A very busy fancy place where the rich and the beauties are coming together for chatting and watching.
Stunning venue (although a bit noisy inside), extremely slow service and disappointed with the calamari dish as main meal.
Would not recommend or visit again soon.

The promise of a great meal during restaurant week turned out to be very disappointing. We waited about 2 hours for our starters of beef carpacio. We had to approach the manager to find out what the delay was about. It would have been great if the manager came around to explain. When it eventually arrived the beef was a poor quality. I don't even think you could call it carpacio. Then there was another wait for the main meal, an item included on our bill that was not ours. Just a generally disappointing evening and meal.
The atmosphere was great, but I don't think I will be visiting again or recommending the place to friends.
Thanks
Had a fabulous day in the sun/sand with no wind. Can't ask for a place with better atmosphere in summer - we all loved it! Recommended!
We booked the Restaurant Week lunch but found it strange that we were not given the Restaurant Week menu, but their normal menu instead. perhaps the restaurant is trying to up sell their normal menu?

Watercress soup was delicious, but the short-rib burger was really not up to scratch - very strange texture, no flavour and I did not continue after 2 tastes. Chips and onions rings disappointing too. The setting and the service made up for the hamburger although a very long wait to pay our bill resulted in a smaller than normal tip.

About Grand Africa
Cuisine: Mediterranean, French
Cape Town’s favourite destination restaurant and venue, Grand Africa Café & Beach embraces a free-spirited beach café culture, nestled poignantly on the sea-front shoreline and flaunting her majestic views of the mighty Atlantic and Robben Island.
With iconic style and playful luxury, Grand captures the quintessential charm and colloquial effervescence of the bustling city vibe while offering a quaint and relaxed escape, 'a world away' in the heart of the Cape Town's social mile. Since opening our doors in December 2009, this much-loved Cape Town classic has fast become a true must-do destination restaurant and nightspot for beach-chic dining, lazy sundowners and slow-motion rendezvous.
Built within a restored boathouse still richly textured in mariners' lore, today Grand pays tribute to worldly travellers by offering a unique blend of fun and relaxation - positioned on a private beach just minutes from Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront shopping and tourist precinct. Table Bay with the Green Point Stadium, Signal Hill and Table Mountain form a breath-taking backdrop to capturing perfect moments in Africa's retro-romance capital.
With a choice of five bars, ocean view decks, nine private function venue areas and on-beach dining, you're sure to find the perfect spot to capture that unforgettable magic, that is simply ... Grand.
