Amazing food ! Ostrich was outstanding and I had a nice dessert called malva pudding which is a traditional dessert in South Africa Owner is great person and got me a perfect table My exceptional and incredible waiter was Christian wow top Sunset time is spectacular ! See you again @jonathanviatge

Mantra Café is simply a Cape Town gem that captures everything wonderful about coastal dining — breathtaking views, impeccable food, and an effortlessly chic atmosphere. Perched above the ocean, it offers the most stunning backdrop for a leisurely lunch or a sunset dinner. The menu is vibrant and beautifully presented — from the fresh seafood to the flavorful salads and perfectly cooked mains, every dish feels thoughtfully curated and full of flair. The cocktails are equally divine, balancing creativity and freshness with that signature Cape Town elegance. What truly sets Mantra Café apart, though, is the service — warm, attentive, and polished without ever feeling rushed. The staff make you feel genuinely welcome and elevate the experience from excellent to exceptional. Whether you’re a local or visiting the Mother City, Mantra Café is an absolute must. A perfect blend of style, flavor, and ocean magic — pure Cape Town perfection!

Our waiter Christian (thank you!!) took such good care of us and created a fun playful lovely dining atmosphere for our dining experience. We were able to get a table for five despite not having a reservation for sunset dinner.

This was a wonderful experience. We showed up at 11:38 and at first they wanted to turn us away for breakfast- but the common sense prevailed. We sat down and ordered real fast. The kitchen finished even quicker… was superb… see below We were in and out in 55min :) The ROYAL was really great… small but powerful… excellent consistency every bite was a pleasure. The smash was also just out of this world…. The next time we will reserve a table so we get. Great view :)

My dish was great. And to smoothie lovers: it was in good portion! Also, the staff were friendly and welcoming, they assisted me to get a table on the terrace as I requested immediately! They had a shop that sells multiple goods, genuine leather wallets/bags were splendid. That’s it. Thank you.

Mantra is an excellent spot with a great view of the beach. We were a table of eight, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The food was fresh, tasty, and well-presented, with a good range of choices. Ostrich fillet highly recommended. The décor is modern but relaxed and suits the seaside setting. Service was excellent – our waitress, Babes, was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout. Overall, Marta Café delivers quality food, good atmosphere, and great service. A strong choice for a meal in Camps Bay, and I would not hesitate to come back here.

I loved how i was welcomed from the entrance, polite guy. The restaurant is beautiful and has cool aesthetics. My waiter was sweet and didn't make me feel like I was on a solo lunch. The bread they offer before your meal comes 1000/10. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food is not pricey. The views are stunning 100%.

Lively atmosphere. Super friendly service. Really tasty food. Quick. Was recommended by the local. And it matched expectations. The steak is just awesomely tasty! Reservation way beforehand is strictly recommended.
