We went for our 10 year anniversary and had such a lovely time. All our expectations were met and we'll definitely be back.
Really great stuff
Let’s agree, The Pier is one of Cape Town’s very best, right? The kicker here is Restaurant Week; the lunch menu, at R795, is spectacular value given that the not dissimilar Chef’s Menu, also on offer, is nearly R1500.

The kicker here is Restaurant Week; the lunch menu, at R795, is spectacular value given that the not dissimilar Chef’s Menu, also on offer, is nearly R1500. The bread course is probably the best you’ll find at the moment, palette cleanser a bit of fun and petit four as imaginative as it gets. My wife is a veggie, she couldn't have been happier with her menu. My only critique would be the ambience of the room, it’s never felt right to me, almost unfinished but, that’s very much a personal thing which you should ignore and make up your own mind, as you have to go! Happy days, yummy food!
This was my third visit to PIER and like all my previous visits to them it was again surprise after surprise after surprise..the quail combined with the langoustine took me to “culinary heaven” Thank you PIER and I love you🍷
With my 30th birthday, I had to celebrate my birthday month the right way and that will always involve food. Having being to La Colombe before, I had high expectations for their sister restaurant Pier and I was not disappointed.
An elevated seafood experience like no another with immaculate attention to detail and the most incredible wait staff.
Highly recommend you try them out

About PIER Restaurant
Cuisine: Fine Dining
Situated in the beautiful Pierhead Building, guests will be welcomed to PIER Restaurant on the first floor, and The Waterside Restaurant on the ground floor – with each offering a different, but equally exceptional, dining experience. Situated away from the hustle and bustle of the Waterfront shopping district, these two restaurants will offer diners an opportunity to escape to the tranquility of waterside dining – with the iconic views that have made this attraction so famous worldwide.
Unforgettable ocean-side fine dining at PIER Restaurant
On the upper level, diners will find PIER Restaurant, which will bring an intimate, multi-course fine-dining experience to the one of the world’s most-loved destinations. At the helm will be John Norris-Rogers, who left La Colombe to join the launch team at La Petite Colombe, which, under his guidance, was recently named the second best restaurant in Africa at the recent TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice ‘Best of the Best’ Awards.
With Norris-Rogers as Head chef, diners can expect the finest local produce to take center stage, with a special emphasis on inspiration from the ocean – and, the tableside theatrics guests have come to expect from the team. Dishes that diners can look forward to oysters poached table side in local MCC or Thai style tuna with furikake or nitrogen poached citrus fruit to cleanse your palate.
Says Norris-Rogers, “Being given the opportunity to move back to Cape Town and head up PIER Restaurant is incredibly exciting. While the past four years at La Petite Colombe have been a fantastic journey, I can’t wait to help launch PIER as a special experience in the city – one that our guests will hopefully remember for the rest of their lives”.
Aaron Farquhar, current Manager of La Colombe, will be joining the team as Head of Front of House.
