We love going to Manos! Not only is it only a few steps from the apartment but the food is consistently good and the service quick. Their menu is small and has a Mediterranean influence. We recommend that you go early as it fills up really quickly Sit on the veranda and watch the people bustle by!

Definitely one of my favorite spots for ramen & poke bowls. They have a small menu and last time I checked they were still waiting for a alcohol license so we could take our own. Only seats around 38 people so if you don't go early you might have to wait for a table.

This restaurant has a very good reputation with locals & tourists for fabulous sushi. If you are visiting the V&A Waterfront then we recommend you give them a try. The front door often has a queue of people waiting to get in so we suggest you get there before the rush hour at lunch or dinner. Note that they are on the pricey end though.

We LOVE this place! Yummy traditional Greek food with good service, all of which is enjoyed by many locals. They have an extensive menu but the owners/managers are so helpful in choosing something special. It has a lively buzz and we recommend that you make use of an Uber for the short ride to this restaurant so that you can relax and not worry about parking or having an extra glass of wine.

We loved our visit to Lily's for breakfast. Eggs benedict was delicious and the service was good. The restaurant has a unique & modern menu and is decorated with crisp finishes. Weekends are busy so try to get their a little earlier.

If you dont have the app on your phone yet then we highly recommend that you download it. Its easy to use and well worth the ride! Drinking & driving in SA is a criminal offence so rather make use of this fast taxi service and enjoy getting around safely. Destinations in the nearby area are generally under ZAR50 so not only is it cheap but it allows you to do a little sightseeing along the way!
