Fun!!! Colorful, crowded, classic bar food. I got the vegetable platter which was giant and not just the stereotypical healthy vegetables, also had onion rings, fries all sorts of stuff. The milkshake was good too. Also got a salad, although wasn’t a fan of the taco shell bowl they put the salad in to be honest… nevertheless, still a great place.
Great spot for a drink and/or meal. Service is super-friendly and engaging taking a minute to really connect. We shared a Greek salad then had a filet and ribeye. Both steaks were perfect medium rare. The joint is very LGBT friendly and the decor reflects that in a very fun way. Convivial times at the bar too of that’s what you’re looking for.
Lovely place we came across. Super friendly staff all around. Cool outdoor dining even in a light rain. Great for people watching. The place is large enough without feeling huge to host a bar with tv, dining area and outdoor seating. Menu is mainly pub grub with burgers, pastas, and salads. We enjoyed salads, burger and the very large roasted vegetables platter. This platter is for sharing. Extensive drink menu. Recommend and would return.
I had the beef bobotie spring rolls with a chutney dipping sauce and salsa. The beef was fabulous as well as the chutney. My husband ordered the ostrich, but they misunderstood and brought him a steak. Even though my husband insisted that it was fine, they made up for the mistake with a free drink. The steak was so-so, but the mushroom sauce was delicious. Our server, James, was exceptionally nice and visited with us for a few minutes.
Great place to have dinner and drinks. Staff was professional but personable .Food: 4/5
Stopped in for a quick drink with friends and definitely loved the vibe and the cool space.
Not a bad place and enjoy going there. It can be extremely cramped, especially in the evenings and weekends. Their bathrooms need some work though, it’s not very clean same every time we have been there.Food: 4/5
Sadly I am struggling on this review - whilst the place has a great vibe, friendly staff , good food our last visit left a sour taste in my mouth. Found that on my bill I had been over charged for two drinks .. 6 drinks for 4 people .. highlighted the issue and they removed - happy with that .. however my friend then looked at their receipt from the previous round and the same had happened on that round .. highlighted to the barman who then got defensive and said we had had 6 drinks - clearly this was not the case with a group of four .. I then seemed to be surrounded by 4 staff members - all becoming involved in the situation ??? However - nothing was refunded and after a while I gave up highlighting the issue - we had the last round and left .. So just check your receipts everyone ….
Rolled up here solo pretty late in the evening for some drinks. Was my first queer spot in the city and I had a great time. Despite being alone, folks were extremely friendly and chatty and I felt very welcomed. In fact, the security guy was in particular verrryyyyy friendly/flirty which made for a very interesting experience. Def recommend as a spot to start off your queer night in The Mother City.
Wow! I have had two consecutive dinners at Cafe Manhattan, and they were both outstanding. The Southern Fried Chicken is delicious and the frozen margaritas were excellent. The staff was friendly and inviting. This is such a lovely venue and I hope to return many more times when I visit Cape Town.
