Well my steak was inedible. Tough, sinewy and just terrible quality meat. I could not eat it. If you're going to offer a 'special' like this at least try to make it memorable as surely you want people to come back and to relate the experience to others.
Our waitress Emelia was fabulous!
It was a memorable experience : everything from the way we were welcomed , the superb food to the awesome setting was picture perfect . A meal to remember !M
We visited the grand cafe and beach in granger bay for restaurant week. It was great - the waiter recommended a cocktail that was delicious and the food was fantastic. Even though the weather was a bit miserable, the experience was ver enjoyable and we will definitely be back. Thank you!
Our lunch at Grand Cafe was a pleasant enough experience. Gonny, our waiter was articulate and friendly, even if a bit slow when it came to ordering - also never asking if he could refill our drinks.

Our lunch at Grand Cafe was a pleasant enough experience. Gonny, our waiter was articulate and friendly, even if a bit slow when it came to ordering - also never asking if he could refill our drinks.
The setting is a must for anybody that loves the sea. Having a view over the harbour and being able to watch the coming and goings is always enjoyable.
As for the food, it was hearty and the portions were generous. The cajun calamari starter was just spicy enough for my liking. My T-bone however did dissapoint. The cut was way too thin to allow for anything close to the medium rare temperature that I ordered. I feel that it was also quite bland, however I did enjoy the chips. On the other hand, everybody else ordered the fish and raved about how tasty it was, making me wish that I had ordered that instead. My salted caramel, popcorn and ice cream dessert with chocolate mousse was delicious.
All in all, a very enjoyable restaurant. Especially if you are looking to share the Cape Town experience with someone.
The service at the Grand was great - attentive staff!
The menu had delicious options.
I had the line fish which was in a tasty sauce and was the best I have had in a long time!
Overall it was a brillant experience - will definitely go back!
