I really enjoyed my visit to Africa Cafe, I enjoyed being able to eat as much as I wanted of any given dish,and everything was delicious.I also enjoyed watching the waitresses perform. It doesn't seem to be at all overly touristy, I highly recommend Africa Cafe both to tourists and locals. more

I'm shocked this restaurant is not in the top 10 in Capetown. Our guesthouse recommend it as well as Frommer's South Africa - so we had to check it out, and I am so happy that we did. Although it's a set menu, the dish names are painted onto a ceramic pitcher on your table. You can order any additional... more

This is my favourite African restaurant in Cape Town. I love that you get lots of different things to try and so you don't have to commit to only one large plate of something new. If you like a particular dish they bring more of it, and you just ignore anything you didn't enjoy. The old building in central Cape... more

The food is a set menu. Thirteen items which are brought to you in sequence--once you have tried them all, you can have more of anything, and as much as you want. The dishes are from different African countries and were quite good. Service is good. We found that they had fouled up our reservation (which in the end did... more

After a week of spectacular meals all over the cape, we were completely disappointed by this place. Highly recommended by our B&B and our guide, we thought we could do no wrong. First of all, the menu is set, and I have no problem at all with that, except that it does not change for months... So you know that... more

Nice clean place with very pleasant staff. However, having travelled South Africa for 3 weeks we had eaten nothing but great food all the time. This was not for our European stomacs! If you want to eat something "real" African this is probably the place to go. We would rather go with yet another seafood meal! more

If you like something different and are not a fussy eater this is the place to visit. Decor outstanding. Staff attentive and gave good explaination of each dish, all 10 of them from the set meal decribed on the toucan jug, (see picture) and where it was from etc. We phoned up and booked a table which on the weekend... more

It is the whole package which makes this Restaurant special. What you get is a set menu of up to 16 different african dishes which come in 3-4 batches. Veggies and those with food fads would perhaps be better going elsewhere. The set menu is printed on a toucan shaped ceramic vase on the table! Drinks other than tea/coffee cost... more

It was nothing new to eat with our fingers since that is what we do but the overall experience was great. Some dishes we didn't care for but we get so many choices that it didn't matter. It is certainly worth visiting. more
