overpriced (but what isnt these days), but the quality and freshness were exquisite.
I highly recommend it, especially for an early lunch, or midday brunch for that familiar Cape Town Sunday early morning timeouts.
Super fantastic food in a fabulous atmosphere.
One of our fav. restaurants in Cape Town eben during load shed!
Awesome food, great service, and the pizza baking for the kids in the kitchen is such a simply yet fantastic way to keep the kids occupied.
Had a lovely time at this beautiful restaurant. The weather was amazing so it made for the perfect outdoor dining, chilling and drinking experience. Service was a bit slow but the staff were amazing. Linda helped us for the most part and was really efficient, kind and friendly. Melissa, the Manager was also really great, so friendly and really really nice. She also helped us where needed and was extremely attentive to our needs. The food was delicious too. Everything was really great. Perfect for indoor or outdoor dining.
I try to go here every time when I visit Cape Town, which is about once every two years. Always delicious, always very professional staff, always an enormous treat! Not cheap but not unreasonable. Definitely recommended. Try their pastas and their pear and gorgonzola salad. Also excellent crème brule.
Eclectic and pleasant. Was a little bit of a heavy atmosphere for me. Some will love it, some not so much. Still worth a visit though. Definitely has personality.
Out of this world. If you have not been there then you have not eaten in Cape Town. Buttermilk chicken burger best so far I tasted. Service atmosphere venue great place to be. Went there on the 12th Feb at 1pm 5 of us for lunch. We enjoyed so much only left a 6pm. My wife and I went again the next day 13th to have the sushi crunch and Cajun calamari salad for dinner. Surprisingly we going to have our Valentine’s Day also there. So you see we are hook at Cafe Paradiso. Go there now you wasting time. Make reservations because they are always full.
What an experience with Table mountain right by the entrance. This little gem is certainly one for the books. I can count on my one hand the amount of places I have been to where the atmosphere and the food is something to write stories about. First I was sceptical walking up the stairs after reading reviews but this is a place where the wait is worth it. I had the 300g steak and it was like a symphony in my mouth the combination of bone marrow and black mushrooms make every bite a fantasy. Well done to the chef you have made my day.
We went here for breakfast and ordered French toast with bacon and strawberries and omelet with mushrooms.
I must say this is one of the best French toasts I've had. It had the right amount of sweetness. Strawberries were so fresh.
Omelette was not the best but definitely above average.
The ambiance is very pretty and clean.
I recommend this place.
