    The place is great! Great set up with an amazing ocean view! The food is amazing! I had a seafood platter for 1. It is slightly expensive but definitely worth the price! Worth checking them out!

    This really is one of my top restaurants in camps bay. The prawns and calamari is always amazing. If you are into fish then give the baby kingklip a try.

    Perfect location with amazing views. Pleasant ambiance. Great service, our waiter was delightful and we did not wait long for our food. The food was delectable...the ribs I had were falling off the bone and beautifully seasoned. My company was also raving about their food. Unfortunately didn't get to try the dessert menu because of time constraints (on our side)... Looking forward to that on the next visit! Did I mention how clean the place was?! From the way the staff was dressed, right down to crockery and utensils. A refreshingly beautiful experience all round.

    Terrible vibe and the staff are extremely unhelpful. The food was good-ish: Starter was huge, main was tasty but lacked acidity and the crème brûlée was good but also had a slightly eggy aftertaste. We ordered the set menu (summer 2 or 3 course set menu) which wasn’t well curated in my opinion. Very rich and the portions were just too big to enjoy. In fact, we all felt a bit ill afterwards because the food was too rich. Might just be what we ordered though and in general I would say each course on its own would have been okay but not worth putting up with lack of atmosphere and staff with chips on their shoulders. Cosmopolitans were very good but stay away from their Bloody Mary’s. Zero seasoning. No garnish. Just a milkshake glass filled with tabasco, whole pepper corns and tomato juice. The view was good, obviously, but there are many other restaurants in Camps bay with a similar view. No thanks

    Setting is beautiful Sunset it AMAZiNG Service is eish , you expect faster service in that price. the waiter was friendly but we waited alooot for the wine and we waited aloot for both bottles , so we wached the sunset without drinks, it came at the end, and eat some of our food without wine also 😵‍💫. The starters were really nice, *** I really don’t recommend the tahini seared tuna. I am neutral about the seafoodplatter .. nothing special but very expensive

    I had great expectations for this place, but it didn't deliver on this occasion. I would say that the location is great, assuming the weather is good, if not there is no view to appreciate. Staff are friendly and competent, however, our food did take a fairly long time to be served, When the food did eventually arrive, it was ok, unfortunately nothing special. Maybe our expectations were too high, having eaten at Babel and Le Coin, etc. As an example, the grilled calamari was no better than Ocean Basket at the V&A. Chicken salad was pretty dry and just average. Anyway, try for yourself and see what you think.

    I will certainly be returning to this restaurant, welcoming kind staff, the virgin strawberry daiquiri was delicious, seafood fresh and delicious. Was overall happy with every meal! Beautiful view is the cherry on top...

    Consumers beware, this place is a straight up rip off. We came with a party of 37 people and soon as we sat down the servers bought out water and immediately started pouring it without asking us if we wanted it. The food was decent but not great. When it came time to leave, only 1 check per table was given and we were told to figure out our own individual costs. The worst of it was we were all charged for 20 plus bottles of water unbeknownst to us and we consumed no where near that amount of H2O. Additionally, gratuity was automatically included in the final bill which was annotated in fine print on the receipt. I highly recommend eating elsewhere for a more satisfying experience.

    The space is contemporary and chic, overlooking the bustling Camp Bay strip with stunning views of the beach, where the sea breeze fill you with that fresh ocean fragrance. The menu boasts Mediterranean seafood-inspired vibe with some interesting twists. We opted to visit for lunch, celebrating a milestone in our business, and the weather was a picture perfect for such a venue. We were offered a prime table, luckily (we did not book) as the other guests had finished early, to we got front and centre. Views for days! We jumped straight in with a with a glass of bubbly ad some oysters, ‘Au Naturel’, opulent, fresh, and delish. We then had a couple for starters, even though the main courses looked fabulous, we prefer lots of small plates. The Grilled Baby Squid with Roasted Red Pepper Purée, Olives & Basil was absolute delicious, followed by the Black Mussels with Shallots, Garlic, Harissa, White Wine & Crème, also mouth-wateringly good. These afternoon was beautiful, with a cracker dink-list to woe even the fussiest of connoisseurs. I think the cocktails deserve a special mention too, and the service, creating a special memory for our milestone celebration. Ciao ~SB 🏝️

    One of the best fine-dinning spots in Camps Bay. Food was delicious, drinks were good and service was even better!

  • 4/5 Comelite K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the seafood feast which is R1950 platter for 2. We also had oysters, mussels in a curry sauce and fried calamari which were all delectable. The service was great too, we arrived 3 minutes before the closing of their kitchen and they still accommodate us kindly and patiently. We were not rushed to finish at all.

    Vegan and vegetarian truly friendly! Last lunch in Cape Town we stopped by this lovely place. The service was absolutely perfect! The person who helped us was professional, well prepared and very polite.All the dishes we wanted were adjusted in a vegan way and all was delicious!!! The menu is very well studied to combine perfectly every taste. Also the cocktails were tasty and well made. We ordered 4 dishes, 2 cocktails the water and a coffee and we spent 817zar. Give a try to this place and enjoy a lovely lunch with an amazing view!

    This was a wonderful find, just off the Red Bus route and a stop off after a great morning’s sightseeing. Super service from Tracy and I ate literally the best tuna I have eaten in 15 years (in LA). Chenin blanc accompanied the tuna and my husband highly rated the whole Kingklip. Fantastic views over the bay and the soundtrack was cool jazz. Best meal so far this trip. Thanks!

    I never go to Cape Town without eating at Bilboa :) lovely setting and delicious food. Mango daiquiri is my favourite drink.

  • 5/5 Cameron P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience with Bilboa! The food was the highlight of our experience. Everyone loved their meal which varied from fish, calamari, steak, and more fish. The taste and presentation of my meal was lovely. Highly recommend a meal with fish and depending on the weather sitting outside on the balcony is wonderful! Will be back when visiting camps bay!

    We had the Grilled Chicken Skewer and the Sirloin of Beef bot delightful and not too heavy. The orders came through in a timely manner and the staff were friendly and very attentive. Nice semi Casual place for a date. Definitely worth a revisit.
