    Arnold’s Restaurant have really nice Flapjacks and desserts. They also have some good breakfast options and great coffee. The only disappointment was the iced coffee, it was a bit watery. Other than that the views and vibe is quite nice.

    What a nice find. We really enjoyed our dining experience at Arnolds. The food was prepared with care and very tasteful. I will definately return to have the Cesar salad again and again. Special thanks to the manager for the Koelenhof.

    Great stop early in the morning. Business breakfast with a colleague. Large coffee is really large and excellent quality. The breakfast options are quite varied, we had the morning special with ostrich sausage and we'll prepared eggs! The little bowl of jam is a nice touch. I will come back and recommend this establishment to friends and family. Good spot on Kloof Street !

    Popular eating spot it seems. Humungous portions. Most breakfast items on menu under R100. Nice buzz of friendly customers.

    Arnold’s is a breakfast gem! Possibly my favorite in the world. I’ve never had a bad meal or experience. It is small, welcoming, and the food is always fresh. Wish we had one in joburg.

    I've visited Arnold's a few times for brekkie and the value and service have been spot on each time. They've got a very pleasant, casual atmosphere which is conducive to lingering. Compared to other places I've visited, they don't necessarily go all out on pretty, aesthetically dishes. That's not to say that your meal is visually unappealing, but they go for quality first, aesthetics second, which is how it should be, They make, in my opinion, one of the best cappuccinos in town and if you're like me and need to accessorize your coffee with a mimosa, they've got you covered. Their breakfasts are hearty and thoroughly enjoyable and the attentiveness of their services is top notch. Us Westerners love to complain about slow and inconsistent service, but I've had no trace of that whatsoever at Arnold's. Their servers are very attentive and friendly, and, frankly, delightful, and this complements the amazing food. I've only been here for brekkie which, I can't stress enough, is fantastic and I need to pop in for dinner one night. But based on my experiences thus far, I have no doubt that it will be amazing as well. So if you've not been, by all means check this place out. It is, by far, one of my favourite spots in Cape Town.

  • 4/5 Tiara J. 1 year ago on Google
    Decided to visit Arnold's due to recommendations. The owners and staff are so friendly and welcoming. We came for breakfast and found the portions a little on the small side but very fresh and tasty. The flapjacks though were huge! Super light and fluffy. Would definitely come back for the flapjacks!

  • 5/5 Mugisha H. 1 year ago on Google
    Arnold’s never disappoints, great value for money and very wide variety from breakfast all the way to dinner. They also have lovely mimosas and a daily happy hour from 4-6.

  • 4/5 Daniel J. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate here one even, the place has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff and wasn't too busy so it was very nice. The Game Meat selection was delicious and fairly prices, I would recommend it. But the veg option leave some room for improvement, the curry was mainly made up of a shredded salad. But it did tastes good. We also had the creme brulee, nice presentation but it wasn't very good. Overall nice place with a good meat selection and reasonable prices.

  • 4/5 Zanie N. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed the breakfast, filling and delicious. The waiters are friendly and welcoming too. There’s a smoking area as well as an outdoor non-smoking area aside from sitting inside. The food is decently priced and I was happy with the portions.

  • 4/5 Lise-Mari G. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely spot for breakfast. Had a light meal: bacon, camembert and spring onion croissant with an iced coffee. Food and Service was good, need to work on the iced coffee. Does get busy, so recommend booking a table.

  • 5/5 thabile s. 8 months ago on Google
    I love this place. Their food is so delicious, on this day I had their classic burger (I forgot to take a picture of the burger), carrot cake with ice cream for dessert and their strawberry daiquiri was amazing! The space is really nice and aesthetically pleasing I must admit. Definitely worth it!

  • 5/5 Richard T. 7 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Joseph R. 3 years ago on Google
    I must say the Burger was exceptional. Not what I expected as I've only ever had breakfasts at Arnolds. But the burger was great. Great price too

  • 5/5 Siddiqah G. 3 years ago on Google
    The restaurant was very clean & tidy which is always a great starting point. The staff were also very friendly and efficient. The food & dessert (which is reasonably priced) was absolutely divine - I had the Cajun chicken breast with couscous and a butternut, feta and spinach salad. I then had the red velvet cake for dessert. I would definitely visit this restaurant again and recommend it to anyone.

    Portion size is like an appetizer. This is proper breakfast pic. Make sure to eat something before coming here :)

  • 5/5 Anton J. 3 years ago on Google
    Good vibe and service, best game cuts special on burgers and a gorgeous cheese and berry sauce burger that did not require any meat.

  • 1/5 donna k. 3 years ago on Google
    Where do I start? The waiter asked me three times whether I wanted red or white wine. He managed to forget what my friends wine order was twice. He didnt know the menu at all, and kept having to come back and ask what sides we wanted, etc. The food was shocking when it came. Way overpriced for what it was. Butter chicken that was 90% sauce, line fish and calamari cost R180 for a TINY square of fish, and shocking calamari. I ordered a cappachino, I was not given sugar, nor asked if I wanted any. We ordered "Baked Cheesecake with Rich chocolate sauce", for R60 which turned out to be a tiny, squashed piece of cheesecake, with cheap bottled chocolate syrup half a strawberry, and a small shot of canned cream. Pathetic!! Unfortunately it just went downhill from there. We were the only customers, but the manager spent his time watching the TV and ignoring us. Will definitely NOT be going back there again!!
