The first time I tried to eat at Paranga I couldn't get the staffs attention and there was no one in the restaurant besides myself . So I walked out. Yesterday I thought I'd give it another go as the staff at my hotel recommended it. I had a lovely meal and a great waiter (Archie) very pleasant experience. I... More

For main I had t bone steak and girlfriend had a lamb main. My steak was absymal. Hardly any meat on it, the chips were overcooked and I left most of it. Complained... More

We ate here twice with a large group of friends who were visiting SA. Our first meal was very successful. The service was good although the food was mixed. However our second visit was a disaster. The service was very poor. The waiter kept trying to push the most expensive dishes. We were drinking expensive wine and it almost seemed... More

This place is one of our favourites. Today was our third time in our two week stay. Situated directly over the road from the beach, this restaurant delivers superb food and exceptional service. Live jazz and cold champagne made for a perfect lunch. Bernice is a real professional and clearly knows what great service is all about. Can't wait to... More

Perfect venue to sip sundowners and to have some sushi and snacks to share while taking in the amazing sunset. Situated on the strip, this place has a vibe, so book in advance. Some of the prices seemed to be a bit over the top (R160 for a T-bone steak), but there seems to be something for everyone on the... More

We stayed in Camps Bay whilst we were on honeymoon in January 2013. We ate in Paranga the 2nd or 3rd night and were so impressed with the atmosphere, service, food and cocktails. We decided we eat here on our last night.....we both had steak cooked to perfection with chips and the most amazing chilli and mushroom sauce. For dessert... More

We ate one night at the Paranga Restaurant in Camps Bay. It had been recommended by our hotel, and they were right. We enjoyed the meal, and my friend really liked her pepper steak. Finding parking near the restaurant was a bit difficult, and then finding the restaurant from the backside (where we parked) was a bit difficult, as we... More

First of all ask for Bernice---then let her suggest the best items on the menu and a nice wine for your dinner. Once you've eaten and drank to your hearts content she can provide a day plus list of great wineries to visit and other Cape Town must dos. Amazing food and service!
