Read full reviewThis was one of the best experiences to date. We were there to enjoy the Chef’s Menu for Restaurant week, proceeded by the oysters - four Saldanha oysters’ beauties. We the proceeded with the Milk bun accompanied by roasted garlic, smoked pine nut and rosemary nut. For starters we both had the crayfish with Cape Malay Apricot, the rich flavours that it came with was great. A surprise palate cleanser arrived next - a lolly to make us jolly. Moving to the main course, my partner had the grass-fed fillet of beef and braised beef cheek with flavours of smoked garlic and white onion puree. I went with the line fish which was sea bass with tempura mussels. Our desserts, I opted for the chees board which was top-notch and showcased very high-quality cheese. Very good restaurant to consider when booking for Restaurant experience. Restaurant Epicures – 8.0/10.
It was an amazing experience. Eating works of art is the only way for me to describe the food. Sometimes I thought how these things taste so amazing together. The service was great. They were really friendly and competent. Really looking forward to go for another experience.
Excellent experience

About The Waterside 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 Victoria Wharf, 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.
Says Kirton on these exciting new ventures for The La Colombe Group, “We have been looking at various sites at the Waterfront for many years now - when this site became available we needed little convincing to undertake this project. We hope to create an experience the Waterfront has never seen before - for both locals and international guests alike.”
Casual fine-dining at The Waterside Restaurant
Tempting guests for a spot of ocean-side dining on the ground floor is The Waterside Restaurant – offering a sophisticated, but more casual menu that guests can enjoy both indoors, and on the outdoor deck – perfect for sumptuous summer lunches.
Bringing her expertise to the kitchen is Roxy Mudie, who will be Head Chef, having previously worked as Sous Chef at both La Colombe and Protégé.
Says Kirton on Roxy’s appointment, “Roxy has worked with me for seven years, over which time I’ve watched her grow – and could not be more proud of her as she takes this next step in her career. She is a bubble of talent waiting to explode and I can’t wait to watch her spread her wings in this exciting new space”.
Van Zyl Van der Merwe, long-standing La Colombe alumnus, will join The Waterside team as Front of House Manager.
Taking a peek at The Waterside’s menu, guests can look forward to Cape Malay crayfish salad or Asian pork belly with scallops.
