The Bungalow by Kove Collection

The food was good, the service just average, and the view is great—if you manage to get a good seat. We had reserved an outside table but were placed almost inside instead. Even the bill stated our table was “inside.” Some guests were later offered better seats when they became available, but unfortunately we were not. It took ages before our order was taken. The starter arrived within a reasonable time and was very good. However, the main courses were served immediately while we still had our starter plates, which felt rushed. That said, the mains themselves were flawless. In between, we again had to wait far too long to get new drinks—cocktails especially take forever. What I also didn’t find impressive was the bread and butter. It was served carelessly, with a reduced portion of butter that was already completely melted. At this price level, one would expect more attention to detail. Overall, it feels like the focus is more on quantity than quality, with the clear USP being the view. Not sure if I’ll return—probably only if I can guarantee a good seat.

Wonderful seafood and a fantastic dining experience overall. I highly recommend going for the seafood platter — fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. I’ve been here twice on two separate trips to Cape Town, and each visit was thoroughly enjoyable. The outdoor seating is the best spot, especially if you go around sunset the views are absolutely stunning. It’s a fine dining establishment and tends to get busy, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation. A must-visit for great food and great views.

Tourist trap definition: I spent New Year’s Eve with my family, a special occasion, so we booked two months in advance and paid a deposit of over $1,000 for the six of us. When we arrived, we were told that two people who arrived earlier and got a big table: we figured out it was our table. We were then seated at a table next to the restrooms and staff doors, in a large empty room decorated with helium balloons (it was not a birthday), and the table was set up like a child’s birthday party : accessoires thrown on the table. We had to insist for 40 minutes before finally being given a more appropriate table. The menu offered only one dessert option. The food was not exceptional 5/10 especially considering the occasion and the price we paid. Drinks were not included, and the plates were oily… dessert plates were not the same: cheap ones cause not enough for the industrial dinner evening. While most of the staff were very kind, the manager was arrogant. I will not be returning. And never recommend it for anyone.

The mocktail I had was so refreshing and delicious, and the calamari was absolutely top tier. The bathroom is stunning with great lighting. Having read so many reviews about the views, I went in with high expectations, but since we went for dinner there were no views to enjoy, which was a little underwhelming. Still, it’s a beautiful spot overall and I am planning on going during the day to get the full experience.

First time visiting the restaurant and I liked everything about this place, the breathtaking views, excellent service including the atmosphere however I was a little disappointed with their meals. The chicken wasn’t tender and lacked flavour. I hope they do better next time. Overall I had an amazing experience.

Great restaurant near the beach in Clifton to have a cocktail and good food. We were starving after hiking Table Mountain and the portions of crayfish and bbq ribs did not disappoint. We walked in on a weekday at noon right when they opened but it seems like the place really fills up quickly with reservations so book ahead.

Food and views were great. Service could have been better, but I suppose it was during a busy weekend.

Absolutely amazing! The food was great and the staff catered to all my requests. Lovely decor and quite comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Had a great birthday there:)
