Read full reviewAn incredible experience from arriving to leaving. The staff , their kindness and knowledge, attention to detail and ability to read the timing of your next course was outstanding. And then there was the food. A party of flavours in each bite, the artistry in plating was better than a Picasso painting and their choice of cutlery and crockery was unique and delightful. It was my mom’s birthday and when I booked , I added it in to the comments on the online section. Every staff member knew from the second we arrived that it was her birthday. We had at least 6 different staff attend to us and they all wished her happy birthday in person. I can’t pin point a favourite dish as they were ALL our favourites. I have been to a Michelin star restaurant in France , for me they, without a doubt , deserve a Michelin Star. You will not be disappointed.

Read full reviewWe had the most amazing experience at The Waterside. We opted for the 5 course dinner menu and we were left in awe of the food, atmosphere and the total experience. Each course was beautifully presented and the service was outstanding, topping up our glasses and clearing the plates seamlessly. The special touch was the head chef, Roxy, who came to chat to us about the dishes. It is a MUST-TRY restaurant.
Had a beautiful lunch with stunning food, great service and amazing friends
Absolutely incredible been there twice in a month
Great food, consistent with level of creativity and execution that you would expect from the La Colombe restaurant group. Friendly, attentive service. Restaurant lacked some atmosphere - expected there to be more of a tourist buzz around the Waterfront, but perhaps indicative of the changing seasons in Cape Town.

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.
