    Diva's: Best Pizza @ Diva's
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Diva's

    The most fabulous pizza you've ever tasted & they are rather large.
    I had to visit Divas again on my last visit & again was not dissapointed, I ordered a pizza with bacon, feta, avocado and pepperdews (a south african sweet bell pepper pickled) Cheryl enjoyed a thai green curry chicken pizza with chilli. Both pizza's were R50 and again huge the house wine is reasonable per glass

    Touch of Madness: Touch of Madness
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Touch of Madness

    This old victorian house has been converted into a very a very happening bar as well as rooms to mellow out in as well as a dining area.

    There are a mixture of couches and antique chairs in the rooms, with a fireplace for chilly evenings. The bar staff are extremely helpful being a bit on the flamboyant side but then the place is aptly named a touch of madness.

    I enjoyed their homemade beef burger with separate side sauces whilst my friend had the Chicken fillet, both were very generous portions with delicious fat cut chips. We then moved on into the more intimate sitting room to indulge in Kaluha Don Pedro's. The bill came to R176 before tip incl wine.

    One of the sitting rooms are designated as smoking.

  • Restaurant Name: Quay Four

    Outside eating area right on the waterfront.
    Have the seagulls staring hungrily at your steak & chips.
    Food is fairly dominated around fish but you can get burgers & steak here.

    A bit more pricey but then this is the waterfront, there is a posh restuarant upstairs.

    Dunes Restuarant: Sundowners @ Dunes
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Dunes Restuarant

    A good variety of food and cocktails are offered here with tables in the full sunlight, under shade or inside. Do be aware that service here tends to be rather slow. Prices range btw R45 - R75 on average for a main meal

    The cocktails are huge so be careful how many you have if you are designated driver. Good place for sundowners or candlelit dinners.

    Backs onto Hout bay beach & sometimes have concerts here.

     There is a pricing error for the main dishes as you have reisgestererd them in British Pounds instead of South African rands. The prices in Pounds are way off. IT would never cost that much. Jill
