    Great place for all day breakfast, the buffet has plenty of options and the staff are very helpful. It's conveniently located on the entrance facing the gate and has a wide range of seating options.

    The food was amazing, good food, good ambiance. Mpho was such a brilliant waiter. It’s a pity the restaurant closes at 15:00 on Sundays.

    Symphony’s is our usual Sunday breakfast routine , We opt for the eggs Benedict 80% of the time as it’s usually really tasty unfortunately the last two visits , the food hasn’t been up to standards , Not sure if this will be a norm for them now , I hope not, as their breakfast dishes were always good. I Would recommend a normal English breakfast over the eggs Benedict. The cappuccino could also do with a look over as it’s not the first time we received a “burnt tasting “ cappuccino. Service is still great and they always willing to assist you with a seat even when fully packed , pricing is also rather reasonable 2024 Update : The food has improved since the last visit and it’s back to being our weekly Sunday breakfast spot 👌👌, The manager has also spoken to us in regards to the initial review .

    Food great. Prices good. Service friendly but understaffed thus a bit slow. Much better option than franchised coffee shops

    Sunday afternoon lunch or dessert spot. Great seating options, atmosphere and decor. Upscale Fournous type of offering. The harvest table looked delicious, although the food was overcooked in the chaffing dishes due to too many burners underneath. The cake portions are huge so great for sharing but might be a bit sweet for one. Great coffee, the cappuccino was decently strong and the mill silky without being boiled from constant reheating or inexperienced. There was no shortage of smiles from the staff but a tiny bit of a more friendly demeanour would to me make a big difference. However, they are extremely well-trained, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. The menu offers everything you would expect with something for most tastes and dietaries without being overly full which to me is always a good sign of the operation knowing what their customer wants and putting their effort into the quality of their dishes, not the quantity. Great spot for a meet-up with friends, to have an out-office lunch or meeting or simply to pop in on your drive through Secunda.

    We went to Symphony's cafe for breakfast a few times now, and the food, service, and general experience are very good. Their chicken livers are a curry flavour, which is surprising, but not unpleasant. Omelettes are very good, as are the traditional breakfasts. Kids play area outside is lovely for littlies, just bring shoes and suncreen, as the floor outside gets very hot in the sun and there is no cover over the play area.

    Symphony's is always a joy. Staff are always friendly, well dressed, well spoken and helpful. The food is delicious, freshly made and takes a reasonable time. It's child friendly, with a play area and a kiddies menu. Bathrooms are upstairs, very pretty and clean.

    Friendly and efficient service, pleasant ambience, and good food served quickly at a reasonable price. It only needs a downstairs WC to get all five stars, but the rest is excellent.

    We had lots of meals here during our time in SA. Staff good, especially Lizzie. Inoch the manager very helpfull and attentive assisting me with the arrangements of my Fathers wake. It all ran very smooth. The cakes are amazing. Coffee is great. The other Manager also came to pay her respects and see if we needed anything on the day. Overall fantastic. Didnt have gourmet sandwiches on the platters though.

    The managers at symphony’s cafe in secunda work in silo, we hosted a small event on Friday. When doing the books there was no transparency. Over the phone the manager agreed that we can bring our own cake yet on the day of the event we were told that we are not allowed to cut the cake and if we want to cut it inside the restaurant we have to pay R300. We ended up cutting the cake outside of the restaurant on the boot of a car. We were constantly monitored (walking up and down) by the managers. We were told to not make noise. We witnessed the manager shouting at one of the waiters in-front of us. We were not told about welcome drinks. I personally wasn’t comfortable inside the restaurant the manager was very cold and mean. She didn’t greet, maybe if she had greeted and introduced herself. Instead of standing like a pre-school teacher monitoring a class of children

    Nice, fresh food, and not expensive with friendly people.

  • 2/5 Ilse 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the Eggs Benedict. Hollandaise sauce served on the side was ice cold, as if straight from the fridge. After finally getting a waiter to attend the issue, the entire breakfast came back even colder, and the sauce still freezing. Horrible waste of a breakfast.

    The staff makes you feel welcome. The coffee, food, service and the cookies was delicious. Will definitely recommend to others and come again 😁

  • 4/5 Marna G. 1 year ago on Google
    I just didn't like my food served on a cutting board, with paper as a serving dish. I mean, I can eat off of my own cutting board and straight from the pan if I so please - AT HOME. But when I pay for a meal somebody else made, I kind of expect a proper plate. It was not fish and chips wrapped in paper, suitable for an emergency meal somewhere on the side of the road, you know. This was a sit-down meal. That's my only (petty, perhaps) complaint. The food is always great. The service is always excellent.
