Bao Down

Sea Point Restaurants: Bao Down

Big things, they say, come in small packages – which is certainly the case for this Green Point gem. In a beautifully calm space, with soft-pink walls, vintage bird prints, antique mirrors, greenery and origami-esque lights, chef Graham Oldfield serves a concise Asian small-plate menu with bao buns as the hero (they even feature as a deep-fried bao dessert). The place gets packed to the brim with regulars looking for flavour-filled bites, including moreish Korean fried chicken, hoisin-braised beef short rib, pork belly, gochujang sweet potato, and spicy prawn baos, plus yellowtail sashimi and prawn toast – all artfully plated on Chinese supermarket crockery.
Good to know Check out their pantry of sauces and buns where you can shop for the makings of your own bao buns at home.
Opening times Monday – Friday, 6pm – 11pm (5.30pm – 11pm during winter)

NV-80 Grill & Bar

Sea Point Restaurants: NV 80

A mall may not be your first choice for dining, but at NV-80 Grill & Bar you’re truly none the wiser. Up the escalators and through the dark wooden doors, you step away from the fluorescent shopping centre and into another world. Romantic mood lighting and elegant decor transport you to an 80s-style dining hall in downtown Havana. Enjoy a cocktail on the verandah overlooking Lion’s Head, or settle at a table inside and enjoy some of the best prawns in the city, a juicy grass-fed steak, beef ribs or a wagyu burger. Now under the same ownership as vibey neighbours Jarryds and Ariel, NV-80 continues to inject a soupçon of cool into classic grill bar dining.
Good to know It’s family friendly at lunchtime, but no kids under 12 are allowed in the evenings.

The Nines

Sea Point Restaurants: The Nines

Dressed to the nines, it’s all about taking it to the top at this chic rooftop restaurant and lounge, which happens to be on the ninth floor. The cocktail lounge is plush to the ninth degree, with leather couches and designer armchairs, then there’s a huge deck extending out from the restaurant with ocean and sunset views to die for. Start with oysters then go for one of the classic dishes with a contemporary spin: butternut ravioli, roast baby kingklip, seafood platters, chicken saltimbocca, slow-braised beef rib, and tempting desserts such as crème brûlée, chocolate mousse or brown butter apple crumble. Fabulous cocktails and a substantial winelist complete the picture.
Good to know There is secure underground parking in the Station House building and a swift elevator straight to the rooftop restaurant.

Ariel Modern Italian

Sea Point Restaurants: Ariels

This enticing, rosy-hued space, where Naples meets New York, is the perfect place to wind down the day – whether it’s negronis with a bite on the side, or a fabulous meal with someone special. Combining the energy of these cities with authentic ingredients on the plate, the menu is a contemporary interpretation of the classics – antipasti of flatbreads with burrata or ricotta, marinated anchovies, ravioli arrabbiata, truffley mushroom tagliatelle, a wagyu burger with provolone, chicken piccata and Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzas. For a cosy date night vibe ask for seating in the lounge area at the back where a neon-lit wall light spelling out “Baci Bella” says it all…. Finish off with a luscious dessert, or ask for directions to Nightcap, the secret speakeasy across the way.
Good to know No children under 12 after 5pm. NoName Hospitality Group is also home to Jarryds Brunch & Bistro, a popular brunch spot and daytime eatery, and a growing number of Sea Point hotspots including Kiki and Alfi Pizza.

La Boheme Wine Bar & Bistro

Sea Point Restaurants: La Boheme

This European-style bistro and wine bar (decked out with old wine barrels and sidewalk patio tables) has been dishing up delicious and unpretentious Spanish-inspired fare since 2009. The menu, casually displayed on a blackboard, changes regularly according to availability of produce and the chef’s imagination, but always includes hearty main dishes and a wide range of tapas sharing plates that also veer towards Asia, with gambas al ajilo and baked brie rubbing shoulders with pulled-lamb wontons and steamed prawn har gow. In addition, the extensive by-the-glass winelist (over 60 varieties) has something for everyone.
Good to know The regular tapas special of R285 for three dishes is a winner.

El Burro Taqueria

Sea Point Restaurants: El Burro

This lively Mexican joint first captured hearts back in 2010. It’s since moved downstairs to street level as a vibey, no-reservations taqueria (along the lines of its popular Tamboerskloof sibling). Grab a booth in the colourful interior, or a table outside on the covered verandah to watch the world go by. Fish, beef, chicken or duck tacos (jackfruit, tofu al-pastor and broccoli-avo for the vegans) and an extensive range of tequilas are the order of the day – whether it’s a quick bite on the run, or a long evening of margaritas, nachos, enchiladas, quesadillas (again, great vegan options). Finish with churros and dark-chocolate fondant. Other tempting offerings include chicharrons (pork scratchings) and ceviche, plus a good selection of craft beers, too.
Good to know There are several vegan options for tacos and quesadillas. No reservations.

Kiki

Sea Point Restaurants: Kiki

A vibey new addition to the Regent Road scene (from the owners of Jarryd’s, Ariel et al), Kiki does for Greek food what Ariel does for Italian, putting a contemporary spin on the delicious flavours of Athens and the Greek riviera. And it’s already creating a stir. Think meze-style sharing plates of dolmades, tzatziki, fried halloumi, spanakopita and more, as chef Scott Walker re-interprets the flavours he explored on his recent Greek Odyssey. A pantheon of creative cocktails completes the experience.
Good to know No children under 12 allowed at dinner. A lunch service is planned soon.

Amare

Sea Point Restaurants: Amare

Amare takes its name from the Latin word for love, a sentiment that shines through in every dish at this new restaurant in Bantry Bay. It embraces a South Coast Mediterranean style – light and flavourful with olive oil, lemon and chilli featuring in most dishes. All the plates we tasted on a busy Saturday night were fresh and vibrant: appetisers of crumbed feta with honey; tomato gazpacho; beef carpaccio; and kingklip ajililo with garlic, chilli and capers. On the mains menu: linguine limone; charred aubergine with baba ghanoush and Parmesan; chalmar beef; grilled prawns; and chargrilled linefish, and stand-out sides of white kidney beans; sauteed seasonal vegetables; crispy potatoes with burnt butter and sage; and a perfectly fresh green salad. For dessert the earthy and delicious chocolate torte with salted lemon sorbet comes highly recommended.

Sundoo

Sea Point Restaurants: Sundoo

This Indian gem comes courtesy of chef-restaurateur Seelan Sundoo, who’s had his hand in a number of popular Cape Town eateries (La Perla, Seelan, and now Kanji Ramen). At Sundoo, Seelan brings his heritage to the table: South Indian cuisine with a contemporary Durban twist, served in vibey tapas and sharing-plate format. Expect samoosas, Nepalese dumplings, Kerala roast chicken in a clay oven, Humma’s lamb curry and butter chicken. (Curries are prepared from scratch at a central kitchen in Woodstock.) The decor is pared-back and modern, with nods to Seelan’s Kerala roots. The small space seats just 40 people, with one long booth against the wall (prompting a relaxed neighbourhood vibe of chat between tables) and more seats at a street-facing counter.

Bellagio

Sea Point Restaurants: Belaggio

Thirty years after starting Bellagio in Joburg (where it’s a well-loved name), chef-owner Louise Castle brought her classic Mediterranean dining to Cape Town. Bellagio is hidden away at the Foundry in Green Point (where Beluga used to be), with a peaceful pergola-shaded courtyard, white tablecloths, excellent service and a freshly seasonal menu of upmarket comfort food. Louise’s soufflés are famous (try the cheese one with spinach or the chocolate one for dessert). We also recommend the Neapolitan-style puffy-crusted pizzas, the pear-and-Parmesan salad with roasted hazelnuts, and the baked kingklip. Whether you’re in the mood for pasta, risotto, salads, seafood or steak, you’ll find what you’re after on the varied menu.
Good to know Pet-friendly in the outdoor seating area. There is plenty of free underground parking at The Foundry.

HeSheng Chinese Restaurant

Sea Point Restaurants: Hesheng

Authentic with a capital A, HeSheng prides itself on lip-smacking food that has long had Sea Point locals, Chinese patrons and a few of Cape Town’s top chefs coming back for more. New owners (two young couples who worked with Ma and then took over in 2023) have kept the same no-frills philosophy of cheap-and-cheerful decor and honest-to-goodness food, and pretty much the same menu of adventurous dishes that you won’t find elsewhere in the city. In addition to dim sum, noodles, wonton soups and spring rolls, there are also exciting salads and vegetable dishes (the xiao long bao comes highly recommended). Word of mouth has turned this once-secret hole-in-the-wall into a Sea Point favourite.

Three Wise Monkeys

Sea Point Restaurants: Three Wise Monkey

This izakaya (informal Japanese gastropub) and ramen bar is an after-work and weekend favourite. On most evenings, the narrow eatery bursts at the seams with Atlantic Seaboard locals popping in after a Promenade stroll, colleagues getting together for face-to-face time, and out-of-towners intrigued to see what all the fuss is about. An illustration of Kid Goku from anime TV series Dragon Ball Z hangs above the open kitchen, setting the mood. Grab a seat at the pavement-facing counters to enjoy a steaming bowl of ramen, delicious fresh sushi, bao buns or poke bowls.
Good to know No reservations. Add your name to the list and wait at the bar for a free table.

Cozco Mediterranean

Sea Point Restaurants: Cozco Mediterranean

Much loved by Sea Point locals, this family café has expanded into a full-blown Mediterranean restaurant at night. Costa and Natasha Peroglou started off as a specialist Greek and Italian deli, then added a few tables on a covered verandah, which were always packed, and now after a six-month hiatus for renovations, have transitioned into a welcoming and stylish restaurant. What’s not changed is the delicious food… home-style dishes made with love. Costa’s spanakopitas come highly recommended and there’s a whole load more to taste, so that you’ll need a few visits to work your way through all the hot favourites: calamari, meatballs, grilled chicken with lemon potatoes, stuffed aubergine, burrata salad, beef trinchado, seafood pasta, calamari and their famous zucchini roses… simply delicious.
Good to know There’s a full breakfast menu too.

Sotano

Sea Point Restaurants: Sotano

This Mediterranean-inspired spot has been a stalwart of the Mouille Point promenade for 14 years, the wide verandah a natural stop-off for breakfast after a morning walk, for lunch gatherings with friends, for sundowners and tapas, and for date-night dinners, with views towards the bay and lighthouse. Fresh from a refurb (fish ceramics and a soft pastel palette with pops of colour), there’s a new seafood focus on the menu. We particularly loved the stuffed calamari tubes with chorizo and harissa, and a standout seafood linguine, but there’s a whole lot more including sushi platters, West Coast sole, crispy squid tentacles, and classic fried white bait. Or go for a fresh salad bowl, flatbreads, the signature lamb burger or steaks.
Good to know  Dogs are welcome on the terrace and can order from the Fur Babies menu with a pillow to relax on.

The cosmopolitan eatery has been on the local restaurant circuit for many moons, serving the same fresh, flavourful Mediterranean-style dishes.

Sonny and Irene

Sea Point Restaurants: Sonny And Irene

Dressed in pastel pink, marble and oak, this café blends Art Deco nostalgia with up-to-the-minute accents – brilliantly echoing what Sea Point was and is. To match the gorgeous interiors, the menu combines retro, classic and contemporary flavours, from breakfast to lunch and dinner dishes, sultry sundowners and desserts. At the heart of it all is a bakery offering an array of breads, bagels and bakes, which feature on the menu as say a grilled prawn bap, or a sourdough croque. Steak frites, grilled lemon sole, beef carpaccio, lush salads and blackened trout Niçoise continue the nostalgic Mediterranean vibe…. Naturally, there’s a tantalising sweets and pastries trolley, too.

Il Leone Mastrantonio

Sea Point Restaurants: Il Leone

This convivial Green Point ristorante serves traditional and modern Italian dishes with robust flavours, and is always packed with loyal locals and tourists from the nearby hotels. A stalwart of the Cape Town Italian scene since it opened in the 1990s, the historic Green Point building ties in with the upmarket trattoria vibe, together with the art on the walls. It’s great for people-watching – but book well in advance to get a table downstairs, which is where you want to be. Favourites from chef Daniel Toledo’s menu include carpaccio di manzo (finely sliced raw beef fillet with Parmesan shavings, mushrooms, celery and rocket); the legendary penne gamberetti (baby prawns in olive oil, fresh tomato, cream, garlic and chilli); and tagliata alla Mastrantonio (medallions of grilled sirloin topped with fresh rocket).

Qué Linda

Sea Point Restaurants: Que Linde

This newcomer to Regent Road, just down the block from its Mexican sibling, Una Más Mezcaleria, channels an old-school Spanish taberna with a subtle contemporary touch. A cosy 50-seater, it also has the luxury (in Sea Point at least) of a pocket-size open-air courtyard which is perfect for sultry summer nights. The menu is a Spanish-inspired selection of tapas and pintxos from chef Dian Botes (who masterminds both establishments). We tucked into punchy patatas bravas, nibbled on slices of jamón ibérico (from Wild Peacock) and shared a paella served in the pan, stacked with prawns, mussels, chicken and calamari… maybe not the most authentic version but generously portioned. A Basque cheesecake served with spice berry compote and dulce de leche is a fitting finish.

Sea Point Restaurants: Una Mas

For “cócteles” mixed with mezcal (tequila’s underground cousin), head to this cool little Sea Point saloon. Dressed in wood panelling, moody lighting and the odd potted cactus, it’s a vibey spot for a drinks gathering, and the Mexican-style tapas make it a tasty dinner spot too. On the menu you’ll find ceviche, grilled corn ribs, soft shell tacos, empanadas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls. And of course churros with chocolate mole for dessert. The substantial cocktail menu is all about classics with a twist – you’re bound to have “una más” (“one more”). Window seats opening onto the pavement let you people-watch, and you better believe it gets interesting.

The Strangers Club

Sea Point Restaurants: Strangers Club

Just off Green Point’s Main Road, in a heritage farmstead dating from 1828, this hidden treasure whisks you away from the bustle. Inspired by a 1940s book about a place in La Paz where travellers met to share stories and trade goods, The Strangers Club is an ode to exploration and storytelling. Housing both a restaurant and retail space, guests can wander through the maze of rooms inside, while a lush courtyard eatery is the perfect spot to recharge.

Butter

Sea Point Restaurants: Butter

The meltingly sleek new sister eatery to the Loop Street original opened last year in Sea Point, and there’s an open air, light-bedecked courtyard at the back. It’s an oasis of calm away from the traffic (and well worth walking up one block from your promenade perambulation). Sisters Aninke and Karien van Antwerpen were inspired by the New York brunch and cocktails scene for this all-day breakfast café concept where butter features in all its golden glory. All day breakfasts, luscious lunches and butter with everything, from banana bread to BLTs and butter flapjack stacks. We particularly enjoyed the “bun with everything” (egg, bacon, hashbrown, melted cheddar, jalapenos and tomato jam) and the juicy Butter burger, with mimosas naturally. But the French Banana took the prize for blissful decadence: home-baked nutty banana bread turned into French toast with lashings of creme fraiche, crispy bacon and strawberries… heaven on a plate.
Good to know The outside space is pet-friendly (for well-behaved pooches on leads).

Sea Point Restaurants: Our Local

A second branch of Our Local has opened in Sea Point – in the old Laughton’s Building on Main Road. It’s got the same eclectic, vintage, plant-filled rustic aesthetic as the original Kloof Street branch, with high ceilings, a dog-friendly bowl of water at the door and an always-laidback vibe. Breakfast, brunch and lunch menus continue all the old favourites from eggs Arnold Bennet and shakshuka to avo toast and toasties, and the cake hatch features their divine flourless chocolate cake, worth visiting for alone.

Kleinsky’s Delicatessen

Sea Point Restaurants: Kleinskys

At this bona fide New York-style deli, opened by brothers Adam and Joel Klein in 2014, you almost expect to bump into the cast of Seinfeld discussing whatever wackery their friend George has been up to that week. The menu of traditional Jewish foods with a modern twist includes bagels and pastrami made onsite using original recipes. We highly recommend the Breakfast Bagel, topped with either lamb bacon, streaky bacon or avo, with fried egg, cheddar and tomato. Other stand-outs are the Latke Benedict: poached eggs with potato latkes and hollandaise; and the Challah French toast with fried banana and fresh berries.

Arthur’s Mini Super

Sea Point Restaurants: Arthur's

Perhaps the cutest eatery-deli in Sea Point, its retro vibe is reminiscent of a corner grocery shop from the 80s, only cooler (and with a bar). For all-day breakfast, expect delicious “Things on Toast” (as it’s called on the menu), pancakes or Proper Vegan (with hash browns, mushrooms, beans and more). Arthur’s is most famous for its toasties, though – owners Stephanie Anastasopoulos and Will Hobson’s favourite is the Pizza Toast: cheese, tomato, anchovies, oregano.

Service is slick and quick, the food is fab and there’s an eclectic menu that will feed any craving. Come for their famous classic pancake stack, the Turkish eggs, a breakfast burger or one of the twists on eggs Benedict (a royale with salmon cream cheese roulade or one with buttermilk fried chicken).

This Italian sidewalk café, espresso bar and deli is where locals have been flocking for decades (35 years to be exact) for an industrial-strength espresso (and some of the best people-watching in the peninsula). And the recent change of ownership hasn’t changed a thing. With a long Italian-style deli counter of charcuterie sliced to order and a lavish selection of local and imported cheeses, and baskets of freshly baked breads, the build-your-own sandwiches are a must. Or go for the salad counter, home-cooked lasagnes, and other ready meals to eat in or take home.

    Had a late lunch at Que Linda and way over prices. R150 for a glass of wine 🍷 and it was such a small amount. R120 for a side of warmed up awfully batata Bravas. The sea food paella hardly had any chicken or fish. So unfortunately won’t be going back.

    Cooked at Adelphi Galleria, 277 Main Rd, Sea Point should definitely have made this list! Family run restaurant with amazing flavours. Repeat customer over here – best halloumi bagels, best coffee (with that complimentary cookie!) and consistently the most friendly service. I love it!
