    Quite disappointing. Ordered the cupcake selection for tea but honestly paid for presentation. The cheesecake was dense and hard to swallow, the cupcake nothing amazing about it. Would have gotten a better version for half the price and 4 of them at Woolworths. The service was okay but the waiter didn't really know much about the menu. The two stars are cause of the view but not worth a pit stop while visiting the museum.

    Awful service. Waited 15 minutes for the waiter to get my order, and then another 20 until waiter brought a cup of tea and a glass of wine. And after another 20 minutes I gave up on my dessert and left

    Right on top of the renowned Zeits MOCCA, the restaurant offers stunning views of the Capetown waterfront, Table Mountain and the city as a whole. The restaurant is really very good and unique, just like the gallery. It is not on the cheap side of things, but for its quality of food, location and high competition prices, it could not be better.

    The mock tails were sublime, the view even more so. And staff so attentive. Can't wait to return

    Really disappointing service, no communication from staff regarding out of stock items, no communication/signage regarding no takeaway box for uneaten food, half my meal was uneaten and only upon paying my bill was I informed I cannot take it home. Staff needs to be better trained, lots of potential for the space but falling short majorly.

    A fantastic hidden gem which can be overlooked easily as it appears to be very expensive however its well within reason. There is a really nice view of the harbor with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bar, dinner tables, high tables, and even a comfy lounge corner. I only had drinks so will need to go back for food.

    (Translated by Google) Streedfood platter and carot cake highly recommended. Nice view over the harbor. (Original) Streedfood platter und carot cake sehr zu empfehlen. Schöner Blick über den Hafen.

  • 4/5 Michelle S. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely architecture. But too commercial for me. Very touristy for the locals

  • 5/5 K V. 5 years ago on Google
    I had the absolute best time here. It is hard to find places in South Africa that cater to vegans but I had a wonderful meal here and the waiters didn't mind at all to get me a meal I could eat and enjoy. Lovely service, great view and overall wonderful experience

  • 3/5 Tanya B. 5 years ago on Google
    Needless to say...the view is simply stunning. Whole experience was spoilt by staff who were very loud. Tables and floor dirty with waiter just laying new cutlery etc without cleaning. No management visible. Cupcake was delicious, beautiful crockery. Will return but hope staff will be better trained & managed.

    A place where you can enjoy a gourmet meal with loved ones or meeting business partners in a tranquil and classy atmosphere!!!

  • 3/5 Vumani M. 2 years ago on Google
    The location and views are brilliant. Unfortunately the menu is very limited and goes down hill from there. The staff are friendly and attentive. We had a chicken club sandwich and a avo salad. So the quality of the food is what you pay for, prices average around R90. This means that the club sandwich had store bought toasted bread with stock standard melted gouda cheese. Overall a bit disappointing, hopefully lockdown issues and they'll bounce back.

    Beautiful place with a beautiful view and friendly staff. The menu was limited though, but the food that they did have was delicious

  • 5/5 Rustum B. 6 years ago on Google
    Amazing architecture, stunning views and unbelievable food offering. Well worth the museum entry! I'd suggest museum membership just to gain access to the restaurant whenever you want. Exciting things to come!

  • 5/5 Marcel D. 7 months ago on Google
    This was one of the most pleasant places I have been and it is worth every penny. The service was amazing and the entire place it beautiful and super clean. The bathroom made my jaw drop, because it took my breath away. The food were amazing and the mocktails are to die for. Everyone is very friendly and kind and I will go back again for sure! The food choices are very broad and you are sure to find something to your liking. The entire place is really beautiful!

    Delicious food with vegetarian options on top of the amazing MOCAA. Enjoy your lunch here before visiting MOCAA.

  • 5/5 Shirley H. 4 years ago on Google
    You'd expect to pay top dollar in a restaurant that is part of one of the world's top art museums, but the prices are very affordable and the food is lovely, as is the service and the view.

    (Translated by Google) Good wine + great food, splendid view! What could be better than having visited this superb museum than to have lunch with the family in this restaurant, located on the top floor of the Zeitz MOCAA. The view of the harbor is beautiful. The restaurant is design / stylish, the service, the presentation and the food / wine, just perfect! We loved our culinary experience! 5/5 visited in February 2019 (Original) Bon vin + bonne bouffe, splendide vue ! Quoi de mieux qu'après avoir visité ce superbe musée que de prendre le lunch en famille dans ce restaurant, situé au dernier étage du Zeitz MOCAA. La vue sur le port est magnifique. Le restaurant est design/stylé, le service, la présentation et la bouffe/vin, juste parfait ! On a adoré notre expérience culinaire ! 5/5 visité en février 2019
