Perfect for events, small family dinners, a special date night. Good Value for money especially considering the top quality food. The staff are professional,well trained, efficient and friendly. Seelan overlooks the Waterfront Harbour and is simply perfect for brunch, lunch until sunset and stars. You really feel special when you dine here. It has outdoor seating and indoor seating as well as a beautiful bar. They have televisions inside which often play sport or important events. Seelan as a venue for events, is a wise choice. They cater well and set up everything to your liking. Sometimes there is a live band or dj present, playing music. You'll make such fond memories here!
We got vouchers to the place and it was literally hidden away. A level below the Balthazar at the Harbour mouth. The waiter was extremely friendly who could easily name the 6 dishes and 3 deserts for us which was available. We both chose the beef fillet which was lovely, add to that the mushroom and pepper sauces we received was a damn fine ways better than any other place we have eaten at. The chips were good, the onion rings i believed was killed by the cook. I dont ever remember eating crispy onion rings. Further than that I would love to try one of their seafood dishes. A single platter at R700 and double at R1200. I would be curious and would love to see if they match the price on taste and presentation.
The seafood platter was really well cooked however it was a bit bland. I feel they could have added more flavour to the fish as well. The portion however was somewhat decent but I feel they could have given a bit more. The presentation was poor and there was no effort put in. As for the dessert the brownie and cheescake were really good as for the malva pudding it was really bad and i do believe the texture of the malva pudding was not great at all. The staff did not do any check ups and one thing i will make mention of is as soon as the waitress brought the bill the first thing she brought up was her tip which was unprofessional. For overall experience i give it a 2 but for the location i will give it an extra stat because it is vibey and you always given a wonderful view
A relaxed atmosphere coupled with an amazing dining experience is what awaits you at Seelan Bistro & Bar. Our waiter Ashley was very accommodating, warm and welcoming. The hostess, noticing we were on a date, asked if we wanted to be moved somewhere more quiet. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you Seelan.
Terrible service, average food but great location. Seelan is conveniently located in the Waterfront, surrounded by the beautiful views of Cape Town. The location makes the restaurant super overpriced. Service is terrible, waiters are very poorly trained and service is extremely slow. Food is average, nothing outstanding in the menu. The food doesn't seem nor taste fresh. The drinks are good. What really saves this place is the amazing set up in the waterfront.
………8th Apr 2018: -….This remains one of the most superb-lii located restaurants at the edge of the bay/quay/harbour at the V & A Waterfront, Cape Town. Where you can sit tranquil-lii especial-lii on a Sunday morning when this sometimes chaotic and vibrant place is quieted down and enjoy the terrific views of all the different types and shapes of big and small seafaring vessels anchored here, even watching them launch out to sea some for pleasure trips entertaining locals and foreigners alike! That’s besides the most amazing-lii awesome views of the One and Only New Seventh Wonder of the world “Table-Mountain” standing there in all its splendour! Even the Big Wheel is in full view right from the outside seating it’s just so breath-taking-lii surreal! You are never disappointed when you arrive here where the table settings are always very elegant with white table-cloths a small vase of fresh-lii cut petit miniature live flowers the napkins on the side-plates are of a superior quality-ii even embossed with the name “Seelan” on it! They have a good few matured male staff members who seem well suited in the work that they are cut out to perform as true gentlemen always pleasant explaining the menu in detail so you know beforehand exact-lii what you are getting! Our waiter was Pappa Joe and he was very competent! There Gourmet breakfasts are nothing out of the extra-ordinarii but you just know that it’s a good clean fresh-lii prepared delicious meal you will through-lii enjoy! They do also have some different meals on offer for breakfast like the Primi-Vera egg custard which they serve with a tomato & rocket salad but when you’re ravenous there’s no time to experiment! Hehehe! Maybe next time! The restaurant is very big inside with a full bar with seating right there! On Thursday nights they have a Jazz-Nite from 18:00 to 22:00! They are also very concerned for their patrons that might have one to many so they vivid-lii advertise for a Drive-You-Home service “Nite-Owls” the App to call them is available as a download! Very thought-full! They also have their Meal-Deals available through Wiki-Deals which is very affordable! This is a must visit restaurant! Always a Monies-Worth experience ……………………..NB! The kitchen here is full-ii “HALAAL”!! Just found this out today!....10 out of 10………………….... .What a Magnificently Situated Restaurant! Along side Table- Bay, where there is a cornucopia of splendid sights to take in while you sit back and Enjoy one of there Many Gourmet Meals. Our Favorite is to do the Sunday Morning Laid-back Breakfast! The Meals are scrumptiousl-ii made up of Scrambled eggs, Dhania sausage in a nice sting-ii sulsa, Grilled Mushrooms and tomatoes served with a nice cake-ii Bread. It is Awesome to set and watch the Boats and Ships coming and going which gives one a Trulii International Feeling about the place. If you choose to sit outside which is the best on a love-lii Summers morning You can enjoy the Full View of The Gorgeous Table Mountain standing right there in all its Splendour saying One of the New Wonders of the World! The staff are very helpful and friendly at all time as this was not our first visit here and sure-lii not our last..........Food is always good, clean and delicious!!!!!......
We used a hyperli voucher which got us a main and a dessert. The food was decent, nothing much to speak of. Prawns are always subpar smallest prawns I’ve seen. Dessert was amazing. Service was okay and the ambience was really spot on. I would return but only with vouchers as the prices for the platters are way above average.
The food was pretty good, service was quite slow had to ask for things multiple times as the elderly waiter would forget. Overall great location, although the restaurant itself could do with a little maintenance and cleaning!
We enjoyed a fantastic lunch of fish & chips with a bottle of Chardonnay. It's a very relaxing place to enjoy a romantic meal, in such a legendary and historic city. Staff was very efficient and the restaurant is clean.
Nice place with great ambiance.. Very disappointing however dat they did not have da crayfish which was one of da main course meal choices, which most of us were looking forward to. Theres room for improvement with regards to service and id say da best part of the night there wud have to have been da desert.. Absolutely divine!
