The Verdict

Pier, Cape Town, South Africa. Pier, Cape Town, South Africa. The elegant dining room overlooks the harbour and offers a refined setting. The experience is built around multi course tasting menu, with focus on seafood alongside South African ingredients. The food is beautifully presented, although a few courses leave a stronger impression than others. It is one of Cape Town’s most expensive restaurants, but the quality of the produce justify the price. Desserts are creative. Service is attentive without becoming intrusive. The dining room had a very strong smell which indicates a ventilation issue.
