Quite suprised about the quality of the food! For most, Shimmy is a place to dance and drink, not eat. For me too, so I had expected the focus of the place to be on just that and not on the food. But, I was pleasantly surprised! We shared some pizza's as a starter and had the seafood platter to share too. A big feast. Just one tip for the interior designer: why the big tables? The restaurant area is already quite noisy and if you sit so far apart, your dinner looses intimacy. Other than that, a happening and vibrant place, beautiful people, a luxury feel... in short: a great night out.

My new favourite place in Cape Town... Finally a beach club like in the south of France. Amazing menu including the best thin pizza's in town, fresh sushi or great variety in menu. Good service and best beach beds if the sun allows.
Pitty they covered the area with all the couches as missing out on the sun but understandible.
Can highly suggest!

Shimmy is something the city was missing. It is a beach club (something you hardly find in Cape Town) with great cocktails, nice food and stunning view. Nice during the day if you want to relax.

We had dinner at Shimmy's last week Wednesday. Nice crowd, very good food and friendly service. The main course arrived while we were still enjoying the first course and the question was: 'would you like us to keep it warm for you' This was quiete a funny question.... besides the service that could be better this is...
