Great atmosphere, excellent food and unbelievable service
Exceptional experience from start to finish
Really welcoming staff, beautiful venue. Menus was really amazing and delivered by staff that truly worked as a team. Was really a memorable lunch

Had a very nice dinner there. The restaurant itself is rather basic. No tablecloth or so rather basic chairs, but excellent service. The food was really high standard. Lots of different tastes. Very creative and surprising. Great lamb and fish dishes with a beautiful presentation.
What we didn’t like is that they advertise a six course dinner that actually is a 3 ½ course dinner. I do not consider a spoom icecream that isn’t even on the menu, or a little after dinner chocolate as a course. Rather disappointing way of promising more than you deliver. The restaurant does not need these fake tricks For the rest we had a great dinner and we can recommend this place for the quality of the food
This classy yet comfortable restaurant was a real treat! The food was prepared with flavourful fresh ingredients and plated to perfection. The atmosphere was relaxing, yet classy and the staff made us feel so special.

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.
