Review Richard's Bistro - Western Cape

Love the Amsterdammers, taste like Hertzoggies, but better! The rugby is also on. Somewhat expensive on bakery & cured meats by 30% compared to similar delicatessens. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly busy staff, great selections - a perfect well established local.

You know the best part of feasting late at night just before loadshedding is Giovanni's. This is the best part..... When I went to pay, there were two till ladles giggling with such an effectuous giggle that I had to start laughing with them. I asked what it was about, but they said it was to long to explain. Understanding that I said, "Don't you know that I am being picked up by my friend right now, and he is going to ask why I am crying with laughter?" My reason would reply, "I don't actually know! ". This was the best giggle I had in a long time. Not only is the food excellent and service fantastic, but it is your second home. 10,0000/10 🌟 ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIOVANNI'S 👌🏼 .....# I still don't know what the giggles were about 🤔🤣

Always busy, always open, best coffee, eats, best everything! The reason why they ate always busy and packed with happy cusomers. Best take-away chocolate cake

Quick, healthy, and tasty! They have every cuisine and best is you choose your bread, meat, cheese, spread, and veggies and they make your sandwich. So much more than just a delicatessen!

It's my ultimate go-to place for exceptional coffee and delightful breakfast. Despite the constant hustle and bustle, the staff's efficiency stands out. I've come to rely on it for all my meals and desserts, and their coffee, food, and treats are undeniably fantastic. This place is truly a gem in Cape Town, and it never disappoints.

This local spot served as my family’s daily go-to grocery store while living in Cape Town. The coffee was great, but it’s the local flavor and vibe that really won us over. It’s clearly a staple for many and we think of this place often as synonymous with our South Africa experience.

I have known this place for 31 years, living 2 meters away and always go there for ready meals and delicious snacks. My favourite was cheese blinzers, now no longer in stock. But the coffee and food. OMG you must go to believe.

This is one of my favorite places in CT. The bar section is great to have a coffee and watch everything that is happening here (which is a lot). You can just pick whatever you want from the deli section and they make a sandwich out of it for you. And also the premade food is just really good. I came here on a daily basis when I was staying in Green Point.

So many locals kept mentioning Giovanni’s as a must, so I finally went to stop by the deli to get a to-go sandwich. And WOOWWW the hype is valid and well deserved. I was blown away with the choices, the freshness of everything, and how amazing the sandwich I ordered was. I loved being able to customize it and grab a few sides too.

I've been there three weekends in a row, and I think that somes it up perfectly. Incredible food and ready-made meals. Also, their house blend of coffee is insanely good, and they come in pod versions as well

3. Nice apartment. Tiny and outdated tv's. Seems like these expensive places are underwhelming. Everytime I go to, prestigous, highly costly apartments, it is disappointing. Check in process is ridiculous. Check in staff are not great at all. The guy that brought us to the apartment was good though. Hence the three stars. The cleaning staff could do with training as well. Client interaction is lacking

This is such a great place. In the winter, their fresh soups really hit the spot. They have a full deli of readymade food you can either take with you or eat there. My fave part is I can pick out a type of bread and give it to deli staff and pick out everything I want to put inside my sandwich. They import a lot of stuff here, when they have strawberry poptarts or goldfish crackers I take full advantage. This was the first place I saw sliced brie at. That forever changed me.

Giovannis is an absolute gem. Only the freshest food is served at a great price point. They carry a wide range of cheeses and deli meats as well as imported pantry staples. Definitely worth a visit. 10/10 would recommend.

Loved loved loved it! Bought a lot of goodies to bring home. To much to choose from!

Cappuccino is fantastic. A Cape Town institution for good coffee and delicious baked goods. My favourite barista is Mehmet. Cappuccino with a chocolate powder on top is certainly a good start to the day. I recommend their salmon and cream cheese bagel with gherkins. Lovely deli with a various imported items from across the world.

I love Giovanni’s. Fresh food and the best service in town. Always leave with way more than I need but I never regret it! Delicious!

Small but well stocked Italian Deli. Just be careful you may buy more than you plan and still be happy. Best quality products and friendly assistance

Not much can be said. Giovanni's is a must Sea Point stop over for ALL. Young. Old. Newbies or Repeats. It is noticed that prices are rising way above the norm. The $, £ and € are staggeringly increasing relative to the R , but is this establishment catering to tourists at the expense of locals? Service friendliness at checkout leaves a lot to be desired.
