Cafè Paradiso

Visited on a Sunday for lunch with friends. Our orders were taken quickly — starters, mains, and drinks all sorted early, which I'd recommend if you're dining with family. The food was great and nicely plated — we had squid, pizza, and pasta, and everything was tasty. You can tell the kitchen knows what it's doing. Service was a bit hit-and-miss. Our waiter seemed distracted, and we had to get his attention for follow-up drink orders. The restaurant itself is cosy, even on a cool day, thanks to two fireplaces. I imagine the patio would be a fantastic spot in summer, with beautiful mountain views — perfect for breakfast or an evening meal. Despite the service hiccup, it’s a lovely spot and definitely worth trying if you’re in the area.

Stunning restaurant located in a busy street. Beautiful seating area on the outside however it was u fortunately extremely windy which ruined the experience a bit. I’d recommend having some blankets on hand to offer the guests. The mixed platter starter was a bit spare and had way too much rocket. The pasta tasted great but it was topped with too much rocket as well. I’d return to try other meals.

On a beautiful sunny day, you can't beat the atmosphere or view of Table Mountain. I'm not sure if I was just high on seeing my friend after more than a year or drinking some red wine, but the chicken burger was delicious.

Cafe paradiso serves all day, from breakfast to dinner, service was friendly but the kitchen was slow. The toast bread was almost burned but the rest, eggs n avocado, was fine, the cheesecake was delicious. The garden area is very beautiful but has indoor too. Recommend it!

Such an amazing spot for summer lunch or drinks. Beautiful gardens, great views, lovely vibe. And dog friendly too. I hadn’t been in years so some of the negative reviews worried me a bit, but I was not disappointed. Admittedly we didn’t eat so can only comment on the coffee/drinks, but nevertheless it was lovely and the experience was perfect.

Great place. Very peaceful and nice. Specially the outside area. Menu is nicely balanced and good choices. Slightly on the pricy side but only a little. Nothing major. But definitely a place to go to!

I had the most lovely experience at Cafè Paradiso this past weekend. I ordered a coffee and an omelette, both were delicious & the service was great. I enjoyed sitting in the warm winter sun and experiencing Cape Town at its finest.

Beautiful spot, tranquil and inviting with gorgeous Mountain View’s. Food was delicious as expected but what stood out most was the efficient and amazing service which is hard to find in Cape Town. My food came so quickly and the waiter and host was so on it. Definitely recommend.
