Great service, absolutely loved the food and the drinks, staff was friendly and checked up on us frequently to make sure we didn’t need anything else, and the restaurant is always so neat and tidy. 5/5 from me :)

The restaurant called a few hours ahead to confirm the reservation. We arrived a bit early and they recieved us without an issue. We had a lovely view of Nelson Mandela Square. Ordered cocktails which were lovely. The Pita bread was served as a starter, it was delicious and fresh. Dessert was ice cream with chocolate sauce which had a bit of a nutty taste. I enjoyed that as well. My partner enough her main which was the lamb neck. My main was beef ribs. It wasn’t bad but it felt like something was lacking. I wouldn’t order it again. The waiter could have checked on us at critical moments, like when we had stop eating and kept looking for him. However I wouldn’t say it was poor service.

Overall, it’s a beautiful restaurant. I’d definitely go back despite not really enjoying my main to try out their other menu items.

The food was good, the mash potato was not smooth and it was a small portion. I love the view.

We had a friendly welcome to Pappas. Ambience at Pappas is always relaxed and good. I found the menu selection pleasing and I decided to try the fillet of trout. It was delicious! Food was very very good. The staff were very attentive. It was a great start to our restaurant week.
